1. No one wants to party anymore on my server.
2. I have waiting months to get someone to help obtain a 119 Great Axe and still have not obtained one.
3. I have gotten kills on unity mobs and was unlucky, have done Sinister Reign with no luck.

I think 119 weapons shouldnt be as hard as relics to obtain. That there needs to be another pathway to obtain 119 weapons, SOLO.

I do not lack the will to kill NM's, I dont even care about dying and failures, the fact that we have no pathway to 119 except for hoping you get lucky with a gobbie dial coffer, which I have seen someone get the GreatAxe Beheader from Shadow Borealis Coffer.

SUGGESTION AND FIX TO THIS PROBLEM:

Please have solo pathways for me to obtain a 119 weapon for my jobs playing solo. I dont care if it takes me a week to obtain one solo or even a month, please open up a solo pathway for this. Thank you.
While I concur with your frustration, I don't agree with making this game any easier than it already is... Its not even an MMO anymore -- its just a big happy community of I got this yesterday its really awesome... but now I have nothing left to do syndrome... As an older player I have found the major simplifications very frustrating and when I first really started playing the new content, really upsetting. SE has already destroyed its own original content by removing the need to do a lot of stuff people took for granted or Menial.. Which in my opinion played an intricate part in learning to play the game with a community of people as well as just simple game mechanics.

In the past three years every update felt like, "its not fair, it takes too long, I dont want to work that hard" While some of the quality of life updates are convenient they should never remove content that was already developed for the same reason. :

Outpost Warps -> Seekers Warp Thingies -> Survival Guides -> Homepoint warps... Overkill anyone?
Crafted Items / Quest Items / Coffer Items / Maps --- Nothing that used to be semi important has to be done anymore...

"Not trying to be hateful... but unless SE is truly considering making this a full out single player game... While your at it I think you should give me
my vagary wins cause I logged in... and I can't update my Empyreal gear without fighting these things... and they're not soloable... "

Please don't take offense to this post, its just once everyone has everything.... People will stop playing... because without story... Its not "Final Fantasy" anymore.
While Farming Gear is NICE and it keeps me playing with the community there will be a time when I say, "Ok guys I dont need the new gear because there's no purpose
for it other than killing the next new gear mob" and at the rate their giving away gear from "Older" content... You can't even go back and enjoy the older content with people cause everyone rather spam the "Freebee" Gear...

In the end FFXI is not a 1 player game.... and if it truly becomes that--- it will be time to find a new game with the community
because no one will ever need each other again.
