Would you improve if the content required it?

I always improve when the content requires it, I don't really play ffxiv to roll my face on my keyboard.

This sums up my opinion on the subject. While i understant the MSQ needs to be more or less easy to be done in fast and get in the new areas, we should be able some kind of mid-term challengue between the average dificulty of the duties and Extreme. One example i like to give to my friends about the matter it's Vishap. While i understand the nerf, having an expansion gated after the trial, i quite enjoyed it while it lasted. It required a simple combination of talking with your teammates and cooperation, nothing else.

I am a casual, i play what i can a bit a week because of my situation right now and i enjoy a relaxed gameplay like any other (Also due to the lack of time i cant do Extreme, nor that i have a static to stick with). But if the game demands me to improve, i will gadly do it (and help others if i have the opportunity to do so). I am not paying AND playing a game to be carried over a field of flowers like a little kid.

Last Steps of Faith is a great example. The fight is wonderfully mechanically complex, but going in with randoms is extremely daunting.

This.

We need more content like this one, out of the MSQ so it doesnt hinder the advance of the story.
