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

Not making any at all, its a simple fact. If you cant win without cheating, you arent as skilled as you claim to be, therefore not in a position to lecture anyone else.

Lecture whom? I believe when people say "I wish MSQ was harder", the goal is to increase their own enjoyment of the game, not to lecture others. Many people in this thread have made posts in that direction.
It's not all about casual vs raiders.

You have a range to deal with, which isnt the topic here either.

IMO this is very much the topic because this could be the true solution to many problems listed in this thread.
Basically I think casual players should have their easy MSQ, some people just aren't interested in difficult content, or just aren't interested in the gameplay aspect of FFXIV and with the MSQ gating everything including content such as Island Sanctuary or DoH/DoL activities, it shouldn't be a wall for them.
But sometimes I wish I could relax and use my max level jobs on content less boring than most of what roulette content offers. Expert Dungeons like Smileton were already so ridiculously easy on release day I'm not even sure anyone ever wiped to it. I think Bozja with its slightly increased difficulty was a good compromise.

Funny thing to say when it's all the casuals who use the ERP mods. If you liked RP so much, why cant you do it without mods?

Please dont be disingenuous. Thats plainly a ridiculous take.

I dont see a worlds first RP event..do you?

So you're okay with all the casuals using ERP mods?

Nope.

They should not be using 3rd party mods at all.

Then why do you call my comment a ridiculous take when you evidently agree with it?

Cases arent parallel. I dont know how you wedge in RP with beating savage content using a specific addon that calls out mechanics for you. 1ts ridiculous. My point stands, DONT lecture us on normal content when others cant beat hard content without addons you shouldnt have.

One is not the other.

Whenever I hear "the normal content is too easy" it really sounds like "I'm too bad to do the hard content", which ends up sounding pretty damn silly. Git gud.

Of course it's the same. You are using third party programs to have a better experience than uninitiated RPers which either drop out or get forced into also using said ERP mods.
