Locking Voracious Resurgence Missions behind Completing Rhapsodies?

[Pixela]

I love how so many people just assume that every post someone makes is for selfish reasons, it's not. It's about the game, it's about new players, it's about long-time returnees that might come back with less than stellar gear to do the new missions and were unable to clear Rhaps last mission. Yes I can clear it, that's not the point.

One of the problems with this game is that too many people only care about things that directly impact them, they only see an issue with things that directly impact their progression.

My main issue is posts like this that attack longstanding game mechanics as bad game design when they're not. The game was designed and meant to have a natural progression to it. It is only natural for some features to depend on others, and complaining about it purely because that dependence served its intended purpose doesn't make sense. In particular, placing content behind these barriers is in part meant to ensure that when you are able to access the content, you're reasonably likely to be actually able to participate in it. What if Dynamis in the old days didn't have any prerequisites? You'd have people stumbling upon the dynamis enterances and find themselves pursuing access to content they shouldn't be trying to participate in.

The point is, these limitations normally exist for a reason. They aren't there just to annoy people.

And you say it's wrong to assume that these posts are made for selfish reasons, but that is really the only reason to make them. The player that makes such a post (not explicitly this one but any such post) implies that they feel they're entitled to do something jthey can't access just because they found out about it and it exists, while not acknowledging that these boundaries exist for a reason. It might not be the intent, but that's how such comments tend to come across.
