A few SMNs make short work of him.

To me, the larger problem here is that Yorcia Weald reiving is still having issues, thereby contributing to the 5-10 hr marathon sessions. I really wish they'd change that map, and perhaps add a...

Fair enough. I know boss mats are flooding my server's AH. The primary bottleneck appears to be Scarletite and Ormolu Ingots. Mileage may vary by server, but I do Legion fairly often and can say...

I mentioned them to respond to YOUR question, so please stop being facetious.

Anyway, the scarcity of stuff like Pamun and Sharur probably has more to do with the fact that few people play or gear...

While it may be true that many old hardcore players have quit, there have been new hardcore players to replace them. By the same token, many old casual players quit, and new casual players have...

Delve Boss mats are flooding the AH at least on my server. Admittedly, there is a Scarletite Ingot and Ormolu Ingot shortage at the moment, but sometimes they find their way to the AH or Bazaars. ...

Not sure what Matsui could do about the playerbase's elitism except add AH-able Delve weapons (check), buff existing gear (check), and keep adding new gear and events in the interstices of Content...

I actually don't disagree with anything you said, and I think you said it very well. But as has been said in this and other threads, MMORPG devs also have to design new content to cater to both the...

Yes, they had a greater variety of things for people to do that did not involve HNM-claiming, but that doesn't really address the other prong of everything being fairly easy and based on grinding out...

By the same token, I don't think I'd want to go back to the days where everything was fairly easy to kill, and all the "effort" was either 1) grinding out RNG or 2) standing around and watching other...

As a preliminary matter, many of the programs you cite are already being utilized by linkshells that regularly clear this content, and the mats have been flooding the market and tanking in price.
...

Prices on my server for Tier I Legs, Torso, and one of the Visages are around 10-20k each. 50-70 of each on the AH. Either the problem worked itself out as more people got their Naakual KIs, or...

I think that people have a reasonable amount of time to get to the top tier content before it becomes outdated, based on the dev's upcoming plans. The next round of Delve Bosses aren't even...

Played since NA launch, and I'll stand by my statement and raise you another:

RMT bots auto-pulling Argus is not the same as an ally of 18 people with (i) tricked-out MNKs with ACC builds and...

I agree 100% with your above statements. Although one byproduct is that a lot of people I know across the NA Lakshmi playerbase have taken it to heart and leveled jobs they wouldn't have ordinarily...

Oy gevalt.

If an ally of 18 RMT's is capable of actually clearing Delve Boss content, with all of the specialized gear sets, array of support jobs, communication, and coordination that entails,...

Actually, I think with those assets you (and others like you) are already far ahead of the curve, but who's to say?

We're not going to agree on the issue because I don't agree with the first...

I guess we are looking at the numbers differently, because when only a handful of shells at the moment are currently clearing Bosses per server, 30-60 potential shells seems like a lot to me. I...

By your own numbers, you have actually demonstrated a substantial pool of players with which to form linkshells (or even well-organized PUGs). Some will never be motivated to do so and so they have...

Aren't they already closing the gap in gear quality? Percentage-wise, they might still be on a different tier than the Boss gear, but the August patch stats will allow many more people to beat the...

That's just the point though. They don't think it's bad for the game, because it introduces a level of challenge they felt was lacking (regardless of whether you think they are looking for false...

It's rhetorical because you are asking it in order to make a point. Obviously, if you accept as true the idea that the lower weapons suck so bad in comparison (which they do), it wouldn't have a...

The question of why having the lower weapons is of any benefit to the game or players is rhetorical. At the moment, SE's design philosophy is stepwise ladder progression. The lower weapons help in...

How is it messing it up for everyone else when it's clearly possible for Rigor MNKs to beat Tojil? Granted, the rewards from Delve Bosses are a higher step up a ladder than prior events in the game...

I think people are talking past each other in this thread. His underlying complaint is not that there shouldn't be challenging content, but that the rewards for the challenging content should be...
