I hope this game doesn't become like FFXI

You're tired of people saying "crap like this"? Well a lot are tired of people saying crap like this. I can promise you if you went into any form of BC fight unprepared, you'll have at least 10 new holes to get fucked in torn into you.

Unprepared meaning without the"right" gear and the "right" jobs. At the most you just had to stand at X yalms away if you were a caster or had to rely on a RDM to gravity kiting and someone blink-tanking because you otherwise took too much damage. That's not an encounter difficult by design. That's more being forced to avoid damage as much as you can due to lopsided damage taken:heals:MP pools ratio. Again, where's the encounter or environmental mechanics you have to react to? Where's the abilities to interrupt?

So again, how are any of the examples in my last post easymode?
