Eureka wasn't so bad, but endgame in ffxiv is lacking without eureka

I don't think oneshot mechanics that rely on 8 people making 0 mistakes are good game design, or fun gameplay wise, especially with randoms. Sure you can use that kind of mechanic occasionally, but I prefer stuff like E2S where you still have personal responsibility, but you don't insta wipe the whole thing when you make a mistake. You will eventually hit enrage if too many mistakes happen, sure, but the mood in parties in that kind of content is usually a lot better than in parties that insta wiped for the 20th time in a row bc someone fked up some mechanic.

No it's a learning curve and it's not 8 people it's 56 people counting support. One needs to start with frag runs, then do progression and then move on to clears. It's not really that hard if one gets Eureka gear, updates it and then does the clear as intended. For those and I know there are some who would love to be carried by either sniping or joining runs they're not qualified for but that's hard to do that with mechanics that matter.

If someone drops a meteor in the middle of a group well chances are that run is destined to fail at the final boss.

I have a number of clears with different alts both on Aether and Crystal. I know the process and for me it is something that was a lot of fun. Savage doesn't interest me in the least.

The discords did a pretty good job in my opinion although matchmaking should be something that should be done in game.
