Who is gonna raid now with the iLvl 110 gear handed to people??

Well lets see.. The history of MMOs has showed us what? Oh that's right every MMO with in depth large amounts of high end challenging raid content are STILL AROUND. Also making profit and retaining a subscription based model.

Don't you feel even slightly disingenuous calling EQ1 or EQ2 a 'subscription based model'. How does paying an extra 10 bucks for a second attack animation for your OP vampire race qualify as subscription in your mind? Also pretending ToR's issue was just raiding. Honestly, you can make your argument without these crazy untruths.

If you think ff14 is OMGWHATISTHIS difficult, great, good for you. I don't find it that difficult and your interpretations of what I say are just that, your interpretation.

For a guy who gets so crazy about people putting words in his mouth you sure like to do it yourself. You're just all over the place. Try to make a different thread about raiding in general if you want, but in the context of them deincentivizing raiding yes the content being easy is probably a big reason of why it's not a big deal to the developers. We're talking about where the game is now, not your ideal MMORPG. The content's easy so it's not that big of a crime they pass out some of the stuff.
