Punishment or Advantage?

[ManaKing]

There are 4+ story lines to work through that give you things like Rajas, Suppa, and Moonshade Earring. There are things to do that would benefit them that dont have to be aby, vw, aby, vw, aby, vw.

If all you have done is burn a character as fast as possible and are just chomping at the bit for, imho, the lamest content ever created that only functions to get you gear, then what can i say. The game takes patience, it's always been that way.

ive been playin much longer than he has and he had 5 mil gil to waste in a day. i havent had more than 3 mil ever at once. if he had 5 mil i dont undeerstand what he is bitching about

you are doing something terribly wrong

[Suteru]

As someone who was a moron and didn't start the VW stone countdown until I came back, stop whining. Do campaign, get AN, use that AN for voiddust.

The op has made a very good point, this game is currently all about abyssea and VW, The old content is dead and is a serious pain to go through.

Sure is, assuming you completely ignore the 8 years worth of content that preceded it......

What is this "suffering" anyway? It's ridiculously easy now to get to a high enough level to complete nearly all of the old content solo, even COP no longer has level restrictions. Just because someone wants to skip over that entirely and ignore the collective 10 years of game content doesn't mean the end game systems are broken. If you choose to only engage in two things in the entire game and you run out of resources, that's really a you problem. There are ample other events partake in while your stones replenish.

Even people who played the whole time and had already consumed much of that content had to wait for stones to build up, big deal. Go do something else for a week and come back.

This new revamped way of playing is seriously way better than the old ways. Everything is made very accessible and you have several options on doing things. A lot of ridiculous non sensical time sink have been trimmed. Traveling is made faster. The problems with all the noobs and returning players are they are stuck in a rut that is abyssea and voidwatch and do not bother to do other things. There are neo dyna, nyzul, einherjar, limbus to do. You can still do the old salvage as well. BCNMs are more accessible too, and there are still the level capped one if you want challenge. You don't have to go to skill ups in abyssea, farm kindred seals while skilling up. SO MANY OPTIONS!!! But you need to READ, RESEARCH, and LEARN - there is no free ride in this game, put some little works.

I want to know where he got the 5m.

I agree on that one.

Also isn't it fair that older player have the resources to do the events without much difficulty because we have been playing longer? I would be upset if newer players didnt have to put effoet into things that i had to put effort into.....

Ask anyone how they can make +1 mil in less than two hours...
I am disappoint
Are we serious here?

yes we're serious, i'm a casual player i make money slowly, its ok to ask right? excuse me if i ask for something i dont know, i'll never do it again (sarcasm)

Traverser stones are not a big problem. Learn how to TE, get TE, love it. You don't need someone to get magic kill shots to get azure, either.

Voidstones, on the other hand... kind of a problem now, especially since it doesn't look like we're going to get a 3rd KI to reduce the cooldown to 8 hours instead of 12, like we can with traverser stones... and unlike traverser stones, voidstones are kind of a requirement, not a luxury, for its associated activity. Yes, you can do campaign battle for a couple hours to get a set of 6 voiddusts (which will be gone in like, a maybe 30-minute average voidwatch session...), but I don't think the people who actually like doing campaign battle realize how many people there are who don't.

IMO it should have been possible to get the cooldown on voidstones down to 4 hours. That would be a set of 6 per day, which is the maximum capacity and is the amount that people usually do in a set of VWNM runs nowadays, anyway.

But since I'm doubting they will do that, I'm hoping they allow some sort of traverser stone -> voidstone conversion at some point. Most people have a 4-digit traverser stone stock nowadays whereas they are dried up on voidstones; we should be able to put the traverser stones to some kind of use.

They dont want people to spam VW all day long - unless you are willing to spend money. The way things are is fine, great to prevent major rush on voidwatch to ensure that people will still do this for a good 6-8 months.

Look at any of the new/revamped events. One of them you can solo/dual-box for the win.

Choose wisely.
