Dev/Team Please Consider doing this for Prime Weapons

I'd advise against unsubbing since the game is more than Sortie and staying subbed helps keep it going. There's other ways to enjoy FFXI without canceling in a rage quit.

Oh I'm not quitting, i also not upgrading to Stage 4 any time soon (i don't even have the 1 mil yet, which is another problem) Our Group gets about 35k a run which i think is average to low average for a normal static and I'm okay with that. YEs I'd like to get more, but our team is not there yet.

But Making it so the Bosses Enrage or freak out @1 min when you need 5 Mil points for the next stage, is Dumb... Like Making the boss harder is one thing, but doubling the amount of points and making it harder is just punishing, its not fun... Playing a Game should be fun.. I like doing sortie and spending time with my friends, I don't like taking 256 days to farm enough Gali to make a prime because my group can only farm 35k a run, taking a Year to make a new weapon is not fun, yes i don't need a prime (i have all the BIS weapons for my Cor) but they make one so good I want it because its just that good, but idk if i want to burn out trying to make when it takes me almost a year to get it. Plus if i make any more +3 gear it will set me back 2 runs.

A Friend pitched an interesting question one night, Did the Devs even Test some of this stuff? Can they show us a Video of Them Beating Bumba V25? Aminon? to show us its possible without doing sketchy strats/Savage blade spams? Because i would almost bet they couldn't

I just don't think people have worked out the strategies yet. My Linkshells static group started off with very low gali when doing runs and got better and better as time went on - we are now hitting 42k and notice more improvement as time goes on.

This is the way a game is meant to be played, no mercs, no easy way to almost everything.

I can agree, we have been doing the same we started doing a lot of narkuls and getting like 18k now were 35-37k and might bring more bosses in and cut all narkuls.

But Mercs, I do think have their place, (im just not a fan of spam shouting), Like Solo players who want to get into activities, if they can't get help don't have a lot of friends or gear, a merc could get them 3-4 ambu VD kills to get an ambu weapon and a Sakpata V0 Clear and suddenly you have a okay geared War that can toss a Savage blade that doesn't hit like a wet noodle. Or heck an Aeonic clear to get a Great Axe, of Gun, or H2H, GK, all very strong "entry" level weapons to get. I'll even admit i've merc'd a few V0 Oddy clears (I have also done a ton for friends to help them out).

But i still think how Sortie is going, it is only hurting the game. Lower the Gali requirement (some), don't Enrage the Bosses on a stage 4 upgrade, and if they want to time gate it more then put more Voracious Psyche needed onto the upgrades, Cut stage 3 to 1/2 mil and 10 Voracious Psyche stage 4 to 1.5 mil but take 15 Voracious Psyche, and then stage 5 to like 2.5mil and 20 Voracious Psyche. it would take 9 months instead of 6 but the Gali requirement is lowered.

Idk maybe I am stuck on the Gali but I feel like the numbers are stupidly high, and now that the bosses enrage with a stage 4 weapon... it just makes it worse.
