Main scenario dungeons are too much overwhelming

[Rathalos143]

Well you could always go put your AF back on, that way you would be on level or close to it again. That way it doesn't seem like a /faceroll?

But if the rest of the party is always full geared, it does not matter at all. Isn't really easier to just sync the items same way it works on Wanderer's Palace or Haukke Manor hard? or I don´t know, buff a bit the bosses to penalty people who just zerg it like no end. What's the point on passing the (in teory) Raid training to endgame if there is not more than a FATE zerg?

Ok, I know that these dungeons are a good place to farm but seriously. How it is possible than Castrum Meridianum's stupids waves of adds were harder than the fucking bosses of The Praetorium? It´s not the cutscenes of what i'm talking about, is the matter than there is no item level sync. Come on, The Praetorium is the fucking CLIMAX of the main scenario quest lines (and you cant enjoy it well. Because there is no stupid chains like trials have, and some people just stay out of the boss's area because they cant skip it the first time they see them and the farmer godlikespr player speedruners have autoskip cutscenes enabled while it loads for the new players) but really, I was punched away on the Nero Tol Scaeva fight to the lightning field and I came out of it with my hp bar full filled because stoneskin and op heals (to the i-level of the dungeon). Even the damn Ultima Weapon died on 2 minutes.
Really, this is just underwhelming for a new player.
PS: Yes, the title says the opposite I want to tell.

Hate to say it, but you need to get used to it. In every MMO, old story content is easily outclassed as time passes. Have you ever done the last story quest for the main story of FFXI before working on the expansions? It's piss easy with the higher level cap and skills. This is to be expected, because companies expect for newer players to get done with the older content faster so they can catch up. Even if they synced the ilvl to i90, we'd STILL burn through the bosses like they're trash, because they were just that easy to begin with.

Silly OP, just pay 100k gil each to 7 other peeps wearing their respective AF1 / DL and run ur silly CM/Prae to "experience" the 2.0. As for ur nonsensical drama, (LOOKING at SERVER)

I hope they don't make the final in the expansion a solo... But what I do want is something that will be a challange. Not to much but something that people actually need to work on and not just faceroll.

The problem with those two dungeons is that there are people who have run them hundreds of times. They used to be farming dungeons in ye days of old though not really anymore they are still dungeons good for getting bonus tomes if you need those ones but after running it so many times you become happy when a run takes about 10 mins because you have seen everything so many times. It's the same as the cutscene argument nobody who has seen them 100 times wants to watch them all again. There is a lot more content at endgame for you to do some of it very epic and fun so the main storyline will be the least of your worries. Best thing to do is get it over with quick and move on to other better stuff with more satisfying challenge including Ultima HM for the real Ultima fight.

Let's go back 1 year. The other 7/8 players will be yelling at you and harassing you nonstop to skip CS. They will lock you out of all boss fights since you're too slow and then they will ask if you're enjoying the view. At the end they'll say something about ruining their philo farming. I'd say things have improved a little since then.
