Ermm...again this is not "default" content, it's optional. In one post you said "saying its optional content is disingenuous" but then you turn right around in your next post and say "The content is optional in the same way the whole expansion is optional." So your being a hypocrite here. "Default" content is content required to get to endgame, that means MSQ getting to appropriate level for said MSQ, story dungeons and the one mandatory raid series for crystal tower.
Literally everything outside of that is optional. This content is easy, and not hard. All of the MSQ can be done via duty support and it's now single player game until DT lvl 100 trail. This is not a non issue for content difficulty, there was no midcore content before dt came out, now that we have it entitled people that got fostered of easy difficulty in ew are pushing back for seemingly no reason at all.
There is no point for a super casual player to be doing these fights weekly, glamor? No you can't even dye this set, won't do savage so they can either. Nor do they need Ilvl at all, the ally raid is there to offer catchup gear later on.
I'm sticking with the idea your newer and that's fine but honestly until you get to current content your opinion is somewhat moot. If you came in saying
"I'm new to the game I like/dislike it so far, I think the content is fair/unfair, this is my take on what content is like as a new player...." then I can get behind your point.
Again it is entitled for players to think/want to be able to do content with little care on learning a fight/mechanic and expect to be rewarded. No if you want to do this content pay it at least the slightest bit of attention and learn it. That's the main crux of this whole post. It's a matter of a player/players not willing to put in the slightest bit of effort needed to clear a raid series, that is and I will say it yet again, completely optional and nobody has to do it at all if they don't like/want to.
