How come we can't play with friends?

And this is different than any MMO how? If you don't have the best gear now your considered bad. Find me a SMN running around in spell speed armor and lets have a discussion on what the general community thinks of this person.

You know the difference between XI and XIV? Your going to have to totally replace every slot every 4-5 months because that gear is now totally invalid. So when you spend 4 months farming those BiS legs and a week later they are worse than group gear. Come back and tell me how you feel about this subject.

Very good points!!! I don't know how many times people are like "GTFO, YOU NO HAS GEAR!!" FOR A FREAKING EASY FIGHT!!!

Nothing in this game requires effort. ._.
Need gear? That's fine spam this faceroll dungeon for tokens
Leveling? That's fine spam these faceroll zerg fests aka fates

Amen. "Crap it's Friday and I need 150 myth to cap"

/queues for roulette
/autofollows tank while fairy does the work and I spam physick to look like I'm being important in this super hard dungeon. and watch a movie or play FF tactics on my phone.

It's super hard Faedden. I have to do this for a whole 3 hours a week to cap myth and get raid gear!!!

Exactly and it's funny because the proponents of "hand everythign to me on a silver platter this model is fine" actually have to deal with this MORE because their gear turns to complete shit every time new content is added.

"Hardcore" MMOs (in their opinions) like EQ and XI.

New expansion comes out? Ok my raid gear is still better than group content time to go work through the new raids and replace my gear.

EQ I literally change gearsets once a year. XIV I will likely have gone through 3-4 sets of gear by the end of the year because they will make what I'm wearing crap. But apparently the people who want everything handed to them also want to have to hit the destroy button on it every 3 months for fun.

Omg that is so horrible! They make you put forth that much effort and here are these horrible people suggesting that add open world content that requires a brain...How dare they!? I don't want to have to compete against others and actually put forth a tiny crumb of effort.

I'm Rokien. I don't play the game no more.

So you only have 1 lvl 50?

[Mikara]

So you only have 1 lvl 50?

It doesn't matter, even if he leveled every class to 50, there would still be as close to 0 open world content as there already is. You are missing the point of this thread, we shouldn't have to feel like the duty finder is our holy savior, and without it's guidance we have no chance to get anything worthwhile.

Edit: In before someone stupid says "Coil isn't part of duty finder, that's where all the gear is." Coil is just another version of the duty finder, except you don't get paired up with idiots and trolls that are doing stupid shit because they are bored because this game lacks any decently challenging content.

I don't mind the Fates I just wish they added higher lvl areas that would challenge i90 geared folks with i70+ Fates, I would be more than happy with that.

Is this why no one likes Pharos Sirius on roulette?

[Zarzak]

To be fair Coil isn't exactly challenging.

People pug 1-4 every week the only "challenging" content is EX Titan, EX Ifrit, and Turn 5.

And even then most of that is just a matter of finding 7 other people who know fire burns.

Any content you can walk in and say with 100% certainty you will not die until a wipe is too easy.

Hell Titan I follow some dance I don't even understand anymore. I move left sometime... Right others. And it is consistent every attempt. No real reason besides those are the DDR moves I learned.

►▲◄◄◄▲◄◄▲▼► is the cheat code for titan dead as a melee. The fact that if I wanted I could actually write out a exact step by step movement is sad.

AGHHH!! I miss that game so damn much!

lol that made me laugh, the only challenging part about titan is fighting the lag.
