1 click Turn 2 strat broken?

I have to totally disagree, from personal experience every dungeon has helped me improve my game, there is a lot of learning gained even if you dont realise it. So im just curious how many people that have only done this strategy have succeeded in t5, just trying to pick up on a correlation.

There hasn't been a single dungeon or fight that I've seen so far that's helped me "improve my game." In fact, about 90% of things I encounter, I'm like, "Oh, it's like World in Flames" or "Oh, it's like Cosmic Barrage" or "Oh, hey, that's like Putricide's debuff!" It's an extreme sense of Deja Vu - only less complicated, less engaging Deja Vu.

I haven't seen Turn 5 there. It's possible there's a grand mystery in Turn 5 that will reveal to me how wrong I've been all this time, and will magically improve my gameplay. I doubt it, though.

Its true that anyone who has done Putricide is familiar with the 'pass the plague' mechanic, and everything offered in FFXIV can be found somewhere in a raid encounter in WoW. But then again, not everyone has played WoW and if they did, perhaps they weren't hardcore enough to see those fights. I do think that Square does a good job with their game mechanics, and new players do have an excellent lesson plan if they complete every dungeon/guildhest in sequence before moving onto the trials/raids. The difficulty progression is very steady, much moreso than WoW, where the difficulty sometimes varied heavily between encounters.

And no theres nothing 'new' in Turn 5, you can dissect the fight down to WoW mechanics if you wanted to.

I tried to do Guildhests the other day. No one follows the mechanics anyway. >.> They just brute force their way through. The NPC is yelling at you, "NO NO NO DO THIS" and people are just like, "herp derp, pew pew pew" and they win. I'm not sure anyone learns anything of value in those, tbh.
