Except I can. I think everyone here can agree that gaining levels in FFXIV is cakewalk and most dungeon runs are as well. This leads to a "Player expectation" of everything in the game being "Fast and Easy". Even I myself, who knows this gets annoyed when a run doesn't go as fast and easy as it usually does but I can't blame myself solely due to the fact that the game has shown me that things should be "Fast and Easy" up to this point.

So it boils down to a 50/50 blame. it's half SE's fault for making the game "easy mode" just about everywhere and its the players fault for "expecting" everything to be "easy mode".
