Why do casuals act as if it's the end of the world when suggesting?

[OM3GA-Z3RO]

God forbid when you suggest they should make content just a little bit more difficult, you get people that flip out.

Every casual that sees this behave as if their whole world is crumbling and they take that statement and exaggerate it reading it like: "All content needs to be Extreme/Savage Difficulty! Screw all the Casuals! Cater to the small minority! HOO-RAH!"

I mean, just chill. There is just no in between with these people, they just think there is only braindead easy and elite hardcore difficult, nothing in the middle. Dungeons are braindead easy you can clear it with just using your 1-2-3 buttons and a healbot, sure it will take longer but it is still possible.

"Nawt Mah Final Fantasy: Second Life Gaem!"

just remember the devs need to cater to all play styles. There will always be more casual content then higher end stuff because there are more casual players. High end players get extremes savages and ultimate.

Its ok to want more. but i think its better to keep that convo to other like minded players so you or others dont get stressed out over anything that isnt to major of an issue

just remember the devs need to cater to all play styles. There will always be more casual content then higher end stuff because there are more casual players. High end players get extremes savages and ultimate.

Meanwhile, high end players can get no significant joy of challenge out of:

• Any light party content.
• Any open world content.
• Alliance raids.
• Any large-zone side-content.

Anyone who wants some sort of challenge is offered only those three flavors of 8-man beat-a-cylinder-to-death-while-moving-to-the-right-places-at-the-right-time fights in perfectly circular or rectangular rooms. That's literally all they get.

If the devs need to cater to all play styles, why the heck is there no real midcore experience? Why is there only barrel's-bottom difficulty available to light party play? Why do all hard modes (Extremes, Savage, Ultimate, etc.) have an easy mode, but none of the other types have any hard mode?

It's quite a major issue when entire swaths of content like dungeons take zero effort to do and are rarely actually fun. Most trials and alliance raids as well. This is an MMO not a phone gacha game

Sounds more like you’re the one who needs to chill if something this incredibly minor is making you upset.

So the OP wanting to have content be slightly more challenging, is a "Minor Thing." Seems to me, you fit the type of casual that the OP is describing, no offense.

I see the point of my statement went clear over your head.

You are actually right, he fits perfectly the type of casual the OP is describing. I went on and did some "research" (IYKWIM) on his character and boom, like clockwork.

I see you were incapable of getting the actual point of my statement too. Not surprising really.

But since you seem to know so much about me, care to point out any instance where I’ve ever made any argument for or against the difficulty of the game or complained about things being too hard? I’ll wait.

Actually, I also have to say that your coyness about your “research” is hilarious when it’s blindingly obvious you just went and looked my character up on Lodestone. Is this supposed to be a big secret or something?
