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

Time is not the only metric. If an encounter is fun I don't want it to end as fast. Brutal efficiency doesn't always win. How would you categorise housing and glam then? Not everyone plays like a robot.

I mean, housing is just masochism at this point. Good luck even getting one. And glamour.. well, we all know that's the true endgame. I don't know that I've ever seen a glamour (or mount, for that matter) farm party interested in taking the fights slow and easy, though.

I agree that not everything needs to be subject to absolute efficiency, but the majority of people queueing for roulettes aren't there because we find the encounters fun. Most of us just want it over with. My own solution was to just always queue for them as WAR (unless a friendly healer is queueing with me, in which case I'll run DRK or GNB for the higher overall DPS), thereby removing the need for a healer almost entirely. This frees the healer up to spam their 1 key with maximum efficiency while I keep myself and all of the DPS alive. WAR's damage is a wee bit gimped, but its kit is uniquely well suited to compensating for other people's screw-ups in casual content.
