how many driving lessons you need though before you being able to drive a car on your own ? eh?
It may sicken you Ispano but it doesnt any less make it a reality eh?...you assume that people are bad, without knowing, you assume they dont awnt to put forth the effort without knowing if they actually factually dont do the best they can with what they know and have .. you generalize and overall represent why this game is going downhill...the silliness isnt in those that fail but in those that believe they are some superior entitiy that can look down on others based on what they believe reality should be like (virtual reality that is). Now I have met genuine nice players and I was able to improve thanks to them but they so far and in between that it makes them a rare thing.. and when it happens is such a pleasure to work with them and play the game.
Besides, in a group there are others 7 players with you...some events you can control others you cant...I would recomment humility when playing in a group oh wait, what am I thinking humility...wht a silyl word (irony)

it depends on people.
there are "naturals" , and there are slow learner.
that is the distinction between the so-called "elitist" and the "casual player" ( kind of.)
then again, based on this example, I've seen people failing their driving license lots and lots of times.
because they don't want to put effort in it.

No, YOU'RE the one assuming people are bad. With things like "they might learn slower than you" That's basically saying that some people aren't as good. I do NOT think that way. I feel that everyone, outside of obvious exceptions(mental conditions and many other things) CAN do better than they do most of the time. We're all humans, and while we do have differences, we all have pretty much the same capacity to learn. I say what I do about not wanting to put in the effort because I SEE it. People literally say it's "too much like a job" "it's too much work" "I don't want to work that hard, it's just a game"how many driving lessons you need though before you being able to drive a car on your own ? eh?

So, no, YOUR view is the one putting people down and assuming they're bad automatically. I assume they CAN do better, and if they don't within a reasonable amount of attempts, they don't want to try. If you see a mechanic is killing you. Or if someone points it out to you. You should not be dying to that same mechanic 10, 20 or more attempts after that. And, yet, people are.
So, again, Almost everyone has the ability to learn quickly and the like. They choose not to. And if they choose not to put in the effort for a given piece of content, they should not be there. Nor should they expect drastic nerfs either.
One last thing, a big part of learning is KNOWING your weaknesses in that regard and compensating for them. Many people don't even look at that however, they feel they're plenty good enough. Good players rarely think they are good enough. They always feel they could be doing better, doing more and such. There's even a study about this mentality. It may just be a study, but it fits really well.

Indeed. I know someone on my server who cannot use one side of his body. So he can only play with one hand. Yet he does better than many others who CAN use both hands, because he puts for the effort to play well and compensate for it.Yeah Ispano, I do agree there, about not wanting to learn! Very good points you brought up, it is true, some people just don't wish to, and feel some of the harder content is impossible for them, or just don't enjoy it. And I do agree that there's a difference between people who refuse to learn, and others who do wish to yet find it harder than most (can see why someone might find that insulting as well). I just object to people on both sides of the fence giving others a hard time, stop bickering and get playing!

you are kind of doing the same thing.
you generalize based on what you probably have seen while playing.
If I'm running a dungeon and a scholar doesn't use Protect&Stoneskin because "I don't have it"
if I'm running a dungeon and a whm NEVER uses Esuna or don't raises people because "there's the shortcut, use it"
if a dps completely ignores the aggro bar and spam AoEs and attacks ignoring completely the tank
if a tank takes ALL the AoEs from a boss, or can't keep aggro
then yes.
you are bad at what you are doing. and you are a bad player.
and I'm not talking about Sastasha/Tam-Tara or Halatali easy mode.

You're right, one can never know what's going on, but if that person doesn't communicate at ALL or even try, or cuss you out... what can you do? Some people really really don't want to learn, they even turn off chat!! *raaaage* LOL they just wanna play like they're on their tod like they're not with anyone else, which is fine if you're solo but if you're in a team.... Which is kind of sucky for other people in the team I should imagine. This is why I don't think Ispano was generalising at all, I've seen it happen, and when I've tried to teach people myself, using auto-translate, in /s, /p cha, and still get ignored.. but yes, you quite correct that each situation is situational, and one shouldn't judge. But what would you do in a situation like that? When even emoting gets no response at all?
Takes me aaages to learn things, what I thought I couldn't do before I can do now, and more challenging it is, the better cos it makes me a better healer and I love that <3 anyways feel like this thread is getting derailed D: Endgame content should stay as it is... anyways some things will probably get nerfed at a later date because of expansions!
Between Echo, iLevel 100-110 items and youtube video describing every fight, if they intend to nerf content even further, they may as well just add an "I win button" and save people time. Because, really.
And you mention Mog Exe. It's arguably the easier primal, you can actually win it without any training since he doesn't have many 1HK moves and doesn't rely on dodging too much.
Making T5 more of a handout than it already is will just make T6+ more of a shocker to new people. If they have to put in zero effort to clear coil 1, they will expect to be able to put in zero effort to clear coil 2.
