99 Weapons Rant (yeah yeah another)

[Washburn]

Whoever nuked the other thread did it to break up the rally against the dev team. It's a shame they took the cowardous way out. All they're really doing is pissing me off even more. Douchebags...

[Nala]

Hence why in the largest one of them i had suggested we all create our own threads, to not only bombard them with likes but overwhelm them with threads, seems it was a good thing i actually executed my own advice i originally was just going to see if it caught on, didn't think they would nuke away the major thread.

[Vold]

I'm amazed a thread with rep responses in it got deleted. Doing it is about as bad of a move as you can do in the PR department.

[Vagrua]

This thread will be deleted, just like the other ones.

Use the already massive thread for this.

I really doubt people want to restate their opinions all over again if SE will just nuke the thread every time from negative feedback. The other thread had over 400 posts and 30k+ views. The current is only @ 173 posts and 11k views and it could be nuked also.

I also think it's a very low move to delete a thread full of so much feedback just because of one or two people. I'm betting the negative feedback had a play in the deletion though.

There is a difference between crying and voicing your own opinion. People here are voicing their opinion and concerns in terms of the lvl 99 stage 1 trial, meanwhile the Devs are blatantly ignoreing them and actually trying to tell us they are REASONABLE, which in itself is a fucking insult to every player that has a brain.

The Devs are ignoring you? Didn't they lower the requirements for stage 1 from like 20 to 5 or 3?

They're not ignoring you. Their just not giving you everything you want after your series of temper tantrums and waving around the "I'm a customer, you must do what I say all the time!" flag.

Because knocking it from 20 to 5 somehow solves the issue of ADL being a luck-based crapshoot, gives people not doing relic trials incentive to assist and handles the distribution of one drop across X number of relics.

Not sure why people keep saying how easy emps are compared to relic and mythic. Mythic is by far the hardest, but going to 95, I don't see how relic is any more difficult than an emp.

Gil wise, plates should be as much, if not more than the the base relic and then the rest of the trials, are ass easy for relics as compared to anything else.

99 Empyrean trials are stupid, mythic is easy, relic is just plain garbage.

You say that like it was just him, and wasn't 100+ people who were angry about the trials.

I would be fine with the 60 dross/cinder if: More than 2 mobs dropped them and the previous requirement wasn't a glaring 1500 items. From what I understand very few Empyrean owners made a stink because they were being told to 'shut up and spam VW you've got easy PUGable content'. Hopefully the next chapter will see more singles or dross/cinder clusters or even a decrease to 30 items.

Well ... I'd love to see those 1500 cut in half at least or perhaps 200 to 300? for the sake of correcting the glaring issue in the stages of progression. Yes, Empy owners are well ingrained and resigned to fetching x amount from PITA monster but at least the promise of 1 and the possibility of 2 kept tedium to a minimal. Increase the chance of obtaining single plates and the probability of plate pouches, because its sad when my bazaar stash of riftsand and silver mirrors over the course of a run is 10-20 while my plate prospects remains barely 1 to 3.

Everything else at this point is 'nod and smile' ....

SE said for the 10th anniversary of FFXI (+ the year of Dragon) they are planing big surpsie/new content, maybe new continent? we cant know now but, i think we should just wait and see...
Maybe all this stuff will be alot easyer...

Imagine if @ LV 75 SE said "ok guys for lv 99 we plan to get you a new WS! for unlock it you just need 100 Merit points! (+15 Merit to unlock the quest) " (When, back at that time it was a pain to get even 10 merit pts)
