February 5th Announcement, Realistic Expectations Thread

[Aniya_Estlihn]

The casual content raids and trials have been getting increasingly difficult to the point that is no longer casual but savage lite.

No? Not at all. The game was dumbed down to the point where the only real difficult content is Savage and Ultimate, and even that isn't saying much.
It amazes me how the game is honestly the easiest it has ever been and people still claim that it's getting more difficult. Come on now.

Fight design this expansion does assume that you know the bare minimum of mechanics introduced up to this point. Stacks, soaks, pairs, not standing in the obviously telegraphed AoEs, taking tethers, etc., but those are the basics that everyone should know. If that is difficult, I fear this may not be the game for those who continue to struggle with these things this far into the game.
