Also I just wanna say a couple things as a general reply to some stuff I've seen in this thread.
"But what about the new players"
No one is a new player at level 100. If you story skipped or bought a job boost, the expectation should be that you learn to play it at a level expected of the content. Asking the devs to design level 100 content as if johnny sprout who picked up the game 5 hours ago is going to do it is absurd.
"But what about disabilities"
So fun fact, I'm a disabled player. In addition to being colourblind, near sighted and developing the beginnings of a RSI, I also have this interesting thing called an attention disorder. And I know people love to weaponize attention disorders as their go to for talking about people who cant function in the slightest in this game... but my disability makes it so that I can't focus on a single thing. I can, however, focus on multiple things. That's why if you look at my history of gameplay I tend to play jobs that have a lot of things to focus on, like AST, SAM, or recently I've been enjoying VPR a lot. But the thing is all of my favourite jobs have been made easier and easier, with less to focus on then ever before. But yknow why I'm still enjoying DT a lot? Because the fights have taken that place. EW was my least favourite expansion because it was the crossroads of piss easy fights and uninteresting classes. DT, however, still has those uninteresting classes but now that the fights are engaging, I havent had as much trouble maintaining focus. Even an easy rotation becomes a bit of a challenge when you've gotta do a tricky mechanic. So if you make this contest easier for me, content, mind you, that you HAVE to do to get to the harder content you keep telling us to play... I'm going to be enjoying the game less because my disability isn't catered to. I'm not asking for my disability to be front and center in their design, but the fact that I can't engage with their content unless it gives me something to focus on (which most EW content didnt. I usually just ended up watching a video on the side) should play into people's arguments about disability, no? Weird how it doesnt. It's almost like it's not actually a real argument beyond virtue signalling.
