Here we go again

[IronThistle]

I'm turning 65 in less than 2 months, and I'm able to complete Meso Terminal and have fun doing it. But that's me. I don't judge anyone, but sometimes, generalizations aren't always accurate. =P

A couple of takes on it:
Age isn't always what's holding you back.
There's nothing wrong with saying a piece of content isn't for you, regardless of what age you are or what you play, or whatever.

I feel like elitism is running wild on a thread where all that was asked was an easier mode. Not a change to what you had or what you can do, but an easier mode because it was too hard for them. Or me, hell that new alliance raid sucks. I don't want to do it again. I did not find it fun. But I'm also not you guys. I don't want everything always to be as hard as possible. I do think they've lost what fun is in terms of content or job design.

The reason they won't add an easier mode is it essentially defeats the intended purpose of Trusts. They aren't supposed to be an "I win" button, but a means of letting you go at your own pace without bothering other players or be bothered by them. If they made it so easy you couldn't fail, you run the risk people stop queuing with randoms because bots guarantee them a clear. On the flipside, it will almost undoubtedly lead to friction if players who typically run Trusts start to queue in normally, but now only have experience with the easier mode.

Regardless, there is an easy mode if your sole objective is to clear for the MSQ. Pick a tank, specifically Warrior or Paladin. You are invisible. Seriously. I did the second boss of the new dungeon with 5 vulns and nothing came even remotely close to killing me. You can make all the mistakes in the world and you're fine.

Not everyone is like you. I play for fun. If it's not fun I don't play. I stay in my lane so to speak. I don't want to do anything harder than normal difficulty though that differs between people, but there's this group of people that want to ruin the content I find fun when no one is asking for the content in their lane to change at all.

That's nice but...

"Git gud" exists for a reason.

Not really. If you encounter a situation like that you have another option and it's one that's considerably more financially damaging to the company that made that game I'm just saying.

It's not that hard of a choice honestly if you got stuck. There are loads a games I dropped because they got boring or too hard.

To save you the time writing a response I just blocked you. Have a nice day

i personally think DT's difficulty is fine if u dont wanna adapt there is many many other games to play esp good singleplayer games that would cater more to you

I'm fine. I'm just not finding the stuff we're doing fun. I'm all caught up to the newest AR raid. I'm going to unsubscribe because I'm bored. I'm not the OP. I'm not stuck on the meso terminal.

Hey guys, you ever think strange individuals will realize this isn't insulting? Like.... oh no!.....

Anyway.

He should probably play those games more often too. It's incredible how insulted people feel by a term that was invented to be endearing.

People really need to get over themselves with their victim complex. Saying people want the entire game to be extreme or higher is such a reach.

It's the people who got a little too comfortable with all content below extremes being baby easy in Endwalker.
And since they never experienced or don't remember anything else they automatically assume that the game being harder than baby easy must mean it's extreme or savage difficulty.

Well, that and it's an attempt to give what they're saying more weight.
Saying we want everything to be savage difficulty is, at first glance, more convincing than saying we want the game's content to at least not plateu around level 60, after you already played 100+ hours to reach max level.

[Aravell]

Saying people want every dungeon to become savage difficulty is such a massive exaggeration that's just really ruining any potential credibility any other points one might have, none of the dungeons in DT even comes close to savage content in terms of difficulty and punishment for failure.

On the other hand, if people just said the dungeons are harder now then that would be harder to dispute, because DT dungeons do tend to overlap mechanic tells more by having some tells spawn while resolving the previous mechanic, so missing a couple tells is very common for people who aren't used to looking around the arena while resolving mechanics.
