    It is as i said, in port jueno today people where saying the game is too easy. You act like this is something new and you never heard it before. I enjoy the game too, I would enjoy it more if there was more of a challenge. All the new content that came out that's 90+ is easy and takes no skill at all.

    You don't need anything for vw, just an ochain pld or two for the higher tiers. That's not challenging. Comparing the new content to the old content when it first came out, there is a big difference. Dynamis death houses in windurst have their names for a reason. There is no death house in abyssea or theres no nm in vw that is that bad, except maybe the corse nm because of doom.

    My point is there has been some new content, and it's not very challenging at the levels it's introduced. And we've low manned arch nm in other zones, they are not a challenge either, except the orc's can be a a pain with charm if not using pets to assist as dd/tank, but this hardly counts as a challenge.

    You also choose to ignore the fact that WOE is new and supposed to be for 90+, yet theres auto-rr in the dam event, so really what are you trying to say? I said it clearly, new content coming out so far has not been as challenging as the older content was when it came out. Everything has auto-rr in it now, WOE and abyssea have it. Even VW has a ton of oppurtunities to get a rr scroll, just from an HQ proc. Tell me how this challenges the player base, and how these events are not aimed at the current level cap. People spam the higher tier VW for drops all the time, yet back in the day only a select few could tackle AV or PW.

    We all know you need an alliance for Arch-dynamis lord, you can't 5-man him at 95 or 99. I only mentioned the DL fight because I was comparing the fun I had from fighting in an alliance at 80 and wiping, compared to low manning at 95. It wasn't about the look at what I did, I even mentioned the fun factor.

It encourages you to explore the whole breadth of content rather than asking you to bumrush and bypass all the old content just so you can grind the newer content. This is a model used by other MMOs such as WoW, and while I don't have anything against people that enjoy this model, if I wanted to play an MMO with that model there are many, many games vast superior to XI in terms of mechanics and especially customer service that offer such a model.
