Just play the game....

This is Sammmmmyyy Redeye , Posting from work, wouldent let me log onto my main account.


So i read the forums often, seeing all these people QQ about the game. It really bugs me to see people say the game is too hard, or say only certain jobs can do what ever they cant do. Back in FFXI pretty much everything in that game took months if not years before ppl figured out the easy way of doing things.

Doing COP missions was the worst, but you know what, when i did get it done i felt really good . Knowing that i did work and got it done was great. It was a few years before they dumbd down COP missions and now its a cake walk.

FFXIV is still in my book Beta, and i really don't think the game should be made easy for everyone, yea so what if your a casual player, maybe you only have 1 job to 50, boohoo, i dont think you should be able to complete the 45 raid, put some more time in the game before you start to wine you cant do it.

I was kinda annoyed that i saw someone post they are upset they cant to the speed run, and there upset that its best for ARC's to use for DD. maybe they forgot or over lookd that you only get a BOW and SWORD for the ARC's and the tank that will be there doing the speed run. Shouldent he be wanting to do normal runs...? I mean if he wants a the BOW , lvl up ARC and go on that job lolz..

Yea iam rambling, but i got time too kill here at work, ill post more when i think of more to complain about :D .


Sammmmmyyy

in after elitism.

I disagree with you sorry

People shouldent expect to play a game for 2-3 months that is made and designed to last for years and be able to beat everything and have everything.

And people shouldn't expect other people to tell them how they should or should not play or what they should and should not expect in terms of content. Time is not a good measure of difficulty or value.

seems like 90% of the compliant forums are from the people who cant do this or cant do that, demanding that he or she should do this to fix it...

Simply pointing out the fact that they shouldent be complaining is verry reasonable.

I call troll. Nobody really makes banal threads solely dedicated to pointing out that QQ exists because people want instant gratification.

As a fellow troll, I would like to take a moment to critique your work.

First of all, you give examples that are too specific and hold some element of truth. By definition a troll point is essentially self-contained, because it CAN not provide supporting evidence.

Secondly, you purposefully use the term "job", knowing that it sets the FFXIV trolls into a club-pounding raage. There's no excuse for terminology mishaps on Al Gore's forums! This is the correct use of trolling but you don't apply it often enough.

Third, you derail yourself several times. You should choose 1 facet of the game which gets QQ'd over often, provide an overly cynical outlook on the situation, claim or imply that you speak for a large portion of the community, and reference facts that may not exist or apply to your argument whatsoever.

If you must include more than 1 point of contention in your attempt to troll, clearly separate your thoughts with transition sentences such as "lollerskates" or "roflcopter".

And finally, you lack anger young one. For this thread to be successful in this format, you should be apparently seething with raage so as to draw the largest crowd of hater haters.

You have much to learn but I am looking forward to your future works.

He didn't say you HAD to do anything. He was making a suggestion.

Personally, I disagree with you. Time is a good measure for difficulty. Want proof, read a gaming magazine or one that reviews games. One of the criteria is time needed to play/finish and the ability to play the game IF or after you finish.

As for your content staement. Again...don't see anywhere he says what anyone should expect for content. LOL We as players know what we would LIKE for content.

I take professional reviewers about as seriously as I take burning clowns. Time as a measure of difficulty or value is not a good metric due to it's high subjectivity. The very fact that we're debating it proves my point. I've played 10hr games that were worth every penny I spent at full price and played 30hr games that weren't worth the cost of the disc they were pressed on. I've also played games that were very short and very difficult along with ones that were long but stupidly easy. Time spent means nothing. How satisfying the content is to the individual playing it is all that matters.

The problem with MMOs comes in the fact that everyone is playing differently and views the content differently. The hardcore want timesinks to prove they're hardcore, the less invested players want accessibility. Guess who's gonna win? The days of uberlong timesinks in MMOs are pretty much over.
