The last few solo trials in the main story need a nerf... (Lahabrea, Rhitatyn...)

Being bad at videogames isn't a disability. Get better.

Take your elitist attitude over to the Dark Souls community where it will actually be appreciated.

They don't need a nerf... People just have to stop following the advice : Only do MSQ + Blue Icon Quest for ARR.
Then you'll arrive to those solo duty with the right level and decently geared.

In fact if you do everything (Side quest, combat log + optional dungeon) you can level two job past level 50 before Westwind Cap (you can get your first level 50 between Haukke Manor and Titan) and have around 700k Gils in the pocket.

Which make those solo duty : very easy with WHM and SCH, easy with PLD and WAR, a bit challenging with MNK,DRG, NIN and SMN and challenging with BLM.

They really don't need to be nerfed at all.

I can't see handling these with my Black Mage. My archer barely survives most times. Not sure about the others since I haven't played them much (past 10-20). And I would get the party killed with my White Mage who I was leveling before I realized she was a healer!

And knowing which Blue Quests to do is tricky. The Extreme ones end up wiping a fair bit with same-level groups.

Make the "really easy" truly be "really easy".

Well, you know, they remade those two duty because everyone roll faced them when they was an 8 man content.
They wanted to make them challenging again.

But, for me, they didn't quite achieved hit. Those two fight are heavily scripted with telegraphed mechanic. you just have to pay attention a bit to avoid everything. Nothing fancy. Especially Westwind cape where the simple trick of luring him to an edge of the arena make things even more easy. (it also partially work for Lahabrea)
And i'm not an 'hardcore elistist" or anything. Seriously those fight aren't hard at all if you concentrate and pay attention.Iif you stumble here, you'll have a lot of difficulty on a lot of later MSQ fight deemed easy and trivial while they are more difficult than those two.
