Euphrosyne feels a bit lacking

[Araxes]

Welcome to the FFXIV of 2023

Things have been becoming easier for a long time now. Only hard thing was savage and ultimates wich many are now just clearing using third party software.
Crafting was super hard and a big chore once. Now you press a macro.
PvP was super hard once with ADDITIONAL skills on top of ALL your PvE skills. Now you have 10 buttons.

The Soul of FFXIV is slowly getting sucked out and people are finally realizing it.

Crafting was never really hard. Just monotonous. You still used macros, even when it was "hardest". It just was a bigger pain to meld for stats, because materia was harder to obtain.



PvP was never "hard", just in a game not built with it in mind.



Fights have gotten somewhat easier yes, but we also have years of experience now.



This savage tier has been one of the harder ones. Sure top groups cleared quick, but they always do.
