Your idea of a challenge.

One of the biggest complaints about Abyssea is that it lacks "challenge". Yet the rebuttal is often that old content wasn't a "challenge" either and that people overcomplicated it.

Since so many people want the game to be more challenging, what would you like to see implemented?

Personally I love mental strategies.

something where one person screws up their roll = wipe

Jailer of Love is a fun fight. Not as 'challenging' as it was at 75 but I like it.

The new HQ Dynamis Bosses are quite the challenge still. Also, let's not forget voidwatch. Good gear to be had doing either and it's still brand new = challenging.

I think the only challenge I've had in FFXI was Salvage really.

Probably one of the best events they ever added.

I agree that Salvage was a bit of a challenge. I didn't like being the only one without any gear though, haha.

Mmm, I think the game could be made harder without subtracting everything and having us unlock it. And I think the game could be harder even while keeping cruor buffs and atmas. I kind of like Nyzul Isle's floor system where every floor had a unique objective and we wouldn't know the objective until we got there. The objectives themselves weren't very enjoyable, but the concept was neat.

What I'd consider a challenge: Something that takes skill, planning, and coordination. If someone messes up, there should be dire consequences. Also, taking a long time to do is not challenging.

I find the biggest challenge in FFXI is getting temp items from campaign NPCs while having other NPCs spam you.
