They complain but still go. Flux 7 (good for coins) Flux 9 (easy for new drops) are both a race to get in and a race to rank enough to get a chest, sometimes not so heavily but enough are still doing it that winning is a guaranteed thing. At least for now that is the case.Quote:

I'm going to chime in too and express my annoyance that this is too much for a minor upgrade. Needing special currency and only realistically being able to buy your ultimate weapon with gil is what destroyed Relics and Mythics for most players. It's a practice that destroys teamwork and causes people to be selfish.
Making gil in game is the same as real life just because you work hard doesn't mean you'll make those millions of dollars to be able to afford the mansion and Ferrari. Due to competition you're most likely average which means that you'll accumulate wealth at an average rate. As it stands in FFXI unless you have a lot of gil to invest, cheat by purchasing gil, or happen to be in the right place at the right time you won't be able to buy the limited quantity of currency (AKA Heavy Plates) in a timely manner. Anyone can finish this trial but only the very privileged will do it in a realistic time frame. As it stood most players did not enjoy the prospect of spending that much time to get a major upgrade (AKA Mythic and Relic weapons.) Odds are almost no one will do this next upgrade because of time constraints.
You can hardly think that the majority of players are happy that you've turned Emp weapons into mini relics. SE needs to reconsider the amount of heavy metal plates or increase the rate and/or monsters they drop from. The majority of players are NOT happy to spend a massive amount of time competitively collecting gil to do a trial for a piece of gear! -

empyrean/relic/mythic weapons should level up with your character. otherwise we're all going to quit because of the SHEER DIFFICULTY!!!!1
oh and relic weapons should also be free, they're unobtainable for people who aren't gilbuyers.
also, make mythic weapons easier to obtain too, lower the alexandrite requirement to 3 which is a lot more realistic, and remove the rest of the quests because that's just artificial difficulty. it's also near impossible to obtain the base weapon because nyzul can't be brewed so i can't solo it on my monk. i say you just trade the 3 alexandrites and the npc lets you pick from a list of mythic weapons.
wat say u guys? we should band together. say no to these impossible quests in game. it's our $13 we spend so we should get what we pays for!!!111! -

I'm going to break this down.
1) No. No it's not. I have to go work for 8 hours a day for a few bucks an hour. I can farm up 1-5mil a day, in just a few hours a day, with a mule.Quote:

2) You're going with a price that is not even decided yet, aqnd basing all of your assumptions off of it.
3) You have no Idea what the upgrade to Emp weapons are, and you're already writing it off as minor, not even considering likely hidden boosts or future 99 boosts.
4) Just because YOU think you/others won't do the upgrade doesn't mean others won't.
People will make these fast and for cheap within 3 months.
I also want to point out that VW is the first Endgame content we've received since the 75 cap was raised. Endgame is supposed to be harder, since that's the point of endgame. Endgame is not designed for everyone. This is a good thing. Everyone's getting something. Everyone has access to a passably strong weapon, and the dedicated get stronger weapons. The End. -

I think that there should be a few near impossible goals in this game, not everything should be like this but there should be at least a few things like this for the hardcore players.

10-01-2011, 02:34 PMMarkovChainVoidwatch is not endgame it's a bcnm lol. Faceplam. The gear is a downgrade/situational and it's only worth doing it to sell the crap. I think you don't know what endgame is.Quote:

I would just like to once again point out that you're stupid. It's a BCNM so it's not endgame? How is Sky/Sea/ZNM/Ouryuu/BahamutV2/Einherjar?
All of those involve you spawning a powerful mob and killing it, just like VW.
In fact, VW has its own powered up version of Kirin in Qilin. -
