That is just common sense. Obviously everyone learns at a different pace, so it might be somewhat difficult for some to catch on to, but it isn't an impossible task. I have seen many raids come back from a near wipe in this game, mostly because there is a lot of forgiveness in the design. Someone dies? Healers can get them back up. Got a RDM? They can resurrect 2 players in a matter of seconds. The normal modes in this game provide a lot of room for trial and error, even to the brink of a full wipe, but can still be recovered. Eden's Promise...even more so. Again, it's the easiest normal tier in recent and not so recent memory. But sure, I guess I'm an elitist because I view things objectively.
Your literal argument was ‘I don’t find this hard so it’s easy and everyone can do it’.

That’s a weak argument. I also played wow and raided at a high level weekly. I often die here because a boss will do a random knockback off a ledge which you simply don’t remember if you don’t do it regularly enough without fail.

There is no ‘getting better’ in FFXIV. Simply you just have to remember what mechanics happen and when. It’s why anyone who tries it enough can clear savage and most people who try a boss for the first time die. Too many silly mechanics.

However your argument has changed and you’re now talking about healers and RDM ressing. To which yeah I’d agree with you. There’s less wipes in this tier than in previous ones. Still too many cheap deaths though.
