(Spoilers) Why are dungeons so under-tuned when...

[ssunny2008]

That's weird, since it's one of the major elements repeatedly cited by all the WoW gameplay-centric raider folks who come over, how much they love the gameplay.

I´ve friends in some other MMORPG´s, even WoW. They´ve tried this game in it´s free trial and none of them got warm with it. "Too slow, not engaging etc."
I highly doubt that even half of the guys you claim are here for the gameplay. It´s just one of the last trinity MMORPG´s with great graphics. The other half will notice soon, that the gameplay is highly repetitive and homogenized. Imo "it´s just something new" and still not a proof, that FF14 does a better job than others. It doesn´t.

If you think the last seven MSQ trials we've gotten are easier than the ones in ARR, HW, SB (original Shinryu notwithstanding)... I dunno what to tell you. Four of them have hard chokepoints that regularly wipe bad pugs to this very day.

What hard chokepoints?

Why should bad players actually be able to finish content? Does it make sense?

Just yesterday i dropped in the level 89 primal via mentorroulette as tank. Both tanks left before. I asked them to start and the guys "Nono, we miss a tank." I´ve been like "I can solotank this and it´s better to practice than afking around."
I started the fight and those guys died to pretty much everything again and again until we finally wiped in phase 2. Then i started to explain the fight. We started again, things worked way better than before, meanwhile a 2nd tank joined, who had no clue too. We wiped again around 50% in the 2nd phase. The other tank left immediately. So i started a 3rd pull and have written down everything in chat as fast as i could like "In, out, spread after, etc..." And hurray, we finished the fight.

So far 1 guy has carried 6 other ppl even without a 2nd tank through multiple double-stack tankbusters. The fights aren´t hard, they´re easy af. The most ppl are just not able to check the mechanics properly. Either because they run blind through the game or are just not smart enough. And while the game doesn´t force anything from the players, of course the most suck and stuck on their easy button and echo in any possible content. I can just repeat it, this game has become a mess gameplay-wise.

And i still see poeple wiping or dieing at any MSQ trial even with overtuned stats thx to a broken downsync. Lately my gf stucked in Titan or Ifrit? normal for half an hour. And she is definately not a bad player, but there isn´t much carry-potential if you´re not a healer or tank. New fights are definately easier thx to all the stats and tools we´ve, combined with everything telegraphed and mostly just "move to A, move to B, stack , spread" stuff.

No one cares about one-true-way "GAMER" rhetoric.

Oh a lot of poeple do care since gaming has become a mess thx to all the willing paypigs and their low efford trash behind animations.
