Difficulty of normal content.

I would reply that there is only 1 math boss (so far), so adding another one would make it 2. On the other hand, bosses requiring running around to resolve mechs are added by dozen every major patch. So, the numbers are clearly skewed in one direction

If you don't like the majority of the content of the game, why do you even play it ? and why do you ask for it to be changed or include things in it when you don't like the majority of it anyways ?
Even math boss has these standard telegraphs if I remember well.
Sounds like this game is not for you, and that's okay. I'm saying this seriously and I have no mean intentions lol.
Like, this sentence is litterally "I don't like 99.9% of the fight mechanics in a game centered around combat". I don't play games I don't like. I don't know why anyone would want to suffer that.
Not to mention you're grossly off topic, you're not complaining about difficulty, you're complaining about not liking FFXIV's mechanics.
insert "why are we still here" meme

(Edit: They tried to shake up mechanics with the honey b fight, it's really creative and unique, everybody loves honey b, but when you ask them about the fight, it's another story entirely,
one of the complaints about the raid's difficulty is litterally use and abuse of non-standard telegraphs,
meanwhile, greatest serpent of tural crying in a corner because ignored with its unique puzzle that requires you to solve something akin to a logic problem,
haven't seen a single person comment that they like the mechanic, and it just confuses everyone at first. He so cute too ;o; poor boi)

I completely understand why someone would be upset about difficulty scaling past what they can handle or enjoy; the mild increase in difficulty feels perfect to me personally, but I'd be frustrated if difficulty suddenly skyrocketed to Dark Souls levels in casual content because that wouldn't be enjoyable to me.

I don't understand where the complaint about non-standard telegraphs comes from, though. Non-standard telegraphs have been the standard for a long time.

It's not that unique, I pulled Storm's Crown from the roulette last night and it has the same mechanic, I wouldn't be surprised if some savage player could pull an even earlier example.
