FFXIV has lost it's magic

So getting to 50 in less than 2 days is a challenge?

No, but neither is shouting for 2-3 hours to fill a group that disbands after a few chains out in Yhoator. You also died and lost all the exp you made, making it a completely wasted experience that accomplished absolutely nothing.

Nothing in FFXI was true "challenge." Just very primitive and poorly made time sinks.

Challenge is good, I also welcome it, but not working for something = no challenge.

I'm doing plenty of work myself, but I can't say why due to the retarded post limit.

The general understanding of MMOs has evolved. Extremely difficult content that only 1% of the population can clear due to lack of accessibility or other kinds of problems is pretty meaningless.

An MMO is about an interactive and cooperative/competitive community that bands together. Who cares if not everything in the game makes you rip your hair out.
