MSQ Difficulty and Exclusion

[Eraden]

I will say this, SE seems to really care for those of us who struggle occasionally. The new event which involves navigating a jumping puzzle, is almost impossible for me to do but SE included a bypass for players like me so that we can get the glams. My only regret is that there is an optional extra jumping puzzle to get to the very top, that does not seem to offer any reward if successfully done. It would be nice if there was a reward for that so that skilled players could get an additional reward. I have no problems with players who complete harder content, getting rewards that I will not be able to get. After all, those players earned it!

To judge from the frustrated/exasperated /shout-ing I saw in Costa del Sol when I arrived to do the event (and the cursing about jumping puzzles on my static's Discord), apparently it's almost impossible for a whole bunch of people.

Though really, this game's engine is not particularly well-suited to jumping puzzles, and I say this as someone who routinely climbs Kugane Tower and jumps down onto the lamppost while waiting in party finder. I don't think there's a jumping puzzle in this game that I haven't done, including some things that may not actually be meant to be jumping puzzles, like how to get on top of the market gate in Shirogane.

(It's possible this qualifies as a video game variant of Stockholm Syndrome, and I've just convinced myself I like jumping puzzles as a coping mechanism...)

Packet..it isnt the jumping, its the bloody camera angle. i swear half the time on that tower, thats what i was doing, trying to get the cameras focus so the above area / steps wasnt occluding what I was aiming at

My problem with some MSQ dungeons is that they are easier than the bypass you easily cleared... All I'm asking is to actually have a fail condition so 4 man dungeons can't be cleared by just 2 people. Something to heal perhaps? Something that requires 4 people to be present and not dead or afk.
