Make FFXIV more like FFXI and less like WoW

[CrAZYVIC]

The Fans of FFXI obious will defend FFXI and the FANS of WOW will defend the Casual Systems.

FFXI was the hardest, challenging, time consuming, grindy MMRPG i have played.

Speaking about FFXI LV 75 era.

1.- In FFXI you had Farm/Craft everyday just for make "Gils" for your consumables, Food/Oils/Prims, or gear for your job, for accomplish this every day a Great Mental Strength was needed.

2.- The end game content was exclusive for Hardcore players. This end game Linkshells forced you things lke this.

a) You need have a DPS/TANK/Support job leveled for to be allowed "Apply"
b) This end game linkshells Ran events. Sunday - Thursday 4 - 5 hours per day and they ask for a mandatory 75% attendence or you are Out
c) You was requested for camp HNM, with timers over 24 earth hours. Sometimes you had competition of 50 players for claim a HNM.
d) For to be allowed play as DPS in this Groups. The leaders parsed you vs their static DPS. Using equal buffs and after a reasonable amount parses if you cant KEEP up with they then you never was allowed use you DPS class even if you was a Relic/Mythic Holder.

This kind of things happen all time in FFXI. Maybe is the reason for FFXI Fans ask for "Challenges" and find ARR a very Casual Game.

The players came from WOW/AION/TERA, or probably ARR is their first MMRPG. Dont like the idea of have "Hard mode 24/7". WOW was the alternative for the people were getting tired of FFXI and moved a more Friendly and Casual MMRPG.

I played FFXI and WOW several years. For me WOW was always a "Picnic" and Relaxing auto pilot mode. Compared with the Hell i had Live dealing with FFXI Years.

If i had to pay for my Sins.... I did that in FFXI...
