Main character energy here. We expect people to at least engage in the game enough to not be complete dead weight. Minimal effort is more than enough for 80 percent of the content. Ofc I'd rather it be more than minimal but beggers can't be choosers right?

Imagine if you were an npc in the games main story who just wins all the time. Never having to fail even once. Your perfect in every way. That's such a boring character and everyone would comments on that fact.

Now flip it back as the player, you never fail, never wipe, and you need not expend more than what's needed to clear a fight. This is what the hyper casuals want out of the game. How boring is that? Does that really sound fun? No I doubt you would say it is. Games should be engaging, fun and challenging. It's a fine line to get that right, currently ff14 is fun, but engaging? Its got a ways to go before it settels on that tight rope walk.

It is in now way toxic for the majority of the player base to want someone engaging fun and challenging in a nice balancing act. It is however pretty entitled of people wanting the game to cater to all people and not be at a target audience. A game for everyone is a game for nobody.

If players can't understand that the games just not catered to them or does not offer something that is of interest? that's their issue and should not affect the player base who actually cares about the health of it. Why play a game that your not engaged with? not having fun with how the direction of the game is going? Do what yoshi P has Said a few times before. Play a different game if you don't have anything to do/don't like the content that's out.

Entitlement to brain dead easy peezy mode in normal optional content and even in msq to make it even more brain dead. Is laughably sad.
