ffxi should not be this easy

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.

I am being serious here.

I did not misrepresent my desires for the game at all in this thread. I made up the friend finishing the game in 6 days, but that was just to illustrate a point. Just because i made up an anecdote does not mean i am trolling.

Feel free to argue my points for what they are, and not ignore them because you know i like to troll. Trolls can be serious too, fyi. Do you think the game is too easy, too hard, or just right? I made this thread because i believe the game is too easy, and should be changed.

Guess you guess either glossed over pagte one, or didn't read it at all. OP already stated this was a made up scenario to illustrate how absurd things are:

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.

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".

It is not about the lack of content. There is plenty of content in the game. The problem is that all of the content is far too easy, and offers to real challenge.

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.

cmon Rog. Really? You do know that after this post, you can't do another like this for 3 days right?

...which job did he take to 90 that he could do that in? I think I'm on the wrong job...

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.
