8 man endgame content should go back to the 2.x method (no baby mode) Hear me out...

I think a lot of these players who want the game harder have no problem at all seeing the playerbase slashed.

That's not true, even harcore players don't wan't the game to become too hard because they know all players don't have the time for that.
The biggest problem in this game imo is endgame content becoming braindead as time goes on. Some stormblood raids became easier and my best memories come always from difficulties i had to overcome (and i was a casual at the time now i'm midcore). It's more fun than just destroy what shows up and take the loot. I don't have any good memories doing e1 to e12 other than the 1srt time.
Even casuals can enjoy some good difficulty. A lot of them didnt have any problem when stormblood raid were harder etc

I am casual and Shiva gave me more trouble then any boss in Omega ever did. Difficulty is all personal opinion whats hard to one person is a snooze fest to another. I remeber people 2 weeks after Nidhoggs release complaining they still could not get past it and I beat it day one with the first group I joined.

Alexander Raid A3S/A4S A6S-(Pre nerf), A8S. A3S was a brutal fight and A4S was beyond dumb for how it worked. A6S before nerf was kinda brutal, A8S was a fight that almost rival an Ultimate, or just about. I play hardcore atm and I really don't want the fight to have really trash mechanics. Ultimate is an exception because it's fair.

I honestly kind of wish they would at least add more interesting aspects to jobs other than new shiny nuke damage buttons.

With ranged support being nonexistent, tank aggro management being nonexistent, healers only having 1 button and dps aggro management tools like diversion being gone it feels like the only thing there ever is to do is just mindlessly burn the boss down and maybe mitigate damage, but even mitigating isn't very meaningful.

Call me weird but I preferred when fights were more uncertain and less scripted dpsfests, and you could do something at least a bit meaningful like ripping boss aggro from the tank because you're killing your rotation, or using refresh so that freshly rezzed healer can get back on their feet and back to keeping the party alive a little quicker.

Heck being able to choose between more healing or more dps with Eos/Selene was interesting in a way since you could use Selene in fights where you felt more confident in your healing

Granted I am in favor of harder lockouts for MSQ, but the reality is todays gaming climate would not welcome such a change. It it cause people to leave the game which is bad for everyone.

YouTube exists. You better believe I'll be monitoring it for the 5.45 Bozja story, since there zero chance I'm ever setting foot in there.
Why would Lore only revealed in Savage be any different? [Yes, I've seen what Gaia does in E12S too, and Ryne's Hraesvalgr "outfit".]

Because if you start needing to get even more lore from youtube than playing the game then people realize that youtube is free and the game isn't.

As I've said, I think there are a lot of people who believe they are good who would like to see the game population cleaved of a lot of the bads.

[Puremallace]

uhhhh Youtube still exist and if you lock lore behind content I literally care less about in FF14 I still will not do it lol

[Styrmwyda]

No, just no.
