Difficulty of normal content.

Not everyone wants a constant challenge. You ex players and raiders get your own modes and challenges, some people just want to veg out and enjoy a non challenging game, which the game has been for ten years, to it's success. Stop trying to make other people play your way.

PF is getting worse with third party tool parses being demanded, and friends I do have whonhave gotten clears in savage ar getting kicked off teams constantly for the tiniest mistakes.

Giving the 'crushing difficilty' people an inch has caused the game to get less friendly, forgiving, and fun.

Like, I thought we had debunked the "Ultimate raiders demanding they make casual content harder" conspiracy theory like... 100 pages ago.
I took baby steps in ultimate, same with like, current savages, not more, yet am pretty vocal about loving dawntrail. Lots, lots of other people like me in this thread. :P
I'd wager it's the people like me that like Dawntrail the most. We can't/don't want to commit to savages/ultimates, but we still want challenge in the casual content we can do, and square enix took a (tiny) step in that direction, and it feels to me like the response is overwhelmingly positive. Qualifying Dawntrail's difficulty as "crushing" is also a gross mischaracterization or a really subjective statement that is not representative ? It's not what I would want either.
To me, it don't feel harder, it feels more dynamic and engaging, especially now that I've gotten used to the new pace.

Like, it would be really easy to turn this argument on you and say
"Giving the turbo casuals an inch has caused them to demand more and more, and now Yoshi P's lifework was making him sleepy and I didn't feel this game was for me anymore up to dawntrail, despite having played since ARR"
And again, like, yeah, am decent at the game, I think, but I'm not a raider and I don't want to be lol.

Like, the dawntrail changes to pacing aren't targeted at savage raiders at all, they deal with much, much, much worst lol.
