the normal content is too easy

[Ronduwil]

Except nobody is asking for FFXIV to be "hardcore" focused.

Except for the OP:

People play games to enjoy mental stimulation, and when every single mechanic is telegraphed, repetitive, and predictable, the content becomes very linear and boring.

He's decided that we all want untelegraphed and unpredictable mechanics. You can move goalposts around and claim that this is casual play, but many casual players feel otherwise. That's what this entire thread is about.

Seriously we need an official copy paste for people who keep thinking this is what people are asking for. It’s not. You are confused.

How could he not be confused when the OP literally said that we should make the mechanics in normal content untelegraphed and unpredictable? On top of that we have 10 pages of players defending that position while simultaneously claiming that they're not trying to make the game more hardcore. And you wonder why we're confused.
