Why I have no interest in Coils more specifically, T9.

Also if the only incentive to a particular content is the gear you get at the end, then the content is poorly designed. As an example, there are little to no rewards to playing a game such as league of legends, yet millions of players plays it.

So millions of people play a competetive Free to play game that boasts the worst community toxicity to date against a subscription MMO that already failed once and is growing in its second iteration?

If you believe this, you should already have cleared or be attempting to clear Savage Coil. Just like you say, it's Yoshi's CHALLENGE that will test your endurance like no other! You'll be wiping for hours and hours. It's specifically for those whom play the game looking for a challenge. Right?

Me? I just want to clear turn 9 for to sole purpose of progressing. And I don't want to have to give up my life outside the game to do it.

I guess having a group of people that have lives come together for 6-8 hours a week to perform the fight in a game you say is too one directional or too easy is having no life. You say that yet things like speed runs or FPS tournaments have no sheen because the euphoria of competition and success holds no gain? I'v completed Final coil for my goals, proceed to learn what happened to bahamut after the calamity and get the lootz. I am content with the games level of challenge and can't wait for Alexander to experience even more fights. Savage mode is on my list but because it doesn't yield different loot or story, I am not putting it on the top of my list. People complain about difficulty and monoteny of content they struggle on because they have memories of goldfish. If you can't take on something new, when it is current, learn it and proceed on, how exactly is struggling on old content progression? Call me elitest but why complain about something you can't complete when it is not REQUIRED to access new stuff. If it IS REQUIRED then learn it and do it. Stop being entitlted.

XionAvalonArcadia, please do not quote me and change my words, if you must, use "snip" or a blank quotes, the very fact that you took the time to change my words into something that I never said just shows how mature and willing you are to actually listen to very valid problems that this game will incur in the long haul. Let me make it a bit clearer for you, this game offers ONE challenge: organized memorization.

Like many people are stating the ONLY way to make the game more challenging is to change it before it becomes even more of a problem. What I mean is that the very function of endgame mechanics need to vary up, like my Titan EX example, it was paced well and was challenging at the time of its release, however because the game so far has only been able to deliver this one challenge to the players in the endgame raids. Honestly Cerberus was one of the best mechanics ever put into this game as it was new and refreshing from the same old stuff we have been doing since the first Primal battle. If they continue to develop content that only offers this kind of gameplay there are only a couple ways they can make it more challenging:

1) Make mechanics stack on top of each other or have slight overlaps requiring the perfect precision in order to complete (from the first EX Primal to Bahamut Prime we have seen this as a factor as mechanics are getting closer and closer to one another)
2) Make more dodge/stack mechanics appear in a single battle (which we have also seen from the first EX Primal to Bahamut Prime)


Side Note: Frankly I think the Dreadwyrm gear is the worst gear design this game has put out save for the Magic DPS Soldiery Tomestone gear. So no I do not see someone running around with "shiny" gear and go "OMG MUST HAVE IT AND I DONT WANT TO BE CHALLENGED TO GET IT!" I want a challenge, however I don't want "Final Fantasy XIV: Rock Band: Can You Hit All The Notes Edition" which if change does not happen is where it will go.

Its funny you say that when you compare different content that requires very little attention to detail to do to fights that have more risk/reward. You talk about Cerberus as if it is something new or different because the fight offers spikes of dmg to beat the boss. What if I told you you don't get a sense of entitlement when it allows recoverable fights to be the statis quo? How is FCoB rockband and WoD is the gods end game hardcore fight? People slide by with pathetic dps beucase the fight ALLOWS you to. People don't LEARN their roles when their is no risk to it. No one said you had to like the appearance of the gear, but the stats are what you want. The ability to say, "I have completed this." If not then why do the fights in the first place? If their isn't anything IN FCoB then why step foot in it? You want something but don't want to go through the work to get it. Isn't that the definition of entitlement?

I hope you're being ironic, but if you're really trying to prove a point that you have the entire fight memorized like so.. You're just helping US make the point that perhaps the fight mechanics need an overhaul

This would be true if the content wasn't almost a year old. Because people refuse to learn, you feel you deserve something for applying the time.

You really don't even have to remember all of that. Just key things like not placing a meteor by another meteor or where to go for DBs. I don't see why everyone is saying you have to memorize or study a fight. You can watch/read a guide and get the gist of it and the PRACTICE the fight and you'll eventually clear with like minded people.

You are right, say that 9 months ago and earn yourself some gear. Its funny people complain about learning stuff AFTER it has been Pugicized.
