MSQ Difficulty and Exclusion

[Jojoya]

I feel like we already have a good bridge with the quality video guides that are out there. Unfortunately, people don't want to do a little studying beforehand.

You can hand a novice piano player the sheet music for a complicated piano piece to study. They still aren't going to be able to play it because they haven't developed the skill.

Guides aren't bridges because they don't provide a place to practice the intermediate skills that need to be mastered.

I think what people are practically saying when they say they want MSQ content to be harder is not that we want light rampart or limit cut in MSQ, but just everything should hurt a bit more and healing to be more demanding.

There's a point when skill caps are reached and a player will not be able to perform any better than they already are. Increasing the skill cap for MSQ would prevent players who have reached their cap from continuing with the rest of the game even though they never had intent to participate in EX/Savage/Ultimate.

Or were you expecting the players who are demanding that the content be more difficult to carry those players through that content?

That is why the higher difficulty content gets added as side content. So players of varying skill levels can enjoy the story content while players looking for greater challenge can get that through the side content.

At a time when SE is improving accessibility to the MSQ for players who have issues with group content, do you honestly believe they're going to increase skill cap on the MSQ?
