Because everyone pays the same subscription.

are you ignoring how many things theyve made easier? did you have to do brayHM speed runs for hours, just to try to get a somewhat decent amount of myth. now, theyve made it so you can hunt, get 90 gear and myth insanely easy. oh my god, they took away the rewards for B ranks! now i cant get a reward for the hunts i didnt even do in the first place! get over how they make things more challenging, and be grateful for what they are making so much easier for you

We dont ALL pay the same price for a sub.

Which is why a player populated test server has great merit.

RIFT did it and people loved playing on it to see the new stuff and to report the problems before the code got pushed to the live servers.

People don't play on test servers the same way they do in game because that's not where their real characters are. Nobody would spend 18 hours a day for a week spamming hunts in a network of linkshells on test servers because they won't see any benefit; their main character is on X server.

I was waiting for the obligatory post patch complaint/rant thread. Just like clockwork.

Did you miss the other 50?

Except your not paying the same.
If you were paying the same as us, you would have been able to do those things when they were unbalanced.

However, if you joined after or were not paying during that time, by very definition, you have payed less.
Thanks. Cya

There were guilds that only existed on the RIFT test server and they raided and did content like any other endgame guild.

So... just because you wouldnt.....

There haven't ever really been adjustments to FATE XP, to my knowledge, or if there has been, it wasn't enough for me to remember or care. All they did was change how many available content options there were to level. Like upping XP gain in dungeons, adding Beast Tribes, etc.

Leves actually got FASTER leveling for DoH/DoL, so I don't know why you're spreading the misinformation that a patch lowered the XP for that. All any XP rebalance for Leves did was cut the amount of XP added for HQ and tack it onto the amount of general XP for completing the leve because not everyone can HQ everything. So instead of X amount of XP for NQ and triple that XP for HQ, it's now a higher amount of XP for NQ and double that XP for HQ.

The whole Titan-egi tanking Ramuh EX was an obvious development oversight. Any idiot could have seen that.

I never farmed anything on hunts before because I hate the entire idea of being either yelled at for attacking too soon or getting nothing for attacking too late. It's simply not fair at all.

The pattern is seen every patch because some things from Patch A usually have unexpected issues and aren't fixed until Patch B, unless it's literally gamebreaking, in which there is a special hotfix.

This whole argument makes me wonder if we shouldn't put back the gamebreaking glitch in Labyrinth where people who use Return after the Iron Giants show up in Atomos. No one else experienced being forced to duty abandon labyrinth, so why not let them? I mean, clearly your logic is infallible so that would absolutely be a good idea, amirite? Or how about removing gil drops from enemies because no one who ran them before 2.05/2.1 got any gil drops from enemies at all.

A proper test server would be nice so we paying customers don't have to do it for them.
