A friendly warning to SE: Do NOT turn FFXIV into an Asia Grinder!

[Pantz]

Atma/Animus/Novus are obviously intended to be grinds. No point if everyone can get them easily within a few days. It serves as an alternately pathway to those that don't want or cant clear coil. Would it be fair to coil clearers if everyone can just get Atma/Animus/Novus easily? If you don't want to clear coil, then do it the grind method.

Also, Sightseeing is not intended to be cleared right away. If SE had not included weather requirements, people would probably have cleared it already or in the next few days. What would be the point then? Take it slow. It's meant to last a few weeks or even months to keep people occupied while SE makes other content, be they grind or non-grind content.

And yes. SE is an Asian company.

then relic should always be EQUAL to coil weapons...always. then its fair, then the choice truly is a "choice".
thy need to cut coil completely.

What this game really needs right now is means for players who are neither hardcore raiders or grinders who want to play a few hours a week and still make progress, because that is not an option right now.

Why not, for example, have a weekly repeatable quest for an atma that can be done in an hour, but locks the player out from acquiring any more atma for the remainder of the week and cannot be undertaken if a player has already acquired an atma for that week? Slower than grinding FATEs, but casual players would have their Atma weapons in 12 weeks without having to sink 40 hours into the game.

And add an equivalent of rested bonus for tomestone acquisition so a player who only does say 2 dungeons a week can walk away with say 200 soldiery and 400 myth a week. Again, slower than grinding, but again, players who only have or want to sink a few hours into the game a week can actually make progress in the game.

Most of the Content is exactly like that, so how is that not an option?
