Difficulty of normal content.

[Zakuyia]

People who say it's too hard are understandable. FFXIV has terrible difficulty curve, it doesn't teach you how to be better at the game as you play it. There are subcommunities of rpers, socializers, and plotwatchers who really only use the game as a social media platform. They aren't interested in the gameplay beyond clearing mandatory content one time ever.
The fault is on Squex/CB3, not on them for not getting good, because the game doesn't teach them how to get good.

In line with wanting glamors and such from content they can't clear, they seem to have forgotten that they are playing a video game, not a 3d avatar chatroom.

The game lacks reactive gameplay, the healer problem is the perfect example of that. The difficulty is in perfection of execution, memorization of puzzle mechanics with no rng. It's more like studying for and taking a test, like savage raids, and normal content is just the lite version

I feel like if I can do savage then others can as well. Savage is hard but sometimes the best things are locked behind hard work and effort. What you said is true ppl push RP / Glam to forefront and literally forgot you need to work for that glam. Also any of you saying M2 in arcadia is hard....there is literally something wrong with you. That fight is easy ended up doing it as a tank dps and healer there a trick and method to the fight. If you remember the Nier raid its like that. Those hit boxes are not mega huge I squeezed through it just as easily....DT really took the route git gud or go home in its raid XD. Overall...if your still struggling at this game. Go pratice run some trust learn your class through video and written guides.
