Raise/Ressurect too low

[Cairdeas]

It's pretty damn insulting to go from ffxi, which was epic difficulty and forced you to socialize, to this game, where you don't have to try hard at all. I didn't say I was so "Cool" and all that. You said that. I don't think I'm better than everybody else. I'm pretty average skill and achievement wise, and if you knew me in the game, I'm probably one of the more helpful person you'll know. I just want a challenge dammit. I want that feeling of desperation. A quadriplegic can get rank 14.

Time=/=Difficulty. A huge majority of the stuff in FFXI was not Difficult, it was time consuming.

Hell, I soloed Rank 3, 4, and 5 because I could. They were easy. The only difficulty I had with any of them was bumrushing Castle O past a bunch of true-sights to trigger a cutscene. But even that was easy with Whm/Nin, Stone Skin, and Utsusemi.

Events that require more then one person are even easier, the only thing difficult is getting the people together, and when I played XI I was in some of the larger social LS's which made doing so really easy. Hell Sunday nights was Delkafutts night for us, anyone who needed it I'd run them up to the 10th floor to get their key and get their cut scene in the basement.

I love love love this post so much. Thank you. Certain FFXI players are just so confused about what makes something difficult. Having to stand around doing nothing for hours waiting for something to pop is not 'difficult', it's just time consuming. Getting raise at 25 instead of 14 is not more 'difficult' it's just unnecessarily stressful. Sure, it might feel more 'rewarding' and more of an 'accomplishment' but that is not difficulty. Strategy, tactics, using your knowledge; now that's what I want to see and that's what I consider difficulty.
