You would only know this in hindsight, because my exchanges with you have been under my registered main. If every post I made in this thread prior to our exchange was done under my alt-registered character, you'd have no clue if I've done endgame or not. You'd only have the assumption I haven't because all you'd see is a char that's not lvl 80. That's why just going off registered char is flawed. At least Iscah made their case using the OP's post history, which is a comparatively better metric.

With that said, not every criticism about XIV endgame requires you to experience endgame first hand. I don't have to know how to bake a cake to see that a muffin is simple compared to a wedding cake. Same way I don't have to personally Hero's Gauntlet when, from observation, the dungeon design follows the same formula as the very first dungeon in the game. Now if I comment on Hero's difficulty without having experienced it then that would be another story.
