Main Story now for the hardcore elite only

[coffeeking]

well I rather spend more time gearing up and becoming more skilled instead of beating the game with ease...

[Ensign]

The only difference with "hardcore" players is they know when to dodge, how to dodge, and where to dodge.
Haha.. challenges are to be expected and before launch Yoshi did promise an equally challenging end game as FFXI.
Several month process to earn top tier. Challenge accepted. At the same time the game is VERY casual friendly.. Doesn't take long to get as geared as "hardcore" players.

[Gandora]

There's the proof.

SE are making Hard and Extreme modes part of the main story so only hardcore players capable of defeating the hardest content in the game will be able to continue the main story.

So for the majority of players who will never beat Titan HM or beyond the Main Story ended with Praetorium.

Time to look for another game it seems.

Damn, being expected to have middle level gear and dodge AOEs, how pretentious of them.

They should instantly give you all rewards and put you in a new hall of fame, you're such a deserving guy, do not let anyone tell you otherwise.

Ban hardcores, let the revolution begin.

Also, I want pizza.

Lol people use terms casuals and hardcores. Hardcore doesn't mean you're pro in this context. It means all you do is play ffxiv all day everyday. Casuals just have limited game play time. Being a casual player doesn't make you a bad player.

with the duty finder roulette bonuses now, you get 300 Philo for a main Story Roll which in 5 days is 1500 Philos if you run it once a day. You can get your Chest and Leg piece of DL no problem with that. 70 Myth for running High level duty finder once a day makes it less grindy no as well. 70 in one day? Thank you very much. At the rate you can acquire said tomes, it i much easier to be geared for the main story quests, primals, and hard mode dungeons. I don't see a problem.. Thanks to the DF roulette I was able to get 3 new pieces of DL in one day (my jewelry that I've been loathing to get). Run roulette for a week, get some gear, participate in the higher end content.

Edit: I see you haven't reached level 50 yet so you haven't even completed pre 2.1 so I don't know how or why you're complaining yet....maybe you have another character under a different name but from i seen...why are you so uptight at level 40? You have a ways to go before you get to extreme primals.

[Reeth]

Or just find a static group of 8 people and start running them until you down them.

[homunyan]

If you play 4 or 5 hours a week you can go from just hitting 50 to being geared to fight extreme mode primals in under a month. If anything getting high level gear is too easy and I say this as someone who doesn't play a whole lot.

OP the relic quest chain, HM primals, Coil and now the EX primals are NOT part of the main storyline. They are all side-quest content aimed deliberately at the players that want a challenge.

The storylines involved with these quests expand on things in the main story but they are not required to progress the main story.

Think of coil as that one super hard dungeon with a secret boss that every FF always has. It's there for those who want a challenge.
