the normal content is too easy

[Rita1989]

Yes, it was faceroll even when HW was relevant. Thordan Normal has always been ridiculously easy, and has always been criticized for it. FFXIV is my first MMO, and I was a very bad player back when I started; and even I was disappointed by Thordan normal. He didn’t feel threatening at all as an expansion’s final boss.

At least they made up for that in Thordan EX.

Yeah I remember an early HW DF that basically messed up every mechanic on Thordan normal and his ult still couldn't kill the tank that was alive and they were able to just solo the rest even when he still had a decent chunk of health left.
