Wake up, "Seekers" is failing

Sure, so according to that theory, everyone should have beaten every delve NM at their regularly scheduled LS event by now and be regularly farming their airlixers and plasm. The ones who haven't beaten them and upgraded have not done so because... why again?

I'm not sure, but they are most likely holding regularly scheduled practice runs. The fights are quite challenging and take practice. Some groups schedule bead farming night as well.

When you make events that require far less people, people find forming groups to be far less of a chore. This pisses of the 5 guys on each server that are leading Boss killing linkshells, but makes the other several thousand people feel like they are a part of the game again.

Sure, and Matsui has already recognized that's a problem, and said he would try to rectify it.

Great. I guess that's fair since they pay way more than everyone else and basically make the game fun for them just by being around...

Please, no strawmen ;; Nobody is saying they pay more than anyone else. The rationale is that an MMO like this has to satisfy both hardcore and casual players in order to make money.

You realize that people just paid $30 for an expansion and nothing you named besides delve was a result of that that $30 expansion right?

Huh? I was responding to your comment, where you raised pre-expansion events and the notion that the new event invalidated all of that stuff. My response necessarily had to incorporate pre-expansion events. Please stay on track ><

You just don't get it. Why would anyone want to work extra hard for <a day? a week? a month? More???> Just to get something that isn't quite as good as what another guy got in a few minutes? just because he doesn't have 17 friends who work the same schedule as him?

I think, but I'm not sure, that you are making a veiled reference to the new weapons outclassing RME. If that is so, here is where we agree. I don't think SE should have done what they did, adding new weapons that wholesale eclipsed items that took weeks or months to perfect. I think it's counterintuitive to have a weapon drop from a 45-minute fight that can beat a weapon like a Mythic that could take years to make. At best, if they wanted to ensure people played their expansion, they should have created a new Magian trial for each weapon, requiring X number of Delve items to upgrade to a "super" version that would be slightly better than Delve weapons.

If that isn't what you meant, it's a somewhat more complex answer. It's the same principle behind why some people are content to just cap their character to a certain extent and don't strive to perfect the min/maxing. I know some people who farmed easier content like Abyssea to complete their collection while knowing full well that there were other pieces of gear from more difficult events that eclipsed the Abyssea gear. Anyway, we'll see what the rewards are like for the new lowman events.

So after I do Reives for one day, then what?

You buy Bayld equipment and fight Wildskeepers (after they patch the silly Colonization thing).
