ffxi should not be this easy

[rog]

And what I was saying is that we're not level 99 yet. Why would we have the best events now when at 99 they'll be too easy? Wait until 99 then determine if the events we're given then are too easy or too difficult. Otherwise there's nothing to be complaining about.

If it is too easy at 90, then it is just going to be even easier at 99. They could offer us challenging content now, which would be made easier later on, which they could fix by adding new challenging content.

Any job can do it really. It does require a number of people constantly helping (particularly with the empyrean in 5 days), but nothing i said in the OP is impossible. Except maybe the missions, because of jp midnight delays? Too lazy to check if there are ever more than 2 for a set of missions.

this thread feels like 05-09 = "Wahhhhhhhhh its too hard I have no friends to exploit all the drops in an hnm shell"

abyssea comes out "wahhhhhhhhhhhhhh they listened to casual players years of complaining and finally gave them what they wanted but we're still not happy"

ffxi has never been hard, it just became less of a time investment. The majority of the playerbase wanted it easier, Well you got your wish, now shut up about it.

Weird, I don't remember the hardest of the hard being soloable in 2005.

No, ffxi was never that hard, but it at least had a little bit of a challenge. It is not just about the time investment. My complaint here is about difficulty. They are two unrelated things.

If you call EXP'ing to Lv30 -> Skyrocket to Lv90 (Abyssea KeyLeech) and 9 different Abyssea zones to farm in all day "plenty of content", then I've no idea what to tell you.

Um,.... have you forgotton all the money we've forked out for all the lovely expansions and add-ons over the years? Besides the obvious other content (ZM, CoP, TAU, WotG, ACP, MKD, ASA), there is the original quest/mission tracks for fame/rank/gears and other in-game event stuff (chocobo raising, racing, pankration, ZNM, crafting, Garrison, Expedition, Moon, Sky, Sea...) There is a heck of a lot more to this game then just Abyssea.

And if your best thread is to troll and make a mockery of other people who are actually serious about wanting a dynamic MMO with adventure, storyline and exploration, then everyone who pressed your like button in previous posts should be ashamed.

Sometimes I wish there was an html tag we could use to denote satire/sarcasm in here. It's called "using an absurd example to display the absurdity of a situation".

You need to ask if this is a troll post? Isn't it really obvious it is?

Err, I asked how long they played, not if it was a troll post...

The game isn't as hard as it used to be, but still has challenges. When you can solo Rani or Raja 'easily' or Kirin 'easily' then the game has gotten too easy. They did make the Wyrm King fight too easy with brew and that's a shame. But some of the old ways were crap. CoP was too hard (and I almost quit way back then over it). But Nyzul Isle is still a challenge. Limbus, Einherjar, VNM T3, etc is still challenging. If you're not doing those then you're missing out on alot of the {fun}.

Just coz they made Abyssea doesn't mean you have to spend all day, every day there

To me its still 'just a game' and shouldn't involve unbelievably hard content that can't be low-manned by seasoned players.

Both are soloable, and kirin can be duod.
