The Absurdity Point?

I was playing FF12 last night and I felt cheapened. There's no story difficulty to this game. In the old days of RPGs there were parts where you had no idea where to go and you had to wander around for while til you either accidentally found where yo were supposed to be or remembered that vague clue some minor said fifteen game hours ago.
FF12 though has a map with a giant red X on where you should be and an explaination at the bottom of what is there.
My question. Are things being made easier for everyone on purpose by 'The Man' or am I simply reaching the Absurdity Point*?

*Absurdity Point-a point in which a person becomes so skilled and versed in something that it no longer holds any challenge. You become so good, it's absurd.
