FFXI fixed!

[Mirabelle]

What's ironic is, the ones most likely to use cheats/gimmicks/hacks/most efficient path of least resistance are the elitist hardcore players.

This so much. NNI was meant to be hardmode. What did the hardcore do? Found ways to exploit the system to get their gear.

What else can we expect. New hard content? 2 way to solve this problem:
A.) Whine about how hard and ridiculous such content is.
B.) Find a loophole, obtain all your gear, whine about how easy rest of the contents are.
Enjoy the game for what it really is? such illogical thought should be banished!

I think as it is the game is pretty good in terms of hard/easy content and rewards for such content. Those who truly seek challenge for the thrill and to test their skill knows that it's there. This is the same deal as Zelda's heart. Don't tell me people who skip getting hearts in Zelda is purposely gimping themself and that's not a good game design. It was purposely left as an option for a reason.
