Aggro Icon

[Rowyne]

What does keeping track of mileage in your head have to do with recalling which mobs aggro and which don't?

Because there are people that keep claiming that it should all be done from memory, instead of something that makes your life a little easier.

The aggro icon itself isn't the issue, it is the mentality people have about it. What is so wrong about it? Is it because it is ugly, or because it is too helpful? Any feature that makes the game easier to play gets large amounts of hate from the Hardcore players. This is true of all games. The reason people hate the Aggro icon (Other than it being ugly as Gary Busey) is the simple fact that Hardcore players don't want the new players to have a luxury they didn't have.

I think you hit the nail on the head, Wooba. I think there's a lot of misplaced annoyance going on about this because of the 'old man' syndrome (see this thread). Just because we didn't have it back in our day, doesn't mean it isn't a good idea now.

FFXIV needs to move into the future. Evolve or die.
