Escalating skill requirements & FFXIV future

The answer to your problem is The Echo.

In that, YOUR incapability should be given an option to clear if you fail (Echo buffs from repeating the trial 5+ times), not the other way around (gimping content entirely). If you fail 5 times in a row, you should just be buffed to the point where you'll survive eating every single AoE. This way, people who enjoy the harder content will feel satisfied clearing it on the first attempt and those who want an easier fight can still clear via repeated attempts.

The alternative of making content easier is not the solution and not a positive direction for the game to go in the long run.

edit: Or SE can add "Story mode" and "Warrior of Light mode" to all solo instances so you dont have to waste the time failing.
