Lost Ark Solo mode difficulty changes - coming from a returning player

I heard the devs are speaking of refining the difficulty of solo mode for learners. and I HOPE TO GOD they are talking about increasing the difficulty, and not lowering it.

Here is my main take with all this:
Solo is too easy and doesn't prepare you enough. They shouldn't remove the mechanics to make it easier... it is already easier by not having to do the mechanics with a party involved. that in itself should be the "easier difficulty." the big examples are g2 thaemine was COMPLETELY different. and g3 thaemine abilities 1 shot, and he has an increased amount of patterns that i wasn't practiced for. I looked at them before the fight but without the practice, I hesitated. the 1 shotting thing.. sure they don't have to, but removing the patterns made me unprepared.

Came back 3 weeks ago, and I've been simultaneously soloing the old raids starting from valtan on my alt up to brel. and then express pass on main starting from kayangl-ivory tower-thaemine-echidna. only thing I skipped was Akkan which i plan to do on my alt when he gets there. all of the raids on my main, I would do the solo version, then the following week I would do in a party. (the old raids are dead so can only do solo up to kayangel). My point being that I am a prime example of a new player comparing solo to group content.

like the problem is, they make solo even easier than normal without considering the fact that you don't have to do party mechanics, which makes it even easier on top of that. It's basically an "easy" mode. If anything they should make it match hard mode in terms of mechanical difficulty. The thing that solo mode provides people is a way to practice without people tilting, leaving group, raging at your, jailing you etc. But it isn't good practice if you remove half the mechanics/patterns, while also having the remaining mechanics not needing to be involved with a party.
