Game is in a desperate need of challenge.

[LordSideKicks]

Erm.. Try doing Ex Primal with Duty Finder to get that damn nightmare seems challenging and RNG .

[Arkghyom]

Game is boring. What can we do?

[Shai]

Do you have your Nightmare mount yet?

I guess my point is I see all these people asking for challenging content, and yet most of the people (not necessarily TC but in general) have yet to clear all 3 Primal Extremes, have yet to clear Coil, have yet to get every mount (Nightmare in particular) or every minion (Bluebird/Tonberry). There are quite a few things in this game you do have to work for and if you have done all these things, I sympathize. The game is quite boring once none of these things hold any reward for you. Considering Mounts and Minions are aesthetic only, perhaps they never held any reward for you. It's all a mater of perspective. There are challenges there for everyone.

In the meantime, keep working.

People log into the game to have a break from real life, not to replicate it's issues. Did you even think before you wrote that sentence?

Even in single player games there are items only the real dedicated players can get. How many do you actually think got Knights of the round in FFVII?

Do the casuals of today feel so entitled to things, that they must be able to get every piece of gear in game? Those of us that knew we wouldn't get a relic in FFXI never complained about it.

On another thing. I read a bit about how FFXI has become, I noticed it was just after it has become "casual friendly" and a gear treadmill that item requirements for parties has shown up in the game. So people shouldn't really blame the "hardcore" crowd for that.

On a personal level Items from:

- Ex Primals ( Rare Mount From Garuda) and Accessories
- Coil ( For Armor and weapon)

Are hard to get for me

Could we use more hard to get items? Sure we could. The Items can be 100% drop but if you are having a hard time beating it, the percentage mine as well be 2-5%.

You get the best gears just running low lvl content in this game. It's not going to change, everyone gets rewarded.

If phat lewt is your only interest, as I guess it is for you, then you have a point.

[Balfreid]

The Challenge was there before you were in full ilvl 90. Now everything is just a farm fest till next patch
(Grats this happens in every MMO)

If you want a real challenge try doing Binding Coil of Bahamut in ilvl70.
Or queue for pvp as Rank 1 and grind to 30. (Try not throwing your keyboard at your screen.)

What FF game doesn't have phat lewt? I'm going to guess FFXIV is about the only FF game with non interesting loot.

Again with the casual "term"; lol. I know it boosts some people's all time low self-esteem, but isn't it about time we all recognize our addictions? Speaking of addicts, the early relic people of XI. You are absolutely right. Not only did I never complained about not being able to relic my char in XI, I felt sorry for those who were after it. And this is coming from a person who was addicted to that game; but relic level addiction was just too much.

Apparently the game is hard for a lot of people they still can't beat Titan HM.

So I needed 10 more mythology to cap so I queue up for Titan Hard mode why not it gives 10 myth. I did all but one of my relic weapons with FC people actually never beat him in DF. Kind of wanted to see if people actually are good at titan. Did 3 groups and each time 3-5 people would be dead before the heart phase. As soon as it is possible to die after the first phase people died, getting hit by landslide or die to plumes. I watched and saw people just stand there and get hit off by landslide, or just stand there when plumes come out and die.
