Keeping Content Hard and Helping People Learn

[Altina_Orion]

Ok then, fair enough. It's very possible that both "sides" are also fighting windmills and have more common ground in reality.

Certain words can be triggering. Or at least, I know some like "putting in effort" and "pulling one's own weight" certainly are for me, I'll freely admit.

If this is in reference to me, may I ask how you know how much effort I have put in?

Mawlzy has openly stated earlier in this thread that they only run the story dungeons and trials once. Meaning they won't even run normal content more than one time. This is the BARE MINIMUM amount of effort to complete the story. So I understand that that term may be triggering, but it's absolutely apt in this case.

Edit: Correction, it was another thread. Here is the quote

More evidence that the game needs skill sliders or a dual-track.

You don't want to play with the babies. They do not want to play with you.

Incidentally, if one accepts that skill is something one gains through practice (which I do up to a point; there are also massive intrinsic skill variations in a MMO player pool), you might solve your puzzlement by realizing how little instanced PvE one is compelled to do in this game. For those of us who play each MSQ dungeon/trial once, we get hardly any practice at all.

This is also why I would like to see Duty Support extended to all required content. I don't want to be a burden on the players who are good at PvE, yet I am compelled to play those awful 8-man MSQ things with other players.
