What is a MMO to you if not an online game that is a social hub?

That is one of the factor That kept me playing gw2.

Different games have different styles. The style of this game is to focus everything around the story. I agree that it would be nice if they had an alternate route to leveling (other than buying the jump potions) for those that aren't into story but they feel this is what is best for their game.

Mod your lalafell into the other games you enjoy playing.

I imagine we all have things we hate about this game not to mention other games we also play. It's all about finding the game that gives you the most enjoyable time.

If FFXIV is still the one despite the flaws you see, I hope you continue to enjoy it for a long time.

I still see the bees in Qarn killing players in unwary groups as much as Doom does.

Using hunter traps strategically in WoW (before the trap launcher was added) was fun times. Crowd control in PvE was an interesting part of game play that I personally miss, but it's sadly something most players hated because they want to speed run through content and the need for crowd control was an obstacle to that.

I wonder what MMORPGs would be like today if more players were interested in truly experiencing games and thinking their way through them instead of rushing through to collect from the loot box at the end.

most changes happened because someone said do it or you suck and we kick you from DF.

The more logical way to handle this situation would be to make it challenging enough such that chain pulling is not possible because you will die. Then it'd be up to the group's skill for how many groups you can pull at once.

Incidentally, I was killed by one earlier today while running it unsynced for a piece of gear

To be honest, I haven't ended up in there since they went and reworked a ton of older dungeons so I just assumed those bees got axed during that process. Good to know they're still around aside from the small group out in the world for Blue Mages to learn from.

The days of Amdapor Keep and Wanderer's Palace speed runs when a tank could pull the packs to the boss and would stay on the edge of the boss zone as someone started the fight and then the mobs got locked out and reset.

Now with Dungeons, They suck.... Yes they are pretty to look at but once you get done doing it once theres no need to go back. and its the same cycle, 2 packs, Wall, 2 packs, Boss Etc.... Can we change it up a bit??? Why arent we allow pull more than 2 packs of mobs?? I like to pull as many as I WANT, not what the game tells me.. Theres so much hand holding in this game now. its crazy

last, FF14 doesnt feel like a MMO anymore.. it feels like a Social hub.

the 2.0-6.0 msq is pretty good. i would recommend doing it anyway. dt story will be trash like that filler void ark.

It wasn't possible a lot of the time and the party did die and the tanks would just keep trying to do it anyway. The walls are necessary to keep a lot of tanks from trying to pull more than they have any business pulling.

Are all of your posts just nitpicking everything you see in the game and turning into something negative?
