I honestly think its a combo between trying to have widespread appeal while making everything a giant time sync with RNG.

And what makes this RNG system have widespread appeal, do you think? Also, do you not think this RNG system is an even cheaper way to extend content life than even the old grind?

How is this thread 62 pages?

Did you all really just argue with this guy for 62 pages?

Seriously, if old school parties were at all wanted or useful, people would make them. The fact is theyre not useful or wanted. There's only a very small handful of people on each server that want them back, your best option would be to try and convince SE to add an "Oldschool" server. I bet it would get enough ALTs and people who liked camping kings and exping the 'old way' to join it to make it worth having.

It's gone on this long because I came looking for a discussion and all I got was flames and spam. Forgot how the internet works.

Go ask Bugsy Siegel, I guess.

No need to wait for hours, no more needing specialized LS, or always need bunch of elitist to do anything anymore. The game has more options and many myriad ways you can do things that you will never run out of options for years.

I like your post, but the newest added events actually require a large LS again. For instance my LS (10~ people) tried Odin V2 the other day, only got it to 50%~ before timing out, lol. And we can barley do Legion/new Ultima/new Omega and win. Game is shifting back to requiring to many people, which I don't really like.

I lol'd. Good try trying to say it's everyone else's fault. The truth is you just don't want to admit that the new way is better and more liked. Forcing people to EXP the way you want is a bad move for game design, and people will be upset. It was very hard to find people 3 years ago to exp with, it would be even more impossible now. You on the other hand, still have the ability to create an 'old school party' and go do it your way. Nothing is stopping you, except maybe your inability to accept you're wrong and quit posting and go play. Options are good, whether you like it or not.

Have you read all 62 pages? The truth is you're about to open up the same can of worms that's been over and over again already, and here you are affirming that you haven't read much of anything previously. Do that, and then come back to this end of the discussion. You're effectively answering your own question as to how this has gone on this long.

It has gone on this long because you're feeding off the attention and insisting on responding to every single thing that gets posted in this thread.

I think some of the newest contents added are for those people who still likes to do it with 17 others and wants some challenge. Legion and Neo Einherjar are two prime examples. The good thing is that the gears obtained there are not game breaking and provide alternatives from empyrean+2 and VW gears. What's good with the state of the game now is that there are so many varieties to choose from and at least they are giving casual players more options than it used to be. Who knows, maybe they will release some sort of "brew" for those two contents. They came up with displacer a year after voidwatch was released. Their attitude however has changed, now you no longer get the sane progression reward system Abyssea style - instead we are getting the old school luck based reward system - and in some cases, a hybrid one with gears obtained by points, and gears dropped with random luck.

Well, I guess if people shouldn't expect responses, then maybe they shouldn't post, yeah?

Most of your "responses" have amounted to "lalala I can't hear you, stop insulting me and being mean, you can't make an argument and are wasting my time." That is called spamming.

I think it might also be classified as trolling.
