So its now week four of the dungeons and week two of the raid.

Focusing on the raid, i can categorically say that week two is easier.

Week one deaths: M1 - 9, M2 - 4, M3 - 1, M4 - 6
Week two deaths so far: M1 - 1, M3 - 0 (yet to do M2/4)

This is because the fight is easier because I have now experienced it more.

Stop being an overdramatic reactionary and actually experience things. Or actually contextualise it better by stating its your initial thoughts, rather than a blanket view that things are too difficult.

Unfamiliar =/= more difficult!

I had one death in the 4 raids this week (after dying "quite a bit" more on week one XD).
That doesn't change the fact they are annoying to play.

You say annoying I say extremely fun and creative.

It's fun the first time and then it isn't on the second. It's like Alliance Raids (especially SB/SHB) - they are epic the first time and then, when you get them in Alliance Roulette, you know you are in for 45 minutes of pain and suffering

No way, when I get SB raids I'm excited! I wish I'd get them WAY more than I currently do. Less so for the ShB ones, but I didn't like them on launch anyways. Not for them being difficult or anything, I just found them boring - if I wanted Nier Automata I'd just replay Nier Automata

I had four deaths and we wiped once this week, did all four.
We wiped on Honey B, I said in party chat: "I don't even mind, these fights are so entertaining".
It's a letdown when I personally die, but I blame myself, and I encourage myself to not let it happen next time. ♥
I was so eager to redo the fights that I went ahead and didn't wait for my friends lol, I got all my loots, but hell yeah I'll do them again.
There's 25 million players on ffxiv, and square has data on each and every one of them.
They know if you're wiping on honey b, they know if it's unfair, all of that irrespective of your own perspective in favor of a less biased one.
I'm sorry you find these fights annoying, but I found endwalker fights boring. ;o;

And no one's even geared up yet. Just wait until everyone is 90 item levels higher.

While your argument is correct, by the time we get 90 more ilvls, the first 4 raids will become a lot less relevant. Unless, of course, they pop in the relic quest line somehow
