I feel you, I see you. I understand that mechanics can be harder to learn for people! If you’re struggling, or anyone really, is struggling to go through msq with trusts, I recommend going as a tank! You can step in most aoes and so long as your spread your dmg mitigations, you will not die to your accumulating vuln stacks.

I’ve had a friend with crippling anxiety and was frustrated with how much this games expects you to be. I don’t think it’s hard at all, but there is a large population of first time mmo players and gamers enjoying this game. I don’t think it’s right asking for optional content, which is designed to weave people into the harder content to be made easier. Fundamentally I think that’ll leave a wider gap of knowledge/expectations to transition into harder stuff. There are casual friendly optional systems to engage with however, try crafting, gathering, housing (apartments because the lotto is suffering), gold saucer, exc! If it’s combat you’re craving, Fates are good, bozja/eureka can be fun as well. If you wait until 7.05-7.1, treasure maps will have their dungeons unlocked, but I am expecting the difficulty might be more reflective of current stuff.
