Why I Decided to Become an Elitist

[GenJoe]

All these clarifications(some of them still generalized and ignores the fact that important story content was behind things a large chunk of the playing audience could not see

and if you'd played other MMOs, you would just accept that as the norm.. Which circles back to my earlier argument that majority of FF14 player base are first time MMO players and have different expectations.


It's unfortunate but what can you do? Implement the end-game raids in a manner that ANYBODY can just go in unprepared and beat it for story?
Or don't put ANY story behind the end-game raids at all?
I suppose a third solution exists for SE, to implement 2 different difficulties for each raid, but the lower difficulty version would have to give lower lvl loot, which will make the raid obsolete very fast.

There's no easy solution to please everybody. It's an MMO, people just have to come to grasps with the fact that they will likely not experience 100% of the content the game has to offer.

At least in this game, the old content will remain as is so you can always experience it later when the content becomes obsolete and nerfed. Don't have time/money for the relic quest all the way to zeta? Wait til 3.0, they're going to nerf that. Don't have the time/skills to clear final coils? Give it time and try when it's no longer relevant, likely after 3.0.

My suggestions may sound ridiculous, but so is expecting to clear end-game contents without putting in any specific effort.. If you're not willing to put in the time, you're not really in it for the challenge, so why not just wait until the challenge is gone? Story will still be around later, at least be glad that the World in FF14 remains the same after the expansion so you can always experience the old content at your own pace..
