Square Enix please don't balance game to 1% player

The new player experience is awful slow and offputting, theirs been so many players who quit because of how slow and long ARR takes alone.

I don't get how its such a hard concept to grasp that we can have easy jobs for "casual players" while having "difficult jobs" for anyone wanting slightly more challenge, even new/casual players can pick up "difficult jobs" and they don't have to perform well if they're doing casual content itself.

I played paladin in SHB and didn't even know to DOT properly by 80, did it magically bar me off content? No. So why do we need to make changes that literally effect no one but people who go into hard content and expect to automatically be good at their job.

I can only speak for myself, but when I started this game, the ARR jobs were definitely not the problem that made me question my decision to even play this game /cough/ post MSQ story /cough/

Otherwise I agree with the majority here - there should be easy jobs and content for people that like easy, and hard jobs and content for people that like hard. Personally I never liked BLM (all the 50 self-buffs you have to juggle with and how you loose them all any time a boss turns invulnerable, plays a cutscene, or whatever), so I did not play it. Was that a problem for me? Of course not. And if hypothetically speaking BLM does 20% more damage than any other class, and only BLMs get invited into hard content? I still don't care, since I'm not engaging with this content anyway
