The difficulty of Normal Content in this game needs to increase.

I kinda agree, but then I kinda disagree too.

I think you start to lose a part of the player for sure. many people play BECAUSE its easy. but I think you also start to push people into dps because right now, the community practically forces you to sprint through everything. so you start adding difficulty, then you will have tanks not wanting the pressure, and healers not wanting it either. not saying -everyone- but I would guess a fair number of current players who now, play everything because its lower effort. would either run dps or quit.

so its a pretty fine line to walk. would I like more difficulty, sure. do I assume that everyone who plays FFxiv is like me, no, I do not, at all. raise the difficulty too much and suddenly people will be complaining about carrying people. so, its kind of a two edged sword

It's already annoying enough when the tank isn't really ready to pull wall to wall, but the expectation is that they 'should', and the tank dies 5 times in a simple dungeon because people would rather kill the tank 5 times than take 3 minutes longer. Annoys the hell out of me. If you want tanks to be available for 'normal' runs, stop abusing the tanks. They WILL quit. I've seen it in too many other games.
