Take it easy on the Nerfing :/

You say that, but I'm fairly sure SE just took an extra cost adjusting Steps of Faith...

Indeed. They had to patch something that was apparently too hard. Maybe next time they will make it easier in the first place. Unfortunate, I know.

There are these things called genres... Or do you really think SE is trying to appeal to the mobile app demographic with Final Fantasy XIV...

Not necessarily, but I am sure you get what I mean. The age of DAoC or UO is gone. WoW created a new genre tbh, a "new way of experiencing MMOs", and if you want to join the market at this point in time you, as a developer / publisher, cannot disregard that.

Standards, mostly. That's why, even though I'm not particularly fond of the Souls franchise, I have a great deal of respect for its developers.

I am a huge fan of Souls games. I know that challenges are what make a game (or anything in life, really) enjoyable and satisfying. Still, we must face the truth that the majority of people do not like that.
