Difficulty of normal content.

Reddit has already raided the Dungeons forum with about 30 threads after someone posted on /r/ffxiv. People will still post in this one because they need to defend their honor against OP, who is (apparently) threatening to steal FFXIV from everyone else. People feel very insecure about "losing" FFXIV because it's so difficult to get the devs to do the right thing.

Oh I agree with SE taking a while to do the right thing. It took them what, 6 years to un-lobotomize the battle content despite constant outcry and dwindling population? I can actually understand the insecurity because if it gets reverted, for many people, it would be the final nail in the coffin.

Thank you for understanding why we care. :P
After having watched the game decay in ways that I care about for about this long, it feels like square enix is making things right, to reverse this in such a short amount of time, yes, it would be.
I have had discussion with a few discord friends right before DT came out, was something along the lines of "I feel left behind by the game, the content that used to be made for me doesn't feel like it is anymore, and everything above feels like too much of a commitment for me", I really felt stuck between two brackets of content and nothing felt made for me anymore. It does now, or at least it feels like a very big step in the right direction, and I look forward to the future now. Haven't felt excited for content outside of story in a while.
