Why are Criterion dungeons so hard?

Outside of the rewards, the fights are perfect.

The real problem is XIV's regular content is so easy that even casual players seem to want more of a challenge, but just not as much as they gave in Criterion. Which is a problem with the content outside of criterion more than it is inside.

I can understand that people who don't raid savage and are not used to that difficulty will struggle, a lot, with criteon dungeon. I mean, some people are so incredibly bad that they die in normal dungeons, but there is a also another factor, do you want to invest the time to learn the bosses? depending on how fast you learn, it can take 2-4 hours or more to learn just one boss, and then there is also an enrage timer.

I am not complaining, but if you don't watch a guide it is really difficult to understand what the bosses do sometimes or how to solve the puzzles.
