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

When those players reach the end game, and jump into current tier dungeons/raids, even on normal mode, they die to mechanics like AOE Circles, because throughout the MSQ, they were never punished for standing in them.

My dear dear Dixiebell,. I have seen VETERAN players, raiders with relic weps and titles for Savage etc die to simple mechanics.............in Deltascape. I have seen veteran players forget or neglect to stack in Prae, I have seen veteran players with raid achieves wearing the wrong gear or getting their rears kicked...........in Sastasha.

So: Seriously. No. Just no.

Assuming they even do....this isnt WOW, FF 14 isnt raid or die, this isnt a raid centred game, FF 14 isnt raid do m plus pvp or GTFO There is PLENTY to do outside of instanced content.

Having 0 difficulty MSQ/casual content in the game does not promote player growth, it just causes them to sit back and lazy ride the way through the game without the need to ever learn.

i dont know WHERE you get this delusion that MSQ content isnt difficult or challenging. Those encounters DO have a very hard mode on them...or had you forgotten?..so if you wish you CAN do these on hard mode anytime you want a 'challenge"

But you did know that..didnt you.

You just chose not to mention it.

Hm?
