99 Weapons Rant (yeah yeah another)

[Babekeke]

Why do people defend content that no one wants to do?

The gripe from most isn't that this takes effort. It's that it takes bullshit effort. Doing an ADL run is already dull enough to prevent 99.9% of players from ever even attempting it and you think it's a good idea to force people to kill it dozens of times? It's not too hard it's just not even slightly fun. It's frustrating and annoying and it's a shitty thing to force on people.

And you say I don't understand? I understand completely. If you want to get the best weapons in the game, you have to do stupid retarded stuff.

Look back to ffxi 9 for example. You happily play through the game and as you get to quite a high level, you think "I'll get a guide to see if there's a really good weapon that I can get that I've missed". In said guide, it says that you actually had to NOT open several treasure chests as you progressed through the game. 1 of which was even in the prologue before the main part of the game even started. If you want the uberweapon, you now have to completely restart the game to get it.

You have 2 choices. you can stick with your level 95 weapon, which is superior to all weapons apart from the level 99 versions; or you can do stupidretardedtrial to upgrade to 99. You have a choice. Noone is forcing you do do anything.
Personally I choose not to do them. You may all make your own choices.

The other thing is that people insist on ciomplaining about this content even though it hasn't even been implimented yet.

Wasn't that FFXII? The Zodiac w/e?

[Unctgtg]

it is far easier to change when it is in development then when it is already in the game.

Realy that's already been covered by just building the base 75 weapon in the case of relics and mythics, and heavy metal plates covered it for Emps. Everything from that point on should just be routine maintenance.

That's not a choice, that's bad game design. No one's forcing them to keep playing a game with many poorly thought out design choices either. You let stuff like that slide often enough and the playerbase will just pack up and leave. It's not like FFXI is the only game on the market, and there are plenty of more promising options on the horizon.

I don'r remember having to wait for 18 of my friends to log in to get that weapon in FF9 though, maybe its been so long I just don't remember right.... Back then I though I had a party ready to go at all times, guess they didn't have anything better to do.

It's hard to give respect when they don't give us any. They have no regard or respect that we are human beings paying them money to play their game. How many times must we do this dance? They announce something way too time consuming because they lack man power to release quality content in quantity. We bitch. They tone stuff down. But not always...


You'd think they would learn after a dozen times or more that stuff like these trials are not acceptable. But as long as just one person wants to do them without complaint, it's all good, apparently.

I think SE is shifting it's main Mmorpg future on FFXIV not FFXI,of course there is going to come a time when FFXI is actually going to shut down because i don't believe SE would want to release and keep running two final fanasy MMORPG's for a sustance long peroid of time.

Maybe they will shift FFXI off to a F2P and keep FFXIV as the premium,P2P Final Fantasy.

Then why is SE adjusting the 95 cap fight? you can stick with your level 95 character, which is superior to all previous levels apart from the level 96+; or you can do stupidretardedtrial to break the cap to 99. You have a choice. Noone is forcing you do do anything.

Yet SE is babying the lvl cap trial.

SE will keep FFXI running as long as it makes them money; they're a business remember. The day SE considers shutting down XI is the day that they don't have enough subscriptions to cover the costs of server upkeep and maintenance.

When KFC started selling the ever popular extra-crispy chocobo they didn't just stop offering original recipe. As long as the revenue coming in from demand exceeds the costs to produce a product or offer a service, they will continue to offer it.

This isn't exactly true as they could figure they could put the people who are doing the upkeep on ffxi on a MORE profitable project and shut it down for that reason.

I would like to see the Forum clusterfucked with Topics/Threads to the lvl 99 stage 1 Trial (I'm serious) can people fullfill my dream ._.?
