Daily limits are an outdated mechanic

Hvinire, I swear I am nothing short of honored to have a staff member reply to my thread :) But nonetheless, my response:

I understand that this feature was implemented with a certain functionality in mind. I also understand that there are currently any plans to change the system. But I beg of you, please don't let that stop you from reading and taking into consideration the opinions of the players that posted in this thread. Many players have expressed how they feel this system is not ideal. Many people here post that this game is already too watered down because of casual players. Well let me tell you. I am a casual player, and this game is most definitely NOT that casual friendly in terms of progression. It is definitely friendlier than other MMO's, but still not friendly.

Thanks again for the reply!

In terms of beast tribe quests, that isn't progress, it's more of a sidequest. As for the duty roulette daily bonuses for those who log on every day, that's exactly what it is, a bonus for logging on. They aren't punishing you for not logging on, they are simply rewarding those who can. Philos are ridiculously easy to grind now anyway.

All you get from the dailies are some mounts. I don't see what's so heartbreaking about not being able to log in every day to do them on a schedule. You'll just get the mount a bit more slowly than the people who do log in every day. This is such a dumb thing to cry about.

I do not see a problem with how the dailies work. You can easily kill 'two birds with one stone' by doing the dailies while waiting on a queue to pop. I tend to queue up for PvP matches while doing my dailies, which is a perfect choice because the queue can be either long or super short. You can queue up in PvE gear, join the fight, and switch to PvP gear with all your cooldowns reset before the match begins. People who like to do roulettes could queue up for those while doing the dailies, too. There are tons of things you can do at once. The dailies don't take long at all. Sometimes I feel like people are just looking for things to complain about. =/ It's not like you get amazing gear or anything from the dailies... just an aesthetic mount.

If this is how it really is going to be then I'm disappointed in dailies altogether.

Why can't you put in a limit per beastman group instead of six to be divided between all of them?

I think you need to see this from both sides. The casual gamer finds this game too "hardcore". "You have to log in every day to clear stuff". The hardcore gamer finds it ridiculous content gets nerfed and casuals can clear the same content while facerolling. <--- examples

Solution: give the hardcores a reward (clearing content w/o echo buff rewards allagan gear where the text on the item, when you hover over it, is in green instead of whatever the standard color is). Im making stuff up here, just to point out how a minuscule change can have a huge impact.

Let the casuals refrain from dailies without losing the option of obtaining gear, completing story mode and whatever other argument has been made. Let them be able to do the same content, whenever they like, with assistance if they choose to do so.

I don't see a problem other than the casuals screaming that hardcores are being rewarded and they're getting nothing.

You are not forced to level other classes, but without swiftcast (only one example) you can forget endgame...
What is important for someone isnt for the other! So stop complaining if others say "must have"...
Dailys is just one single example of beeing "forced", there are a lot more who miss cross-loot, just look at stone farming (only for basic gear and NO weapons!)
SE is forced to add similar gear just because the ability to gain them is too specific and no cross-loot, so we end up in a balancing issue all the time while they could have solved the issue much better - other MMORPGs already learned their lessons...

Also, No one is forcing you to run this content for some "must have" reward. The content locks you out of nothing but a pet, a mount, and a few dyes. Hardly a big deal.

You need up to 45 minutes for 6 dailys (depending on some conditions more or less timeconsuming) and SE will add at least 2 more tribes in near future, that makes it 90 minutes. So you will tell me they stop adding primals and beast tribes? How naive! Furthermore the dailys will not stay at this level of friendship, we will get more quests... My bad, if I join FFXIV next year i will never be able to finish any of them because all is set up for those who daily logon - look on achivements and "when" you are able to "achive" them. New players are on the bad end of the robe... burned
Enter a themepark, pay for a rollercoaster and then after starting: "Reaching the finish line - lext year"... locks you out from doing other rollercoasters in the same park, because forcibly having to ride the first one till the end...
About the "force" ... yea, true just jump out in mid air :)

All you get from Ex primals is a weapon, next you tell us we can skip that too?
All you get from CT is just ilevel80, next you tell us to skip there too...
That kind of arguments make me sick, you can not tell where others have fun in!

You do realize Twiggy is right? They are adding Shagin and I believe Kobold for Dailies. Not new races as in playable races. Get your head out of your ass.

Players that do not or cannot put in the same amount of hours as other players that can, and then complaining they can't get all the rewards too. Good lord....gamers these days....
