I play FFXI instead of WoW because in FFXI it takes time and affort to make worthwhile achievements. Because these accomplishments are more challenging, they are also more rewarding. I achieve a greater sense of accomplishment from each achievement I perform in FFXI than I ever would in WoW.

Yup you're good, when someone hits 'view tag [dev1000]' this thread comes up.
Volkai, I respect your opinion, and maybe what I said was a tad bit misunderstood. As I said in my post, I hope SE keeps some of the difficulty in the game, because just like you, this is the reason I play FFXI and not WOW.

But there has to be a balance to the difficulty. Up until now, frankly, getting a relic in Dynamis is stupidly difficult. People without the proper connections (or butt kissing, or their own personal rotating gil seller website account) didn't have a prayer to get a Relic even close to done in an "acceptable" amount of time.

Do I think that people should be able to crank out a relic weapon in a week? Hell no, that would be going WAY over the line. But taking years if you don't kiss the rear of a linkshell leader? I have never done it nor will ever do it. Elitists suck, period.

Relics have been promised by SE to be upgraded so they will be the best of the best again. And frankly making it a more level playing field to obtain a relic is a dam good thing imo. I just hope they don't make it into Abyssea-Dynamis.
