See this what happens when you get nothing but safe spaces and hug zones (which is what FF14 has become over the last few years). You guys want to treat any sort of criticism as personal attacks against you and if you can report and get them banned, you would. Just like you here on psow because because of opinions so far in this thread

And fyi i have friends who work 40-50hr weeks still in our current situation with families, they still make the time and put in the effort to get good at this game, good enough to upkeep skill and gear over time then break away from the game again as long as they need. Almost like a hardcore casual but you sound exactly the sort of person who puts minimal effort and minimal time possible into the game only to be upset when people criticize you because of your lack of skill.

Tldr: everyone but me is toxic and im being attacked

Some vids for the Etoile section, since it is not a thing in this thread yet:

Wonderful skill. At least I can get to see how the game can actually be made easy mode. :p

I never notice any invincibilty in that DB attack. It's th very reason I never use DB on Etoile to begin with...

"Expert" players have no lives in plain English because being good at a game is much more important then family and friends lol.

The expert requirement is extremely lenient though! I managed to do it with just +30 novel weapons and no s-affixes at all (I was coming back to the game and it was foreign to me). If you have just an atlas you can steamroll through these requirements, even more so once the latent almost doubles in damage soon.

I feel like expert right now just separates the people who just don't care from the people who care at least a microscopic amount.

Pretty much yeah. The original expert was already like that only needing to clear stages 1-5 of first solo XQ. And yet, some people couldnt do it. People complain about expert not filtering enough players, but when you compare it to non-expert...well I am grateful we even have a filter at all :p
