FFXIV a little too easy?

I’m not really complaining since I am really enjoying it right now. But for old school Final Fantasy players—especially if they played FFXI—did you find 14 to be a little too easy?

I am happy that I don’t have to grind like a maniac and constantly be in a party like you had to in 11, at least in its early years. So you could casually play through the story.

But I am finding that it’s lacking a bit in the challenge department. Like no strategy needed for boss fights. Just hit your buffs and dump skills and combos.

I’m almost level 50 after 5 days of casually playing. Already have most of my artifact armor (dragoon). Not even grinding because the guides and advice given was not to do that until you get through the MSQ.

Did this happen because of fan pushback? Maybe to encourage people to keep playing and let the social aspect shine more?

This can’t be just be me right? Does it get boring long run? I feel like if the difficulty for the MSQ doesn’t ramp up…I’m going to get bored by the time I get to End Walker. Or is the story strong enough to keep me going to finish Dawn Trail?
