Dungeons & Raids Are Too Easy

[Nestama]

The way I see OP's post is they want dungeon and raid content to be more engaging and fun (not punishing). Like in Stormblood.

If everything is just going to be some variation of in/out, left/right, stack/spread and nothing unique... yeah, it gets pretty boring. Especially if the boss has us go through a tutorial phase to show us their very basic in/out, left/right, or stack/spread attack... TWICE.

The same reason people read a book to the end even though they know the heroes will probably win. Not every part of a game is meant to be a test of skill.

Normal dungeons and raids exist to move the story forward and give players a shared experience. Challenging content exists for players who want to be tested. FFXIV deliberately separates those goals rather than making every piece of content a progression wall.

If the MSQ required Savage-level execution, a large portion of the player base would simply never finish the story. The goal of normal content is accessibility, not mastery.

if you were half as good at FFXIV as you are at making strawman arguments, you would have every Savage mount
