I think we need to address elephants in the room. Yes, elephants, multiple ones.

This statement is, quite literally, 100% objectively false

Sure, but compare the effort of glam items in the store--or PvP for that matter, compared to how most people want to normally play the game.How many dungeon items aren't even dyeable?

Wdym the NA demo timer released 2k-3k empty plots and we've all spent the last few months bidding on them and I see 4 open FC plots on my small Aether world ward but there's 150 open plots overall.

Also, we have many free in-game glams, like we just got a diving suit from the Moonfire rewards during the summer.

@Halfrek62: Finally, are the "professional players" in the room with us now? I'm quite bad at games, and for solo RP fights, we have the Very Easy setting.

If it's too much, SE will always continue to nerf content over time as we get better gear, and for most 4 man duties you can play as DPS where there's zero expectations beyond carrying some feathers for emergencies.

FWIW: I wouldn't mind more accessibility settings like reducing VFX and AoE spam during hectic raids and not making the arena red/orange the entire time on top of glowing blue orbs.
