The War of Playstyles

The problem is, if crafted/melded gear was as good as Myth/Allagan gear, then a person could simply RMT a few million gil, but the best armor in the game and be done with it. As is, you have crafted gear good enough to get you started on your way at end game, but you have to spend time/work for the best gear. If not for RMT, having crafted gear to equal end game stuff would be completely fine. As is, obtaining said gear would be as easy as having $100 to buy the gil.

I honestly believe by catering to the casuals that the whole genre of MMOs have been dumbed down to the point that we now see in current day MMOs. Speed leveling, useless crafting, duty finders with nasty players or the worthless players who don't bother holding up their end, small open worlds, teleports to everywhere....heck I could just go on and on. Granted there were some bad aspects to the old games but there was also a lot of good aspects. The old games it was about the journey towards max level with raids at the end but now its a rush game towards cap. For example this game, it really doesn't prepare you for difficult content along the route. You rush to end game and don't have a clue on how to perform well hence all of the deadbeats at end game.


I think the crafting system would work better if you didn't level up so fast and if they really went after the bots gathering mats. Heck you can just check the market and then check the accounts of people who seem to flood the market with raw mats like crystals. Flag the account then catch them botting they ban them.

I want to enjoy fighting mobs for hours and hours when chatting with nice people, then enter a super hard dungeon that is fun to challenge with friends and simply beating it is its own reward. Any drops it may give me is just icing on the cake!

Yeah I miss chatting with people. I miss grinding mobs and making friends that way or by you know walking and traveling to an instanced entrance or dungeon D:

Now I'm sad good job v.v

That's just this game, none of the newer mmos coming out are like this and none of the previously released ones are either. I personally don't think this MMO is for anyone that wants a challenge or has played a mmo before.
