How do people calling themselves casual feel about the difficulty level?

[Kuwagami]

Two hours a night is kinda hardcore wouldn't you think?

cutting people's sentences is good if rightly done. You forgot "each night I don't study for exams" and I happen to have exams or just work to do very often. Also, even if my playtime is (no point to deny it) fairly high, if mostly consists in running around in Eorzea. I roughly use the teleport function, just because the world is beautiful and I have a nice chocobo/magiteck which can carry me everywhere.

Please allow me to restate my point. I did post a lot of statistics that either some people may not agree with (didn't you kind of do that as well to dispute me? where are you getting your numbers from?), or perhaps, maybe my server leviathan is not typical. We are both stating numbers based on what we have both observed. So I don't think it's going to do any good for us to go back and forth on this. We see what we see, it's not like either of us have done or can actually do a test to get statistics.

Actually, my numbers (the precise ones I gave) came from previous live letters or interviews. I'm still trying to gather them back. (to be fair, the 5% on Titan was in december, right before the 2.1 patch. There were also like 0.5% who did beat the game at that point). Yours only come from the highly crowded areas, which are filled with bored top tier players every day of the week past monday. Not quite accurate I should say, and it's not only on leviathan.

It seems you say yes. Ok, that's totally cool. If you think about it, that's why I was asking. Thank you for your input. I guess I am thinking you are taking offense like I'm doing a whole hardcore vs casual thing. That is a dead horse I don't want lol.

Not taking offense in any manner But my statement was more something like "Not necessarily more difficult but more challenging every day. Not something hard the first 2 times and then boringly easy". aka pharos sirius over copperbell HM
