Game content is full of mistakes...much worse than FFXIV 1.23

[Kallera]

They're right though.
The way certain things worked in 1.23 are flat out better than the way they work in ARR. I wouldn't go as far as the OP is saying, but some of the good things were definitely thrown out with the bad.
Just look at the new hunts, mindless zergs. NMs in 1.23 were at least kinda neat.

Complaints about the mob AI are sadly not new...

But he called Dynasty Warriors stupid! That's not cool.

Though I do understand where he is coming from with the comparison, the AI there (at least as far as DW7E) isn't too stellar. (I think either 3 or 4 tried making the peons' ai like officers on the highest difficulty, damndest thing I ever saw.)

That's an opinion. Try looking beyond it and towards the greater points OP is trying to make. Analyze and consider them. Draw your own conclusion and respond fairly.

My opinion is that I agree with a lot of what the OP was saying. Except for his taste in Dynasty Warriors, and I understand why he made his comparison in terms of AI.

I remember complaining about the typical mob AI being brick dumb. People thought the only other option was doomvoid guivres everywhere. I was hoping for a balance.

Novus...well I haven't finished atma so I'm a little biased.
