    Difficulty level can be very subjective. There are a lot of factors that go into it. How well geared are you? How well do you know the fight / how much practice do you have? How long have you been playing MMOs / FFXIV / games in general? What is your character's role in this content? How would your team mates answer these questions? How is the group communicating?

    It's not fair or objective to look at content you've been farming over and over, and say it's "easy." It may be easy for you right now, but the devs shouldn't be gearing their difficulty based on how it will play several months after release for someone who's already beaten it 30+ times. Titan was not "easy" the first time you went in there for your story quest.

    Not long ago, I got Sunken Temple of Qarn for dungeon roulette. Both DPS were a couple of newbies who had immense difficulty, especially on the boss who casts Doom where you have to step on the glowing tiles to dispel it. After explaining to them what they were supposed to do, they still struggled and we had a few wipes. Even on what ended up being our successful attempt, both DPS died and it was up to just me and the tank to finish off the boss. One of the DPS commented something like "You guys are amazing, I don't know how you can be so good at this." I just told him the honest truth: "No, we have practice."
