So glad Yoshi-P got all of our letters saying "We want more Brayflox!"

Difficult means time now a days.

The problem that people have is that the new weapons aren't "harder to get" at all. They're time consuming and boring, anybody who repeats the same small handful of content required for these as many times as they need to will be burned out of that content, I really don't think it matters how fast you choose to rush through it, by the time you're done getting a weapon I doubt you'll have much interest in doing that content anymore.

I would personally be very happy if the weapons were actually hard to get rather than boring to get. If you honestly find 20+ hours of fate grinding and 13.5k+ myth (not including this new need for myth) entertaining then more power to you I guess but when these weapons were released a large majority of players had already exhausted the content you need to do to get atma/animus weapons (fates/old dungeons) with the exception of the new dungeons, which there are only 3 of and at this point are becoming exhausting as well.

I don't really see how reusing this content and forcing people to do an obscene amount of it does anything but burn people out, it's certainly not hard, at least in my opinion.

If you do not like THIS option, there are more options for you. Leave it to those who actually does like grinds.

Are there a lot of people excited about doing this themselves? I haven't seen much of that so far.

I'd say the older generation of mmo players are the ones relatively exited about this. 10-15 years ago MMOs were nothing but massive grinds.

If you look for them on the forum, then that is the wrong place. 3% of the playerbase sitting on the forum complaining about it, is not really a great sample size. Since fates are more packed than usual at this time of the day and i see a good amount with animus weapons doing them, idk. Either they do it just for the sake of it, or they actually working on alexandrites.

Personally i enjoy this "option" and SE is not forcing anyone into this route, since they gave more options.

Just because people are doing it doesn't mean they enjoy doing it, people do things they don't like doing all the time in order to achieve something, work for example.

I have to agree with the guy you quoted in this sense, about 2/3 of my friends list have quit in the last month while they were working on atma or animus weapons and I've yet to meet a single person in game who actually enjoys this, at least the fate grinding part of it. I'm sure they exist but from my perspective, they are few and far between.

I knew someone would say that and to be honest, you should consider re-adjusting your priorities. Why for gods sake, would you do something in a Game, which you do not enjoy? I must have missed that memo about Games being now a Job.

1 gil for each time i read that and i would be a gillionaire and beside that, if those statements were true.. the servers would be empty. Sorry, but i've seen just a handful since day 1 who did actually quit and that were not for reasons related to the Game.
