Ive had friends quit because the game is mind numbing easy.

And this is not by design. They didnt do this to cater to everyone. It was unintentional side effect on changing dps of healers and tanks for shadowbringers. Whats making the game too easy is that tanks and healers do good damage now when in the past it was more traditional. I definitely welcome this change but its made playing the game too boring. When I first showed a friend the game when we got to ifrit normal he was like "man ive never fought a boss like that in an mmo. Felt more like a real boss from another game. I wamt to queue up again." Now recently I showed another friend and at the end of the ifrit fight he was like "thats it? That sucked."

I understand having story mode to be easy difficulty but what we got now isnt easy, its stupid.
