If you think your right and the content is not that hard, please duty finder Titan and let me know who that works out.
There is an MMO out for the type of content that you want. Its called WoW (circa 2012+). A game that has been boiled down to the ability to hit a LFG/LFR/PVP button and be placed in a group that has been automatically buffed up and to "challenge" content that has been watered down so completely that a paddock of trained monkeys could defeat.


An MMORPG is a game that has traditionally required two types of investments to be successful. A time investment and an investment in people. Thus you need to be willing to schedule things with people you have met and fostered relationships in order to be successful. The amount of effort you have to put out in these activities in most "modern" MMORPGs is a lot less than it used to be. For the vast majority of us, FFXIV has given us only a small glimpse of what we used to find so valuable in our gaming experience. Something where hardwork, teamwork and determination all go hand in hand for a victory. I say "only a small glimpse" because there are quite a few of us out here playing this game that desire more of a return to what we had in the past. Where time and challenge were not bad words that people like you complain about. I desire things to work towards and set goals for. I desire a game where I am forced into making new friends and strong relationships with people in order to play the game I enjoy.

Its people like you that forced people like me away from games like WoW, Rift, ToR, etc. The ones that want it all on a plate and just want to "make believe" there is challenge and collect your loot.

My reply wouldn't be "Get Better", but is more like "Get a new Attitude".
