Difficulty of normal content.

[Deslyxic]

This is the "new Final Fantasy XIV". Because the reviews and the story are so bad, the only people who are buying Dawntrail are those who want to play the endgame content. FFXIV is no longer for general audiences, it's for those who've already mastered the content and want harder content. So all of the elitists have come out of the woodwork now that they finally feel it's safe to do so, and are spilling vitriol everywhere. I've even seen your post referenced in game, without anyone prompting it. They're so overjoyed that they have an expansion "just for them" and they want to make sure that no one else can ruin "their moment".

Until we get massive edits to the Dawntrail MSQ or a new starting point for new players, this is how FFXIV is going to be from now on. Odd how WoW is going to be the MMO for general audiences again for the first time in 20 years.

Yeah, that sucks. I've haven't been approach in game as of yet. But even after being lambasted by posters, ridiculed by 3 mayor content creators and some smaller too, raided by 4chan and reddit, I am still here and I still believe that my opinions are fair and sensible. I stand by everything I wrote.

I respect your opinion, but the majority of players enjoy the new difficulty. Content, even normal content, is meant to be semi-challenging. You are meant to mess up mechanics and die and yes, sometimes even wipe. That is what makes the game interesting to a majority of players, the fact that it engages them.

I'm sorry you find that frustrating, but you are in the minority and that's just how it is. You have the right to ask for more easy content, and everyone else has the right to disagree with you. I'd recommend if you want to enjoy this new content, since more than likely they are going to stick to this level of difficulty that the majority of the playerbase enjoys, that you move past your frustrations. If you get better at doing this content, you won't have any reason to complain. You might even find that you enjoy the sense of accomplishment.
