I think they need to somehow address players at level 80+ spamming actions they learn at level 15 and below, before they try to “condense” anything else.

The game is already drastically more brain dead and easy at level 80, it doesn’t need to get any easier at lower levels just because you want to queue content you don’t actually want to do.

What they absolutely need to focus on is making low level content more difficult and engaging. Buffing jobs even more, or giving players access to harder hitting skills clearly isn’t and hasn’t been the answer.

People likely don’t make it post 2.0 because the game is extremely repetitive and is insanely trivial. Almost all the way until current expansion savage....
