I know it might be hard for you to see past your own experiences, but not everyone has been playing since 1.0's beta. Not every newbie is inept at playing the game. So just because I'm 'late' to the party, my enjoyment of the game is invalid? And I'M the selfish one for wanting content to stay as it is? Unbelievable.
You can turn the buff off. There you go. There's your challenge. The Echo isn't mandatory, and if you cant put forth the effort to find your own party where everyone shares your ideals, a static even, then I honestly can't say you're trying your best.There are people out there like you, you can find them and you can challenge whatever the hell you want at your own difficulty. Whatever that means to you. You can even go in with full DL for the full experience.

Also if you really did join a month ago, the content you've done isn't the same level of difficulty or challenge as it once was.

Quite a bit has been nerfed to hell and back. I don't know how long ago the Moogle Mog fight was but has since been nerfed since 2.1
Someone just joining during 2.2 wouldn't fucking know the difference.
