I appreciate that. I just don't want them to make it ridiculously easy so players are disappointed by the lack of challenge.

I remember spending ages trying to get my Darklight and being proud when I got full DL. Now I can gear a job in a day. Cuts out the fun I had before for newer players but maybe I'm wrong.

It's just moving the goalposts, i90 will become the new i70, 6-9 will become the new 1-5. Therefore people will complain about 6-9 lockouts, and the lack of DF for 6-9. 1-5 will be a faceroll by the looks of things so its just all part of the parcel of nerfing old content.

People didn't want the DF added until it was nerfed as old content, which is what is going to happen.

1-4 is already faceroll. Except maybe 2 if you don't enrage it.

I really love the direction they're taking with this game. It gives everyone a chance. It's coming from someone who has his character fully decked in 90s (even Allagan weapon) and the hardcore players still enjoy what they like best: Doing the cool stuff before everyone does it.

But they also let lower level players join in the fun eventually. I think if any game'll succeed this one will.. I'm sure people who think their time spent on being the best have been wasted will leave (hell, 3 from my static has said they'll quit over this), but on the other hand this will attract new people. New players= fresh life to the game, more subs.. And those new people aren't missing out on anything, because of the lockout removal.

Wait, what? A hardcore player that can actually look at content growth and vertical progression in a logical manner without wanting to fundamentally change the entire game? What is this i don't even--*head explodes*

Each turn will have it's own entry in the Duty Finder and can be completed in any order with no restrictions.

Loot however is still up in the air. I suspect they will have a 1 item lockout per turn.

Pretty much everyone looks at it logically - The problem is some won't accept any point of view of unless they personally agree with it.

Wharrgarbling about their "hard work" in a game isn't logical. We haven't devolved to the level of screaming welfare epics yet, but that would be the next step in that mental decline.

I've received mixed responses from this, but most are happy that lockouts are removed. But usually the most elite of the most elite would say something along the lines of "So we've spent our time being the best, keeping up to be the best for nothing? gg se"
Now, if that situation actually happened in the real world.. I'm thinking stuff like internet. You used to pay $100 a month for dial up and now your kids get fiber optic with half the price? I've wasted 10 years of my life!

Then again, i kind of understand the feeling of those who has tried their best just to sort of "keep up", because I try to do that too. Winning new bosses within 1 week of release, not missing out on loot of any kind.. hard world eh

Mixed responses from friends and FC mates, some love it, some hate it. But hey, the more accessible it is, the more players that will get to experience it. The only thing I'm wondering about is T3, I have a feeling the Q's for that is gonna be extremely low. lol.
