Difficulty of normal content.

[holydiver1286]

This thread should be closed. OP said P2N when asked which content is too hard. If you have a semi functioning brain and at least one hand you can clear that fight, probably even blindfolded, as it's a sleep simulator of a fight. Good job on the bait though OP. Congrats on getting over 100 pages.

I did check all three videos, they didn't raised any point that was already posted here a dozen times. Or maybe the posters here are parroting the videos? What came first? the streamer or the simp? We will never know.
All I know I was used for rage bait, and people took the bait and asked for seconds.

we can all think for ourselves and come to the same effing conclusion, it only sounds like a "hivemind" in here because you had a bad take and people are voicing their opinions against you. your just a toll at this point looking for attention. we all gave you ideas on how you can improve and what may or may not help you, basically writing you a guide on how to improve. but you don't want to hear from us, you just want SE to change it just for you, out of nearly 30 million players around the world why should they listen to you when its a brain dead take and the majority that has posted are against your ideas.

i said previously i was making my last post in here but i have been keeping my eye in here from time to time. i came back because this was a painfully low IQ comment. you don't know who any of us IRL you don't get to place us in a lump and say we are simply simps who follow streamers. did your post pop the eff off due to the coverage? ofc it did but i have read every post in here (the mad lass that i am) and i cant for the life of me find an overwhelming amount of people who are simply here to clown on you (like 5 max, with one sentence or less or thereabouts) because of a streamer making a video. they came and made fair points against you and some for you. but you just sum it all up to being "must be streamer simps and trolls", again you don't know any of us and nor do any of us know who you are. i don't care about you, your personality, what you do after work/school. i care about the sufferingly bad take on normal RAID content you made on a public forum on a game i adore and will do for many more years. take the Final L and let the post die and fade into obscurity, just like your incompetent opinion on the game.

No, I genuinely think the normal content is too hard for normal. I stand by what I wrote.

Please, get a party together and run T9 MINE, A11 MINE and E6 MINE. These are all normal raids. Try those, but don't use guides (you didn't have them for Arcadion normal, did you?), then try Arcadion again. Let us know how that goes. c: Bonus points if you try doing Pharos Sirius MINE.

T9 MINE, A11 MINE and E6 MINE.

Call me an idiot, but I've never heard of this before, what do you mean by "MINE"?

MINE= Minimum Item Level No Echo

Ah, thanks.

I'm a huge fromsoft fan and seeing people complain about the DLC difficulty really annoyed me. I bought the game because I wanted to be challenged and the game marketed itself as a challenge. To be honest, I think it's a little too easy.

So yeah I'm a hardcore elitist gamer. I want sweaty palms.

I don't think FFXIV players need to be like that. Default endgame content should be approachable to everyone. Let them play the game they paid for with their own money. If you're like me you'll get what you want with the hardmodes.

Calling endgame content "optional" is disingenuous. If someone is hitting the DT level cap they are more than likely expecting to engage with the endgame. They don't have to be "good" at the game. That doesn't matter because they're fans too and they are allowed to have expectations and voice complaints.

Why take a stand on default content as a hardcore player? Just let people enjoy it and look forward to the harder modes that are tuned with you in mind. Not everything has to be made for you and players who just want to chill deserve content as well. It's perfectly reasonable for anyone to expect to be able to experience the default dungeons.

somehow YOU more than everybody else knows what the devs were intending to do

You don't know what the devs read.

The below summarizes the vast majority of the posts in this thread:

I think you missed the point. A large amount of the players who voiced their opinion AREN'T hardcore raiders myself included, the hardcore raiders make up a small amount of the playerbase

needless citation of the ToS

If you put as much effort in to improving and trying to be better as you have put so far creating wild conspiracy theories and researching the ToS then you wouldn't be having any issues. Clearly time isn't a problem for you, because you keep spending a bunch of time and effort into belaboring this point. Why do you not put that same effort into being better? I can't imagine it is fun to be struggling this much, surely if anyone stands to benefit from putting that time in it is you. It isn't a lot. People have been offering a ton of constructive criticism and people have even made new threads to offer some fundamental advice that may help resolve things.

At this point, it just feels like you want to be upset. I really think you need to consider taking a step back from the topic for a day or two, because you genuinely seem to be spiralling a bit. You have every right to be heard, just as we have every right to disagree, but right now, it genuinely feels like this is being unhealthy for you. I mean this in complete sincerity. I am not trying to make some kind of backhanded insult or anything like that. I can tell you are on edge, so I just wanted to make that clear.
