Game is to easy
Normal combat hardly ever puts you in aposition where you are in danger of dying as long as you follow the story line everything you fight is near you level or 1 or 2 levels higher. Its way to casual even if fighting 3 enemies at the same time.
I don't even need to rest between fights just run from enemy to enemy.
I like the game..but I can see it getting boring becuase of that lack of any challenge at all.

Wait till the end-game raids.

They made the rest of the game rather accessible to all players, leaving raiding only for those who like the challenge, the difficulty raises a lot with the level, heavensward, their new expansion has a bit more challenging monsters that have a ton more hp and hit much harder.

under 50 its indeed rly easy.

I'm guessing unless a game is dark souls dificult it would be too easy for you. Mmo's like ffxiv use levels to determine dificulty so of course something close to your level wont be a huge threat.

What were you expecting? A high skill-ceiling in a PvE MMO? Lmao.

FFXI made people leave their comfort zone in other ways such as making you actually TALK with other players to organise parties and exploration, along with some other daring design choices. But even then, "hard" would not be the word I would use.

As much as I still love this game, I advise all challenge junkies to get their fix from singleplayer and competitive games.

If you're finding it too easy, you might also consider taking on a different role. Tanks and healers usually have more to worry about than DPS; although if you take a nap, while you're DPSing, your group might very well pay the price. Anyway; if you're finding it boring, your chosen class/job may have something to do with it. Just something to keep in mind.

I am still enjoying the game very much becuase of the questing and so many different things to do. It was just my comment on how easy the enemies are . An enemy my own level barely ever takes more than a sliver off my HPs. I am playing as a pugilist.

:) it will be more challenging later on, do not worry, you will surely die! :D

If you want difficulty in an MMO, you need to fight things 5 levels above you, which you won't be able to kill half the time due to numbers

I've always said if you want a challenge, avoid an MMO. It's good for community and sometimes gorgeous worlds. But never, ever have any I have played provided any hard content. Ever.

Stick to single player games for that. Especially the older ones.

Top-tier raid content and PvP are usually good for a challenge; but this is a general statement, since I don't have any experience with ARR's yet. But yeah; solo/group content tends to be pretty mindless. There's a reason terms like facerolling exist.

IMO level 1-50 the game is just one big tutorial for you to get to know your class and what the job entails. 50+ is where you put your training in place with the end game Raids etc.

Here's the thing: You came back after several rounds of nerfing content and buffing players that it's not even funny when you say you want hard content :)

Even Heavensward right now doesn't have hard content yet. They haven't released Raid, and Ravana Ex and Bismarck Ex are more akin to Ifrit, Garuda and Titan HM when ARR was released, not the Ex version.

actually I'm finding the new HW dungeons quite hard as a healer(not counting the first 2), but also might be because people on their way to 60 are kinda undergeared.

The mobs in HW does a lot of dmg and has a lot of hp so as a healer I'll have to do 1 at a time or kite a bit when fighting 2

Going from "I want the game to hold my hand as I level up a new class" to "The game is too easy." Huh.

Incidentally, play the game for more than two hours, it'll get tougher as it goes on.
