Done!

[OogaShaka]

I am done, insane relic quest lines,waiting hours for fate spawns for books/allied seals, no easier mode for raid content so I can see the whole game, crafting items that take a million mats to do.

Listen most of us have real jobs we have to work and a life we want to live , I am casual but I also want to see all the content I am paying 18+ dollars a month for. I don't pay this to sit and wait for some stupid fate to pop for 2 hours AFTER I GET OUT OF WORK!!!!

I am taking my money elsewhere maybe the 10% of hardcore players that love camping and grinding will be able to pay your salaries.

Well, that's par for the course for an mmo. Some of us like it, some don't. Best of luck to you

FFXIV is easier then a lot of the other mmos out there maybe you should try a different genre of game.

Perfectly understandable (I abandoned the quest at the Nexus stage upon hearing I'd have to spam dungeons over and over again for the Zodiac). Work on fun things like EX Primals or even Coil. It's what I did

Zumi, they have a job and want to spend their free time playing a game. Not spend two hours waiting for a FATE to pop (which should be nerfed to spawn every 10-15 minutes. It's not even considered a grind waiting for something).

Nothing forces you to play the game.

Nothing forces you to get a relic weapon.

Nothing forces you to do any content at all in the game.


The entire game is NOT going to wrap around YOUR work schedule. Ever.
If you simply don't have the time to play an MMO and would rather invest your time elsewhere, then there's absolutely no need to tell us.

II am casual but I also want to see all the content I am paying 18+ dollars a month for.

MMO Raiding/Dungeons/Weapons/Gear are notoriously grindy to obtain, if you were expecting to be spoon-fed all the content in the game then your expectations were set far too high.
ARR already spoon feeds and hand-holds a vast majority of the game, it couldn't really get any easier at this point.

The Final Coil of Bahamut isn't a proper raid without the time investment, the learning, the wiping and obtaining new gear.

A Relic Weapon (based on XI) isnt a relic weapon without the monotonous grind.

Top Tier Crafting isn't top-tier without spending the time/effort/money.



At the end of the day. You're playing a game.

By definition, something that is supposed to be challenging. If it doesn't present a challenge it isn't really a game now is it?

Oh I know what they mean I quit wow awhile back because I didn't want to spend 40 hours a week doing progression in heroic raids. FFXIV is much more laid back in terms of how long it takes to beat stuff. I am saying if your looking for a easier mmo you probably won't find one.

Having raided in WoW recently (played since vanilla, game is super meh right now), I much prefer the way Raids are handled here in XIV.

Somehow, they manage to feel both more relaxed AND more challenging at the same time. Getting my Twintania win (I haven't started T6 yet) so far has been the single greatest feeling I've had in an MMO Raid for a very long time. It just feels like an achievement.
Same with the Primals, Because we do not need to waste 2/3rds of our time in the raid clearing trash and running back after wipes, it just feels good when you finally get the win.

Thats my take on it. I'd rather we didnt have Echo, though i understand why they did it.
The Raiding here is damnably accessible. Again, moreso than any other MMO I've played in recent years.

Just that MMO is not a "genre" its a network setup!
You can "clasify" games with MMO when differ between network types as single player, multiplayer, online game,...

Have you guys noticed when there's an overly dramatic post, you look at the poster's portrait and it's almost always a Lalafell? What's up with that?
