triggering weakness

[Lanette]

I'm sure many of you have noticed the direction end game has gone for FFXI. Hunting NMs and standing around till the weakness is triggered then kill if it hasn't died already for even killed the party. Many of you are angry that your Main job can't trigger anything so you just stand there until you are given the go to kill. Small groups with only the jobs that can trigger, so expect to level one of those and make it your main. We have to do this to get the gear we want so expect to do this alot....... how do we all feel about this?

I think it is great.

Almost everyone hates it, as almost everyone said in almost every other thread about this.

Then again as the population starts to drop and servers consolidate due to the popularity of FFXIV, it will all work out fine. :/

Looks like it's never going to work out then D:

How you could say "popularity" in the same sentence that has "FFXIV" is a paradox. You forgot the "non-" part.

Anyway, we're screwed. Why are we collecting this gear we never get to use because they're for jobs...we never get to use...to get the gear...

Two paradoxes, one post. They said it was impossible...Oh crap, that makes 3 paradoxes.

I assume you have statistics to back this up?

Indeed. Very official statistics:

I would be interested in seeing statistics. I don't see SE polling to find out, but we can look and see other threads. Its more of the direction the game is taking. Raising the level cap so we can low man everything. Removing the level cap on events so again we can really low man everything, then see low lvl gear crash in price so no one bothers to make or sell. It really started when we started getting down loadable half ass expansions with reused zones and items. Its still fun, yes its easier to get high level gear but i was just thinking about the whole think when my LS was going after NMs and I was just standing there on my smn doing nothing until weakness was triggered and by then it was already 90% dead.

Looking at threads on these forums for an idea of how "Most people in the game" feel about an update is like looking at a third grade classroom for an idea of how "Most people in the country" feel about foreign policy.

Are you going to argue with me that over 60% of the initial population whom first joined FFXI, were NOT fans of the Final Fantasy series' previous offline installments? It's quite obvious to come up with certain situations that don't require statistics, such as "Most people will say: putting your hand in boiling hot oil, hurts"

She is not calling out Abyssea directly just because she refers to it, she simply realizes the direction this game has taken. There's no specifics or statistics needed when it comes "how a game feels". FFXI came out with actual expansions in the past, that offered new area's to explore, new Jobs to be played and detailed missions, involving intricate storylines.

Now what do we get? Re-hashed old zones with new monster placement and few throw together cut-scenes.

SE needs to stop worrying about putting money in their pockets, and start worrying about making a quality game.

And if you think these forums are meant to complain to SE all day, most of you need to skillup... Because I can complain better than 80% of you out there. No statistics needed.
