This post is not for them.

I've been playing MMOs since 2000. At this point in FFXIV, I don't see a future for myself in this game. The level of gameplay skill required JUST to get through the MSQ is fast approaching the limits of my capabilities.

Bard main, i350 - & I can NOT get through The Will of the Moon (just the part where I still get to play my own class, never mind the part where I would be forced to play as another).

At what point does a dev team recognize that continually boosting 'challenge' in _required_ content will eventually drive away part of their player base? I've already quit GW2 for exactly this issue - I couldn't complete the main story quests.

Please, leave the extreme difficulty for, you know - EXTREMES (& savages). Tone down the MSQ battles & job quest battles (I'm looking at you, RDM 60 battle) that end if multiple solo deaths with no way to get help when you need it. At the very least, USE the tool YOU built into the game, the Echo, & allow us to have it in these instanced fights!

P.S. You should also add an 'Other' option to the account cancellation process where we could enter the actual reasons instead of the ones you've selected for us in the preset list - in my case, 'game difficulty too hard to be fun'.
Will of the moon is not even close to "hard". Heal yourself, put your NPC in focus target, kill his add first, don't place AOE's on the NPC's head and when the things spawn that you have to destroy, destroy the one where your NPC is standing in. The fight before is also pretty easy if you know what you have to focus: adds > boss!
