Issue With End Game Raiding

[Ibi]

The 4/8/24 lockdown is but a symptom.

No flexibility in itemization plus a pathological fear of imbalance means a every piece of content requires a strict DPS assembly line quota. Different BGM will play, different colored lights and floating markers will flash, but you are ultimately doing a familiar dance. We will never see Salvage, Dynamis, Limbus or any content with logistical complexity until the itemization moves away from bigger numbers on the same stats.

Once the itemization becomes more diverse, the content will follow suit.

You're vastly overselling the importance of gear in Salvage, Dynamis, and Limbus.

You could have cleared all three events in groups equipped with nothing beyond the sets you could purchase with assault points (Amir, Pahluwan, and Yigit sets), and items of equivalent stat complexity in your other equipment slots, and those have no more variety in terms of stats than what we're getting in FFXIV.

I think you're also overselling the complexity of the events.

Outside of their final bosses, Limbus and Dynamis especially were very simplistic in nature. Most or all of FFXIV's 24-man raid bosses could rival the Dynamis bosses, with the potential exception of the Shadow Lord, in terms of complexity. Heck, even four-man leveling dungeons are more complex than 95% of Dynamis.
