Question about the "stats squish"

[Rokke]

The game also has a lot of new players around expansion releases, which has an obvious effect on the perceived difficulty of content.

In addition to general new players, theres a lot of folks that are trying out healing for the first time with the new job and with its higher starting level they can jump into content where one would usually expect a healer to already have their bearings. Pretty much every raid sans syrcus tower feels harder because they've been flooded with inexperienced sages since early access lol
