The nerf scattergun approach?

[Karbuncle]

Rather White Knight then delusional. I see it that way... FFXI always was hard and there where always ppl that didnt like that. Abyssea was heaven for this kind of Players i can accept that.
I can see that there has to be content that can be done effective casualy.

However. A lot of older players quit over this content. Now these players that liked abyssea go into conent which is obviously not made for players which are into that easy pace concept.

Now its crying and whineing about not being Gods. But in order to keep this Game interesting for both kinds of Players...
SE seems to be trying to get the Players back that quit. In order to do that.... they adjust things that are more soloplay then anything else.

FFXI Was never hard. I mean that in Difficulty of enemies...

It was tedious, Theres a difference. The difficulty was artificially created by low drop rates, and limited spawn timers (24hr HNMs, etc).

The game was as easy then as it is now. Nothing at 75 was difficult outside of AV, and PW, and I'd go as far to say Botulus Rex is about as difficult as PW was in some ways. (Outside of you know, 2 days and vomiting)
