Please re-evaluate the difficulty of previous endgame content on the DF

Yeah this game really isn't that hard. For the most part, each individual class is not really that difficult to play, and most of the game's difficulty lies within the game mechanics.

But these mechanics aren't extremely difficult either. You just have to see them a couple times and focus. I don't believe that a person who is genuinely trying to improve their game will wipe to the same mechanics over and over. It's not hard to move over a bit during a twister cast. You just need to know when its coming and focus, which neither things are hard to do. Study the fight when you aren't playing. DF it for practice, but if you genuinely put the effort into learning the fights then you really shouldn't be wiping 20+ times to the same mechanics unless you are under 12 years old or something.

There are many other games out there (DOTA, StarCraft, CounterStrike) that are much more difficult mechanically and require much more practice than FFXIV. If you put forth the effort, this game is easy. The hardest part of the game is not mastering the mechanics, it's finding 7 other people that can master it as well. I will chalk up "bad" players to having a lack of effort in mastering the mechanics/class as opposed to genuinely being unable to play this game at a high level.

Honestly, this is the same argument when students say they're "bad at math." No, you aren't. You just don't want to put the effort into learning it.
