The Devs apparently learned very little from the bad aspects of Eureka.

While I agree with you completely, I'd like to bring up XIV being very poor in terms of socialization. To focus on American and EU worlds, there is no incentive to actually talk with anyone. And many players just accept FC invites because they don't know what they mean nor care because of the buffs.

This game's difficulty is usually scaled for the lowest common denominator. And as such, you can clear any content as long as your party carries you or you are able to press 1-2-3. No more than that.

That said, it actually is a nightmare for some people because they got all the way to Shadowbringers (assuming no jump potions) and actually have to treat the game like a real MMO instead of a single player game with other people in the same area.

Hate to be that guy, but this content isn't for this games lowest common denominator unless they’re willing to adapt. Yoshida straight up said the 1v1 engagements are for people who’re battle content oriented. Kinda like a solo ultimate fight. So unless you’ve had prior battle experience or grow into it, are willing to participate, and are willing to work with your fellow adventurers you probably aren’t going to be picked for 1v1 engagements or critical engagements. In my opinion this is fine. Not all content needs to cater to everyone.

According to some forum threads, people think it should.

And this isn't my opinion btw, it's just how the community is sometimes.

It wouldn't be the first time he talked a good game in regards to difficulty, only to have something turn out to be pretty easy. Considering it apparently chooses a random person based on unknown prerequisites I can't imagine it being Ultimate levels of difficulty. I'd bet that it's normal raid difficulty at most.
