It is? So you are saying that it should take a day to get a relic? Or level 50 in a day? Why extand that even past one hour heck one minute! There is no need for you to take longer than it should.Quote:

10-20-2012, 04:24 AMRokienThat's just an opinion to me it's still super fast, why the rush to end game? Seriously there is no adventure in that. I see it as a journey, not a grind, a journey should last a long time, not a week.Quote:

As it stands now all the sub 50 content, items, areas, etc are pointless and they'll remain pointless if people just blow through levels before any of it can be enjoyed. Just look at itemization as a great example of whats wrong. Most people don't even buy most of the sub 50 gear because they'll blow through the levels it would be used in anyway. -
10-20-2012, 04:29 AMLirionHyperbole much? Who is saying that it should take a day to get relic or take a day to get to max level? People are saying some stuff should not require a party, levelling your character should not require a party. If I have one hour to play and want to to level my character I should not be required to spend 20-30 min to create a party, then get to the camp to finally start levelling for the 20 min I have left. Of course partying in groups should also be an option, but this forced partying for everything mentality is a relic of the old and I'm glad Yoshi know this.Quote:

10-20-2012, 04:30 AMStarlordYeah I know, FFXI was great for it's time, but taking hours upon hours "just to get into a party even" is just tedious and boring, I'm assuming that's why they double the max exp per kill (not abyssea) from 200 to 400 on first kill. That's why having "Soloable" content, when you don't have that kind of hours to play is a very good thing to have. I do agree that, FFXIV ARR needs to have a good amount of content, @ launch to hold us over till first patch of ARR. Needs a Balance of Solo/Duo and Full party Quest/missions.Quote:

If leveling up was the core mechanic (meat) of the game, Then what exactly is everything else then Rice and beans? Leveling up is a "process" that take either little or a lot of time, depending on the vision of the game and how it's made. Leveling is what you do along the way, I don't consider that meat, if it was... it would get very boring after awhile, if there wasn't other meat to eat :P.Quote:

Content to me should be the meat and potatoes of any game, If all you had was leveling then the game wouldn't make it very far at all.
I couldn't have said it any better myself. Bravo!Quote:
