What 1.0 Did Better...

You want to know what these "snowflakes" does? Just read other thread complaining about Alexander normal raid mode. Which is piss poor easy if you read wiki on step by step and three minutes video showing you what is coming. So what's your damage Heather?

HAHAHA, ok. Now, lets get to the meat of the problem here with this game, which is what you said above. THIS is why this game is doing badly. Once again, How dare you tell people that they need to learn their role, calling them names like "snowflake?" and that after playing what you agree is a single player game the majority of the way; that all of a sudden when they go into a dungeon, which they have to enter and complete to move story along that they have to know a role they never had to fulfill? And on top of that, telling people that play the game thats its mandatory to go online and read or watch videos of certain aspects of the game to be successful? And this is how to "win" at the game? This is horrible game design. THIS is why this game is starting to show its flaws.

What the hell do I play the game for if i can't customize, can only sparingly interact with others in an open world MMO(Second letter stands for Multiplayer), everybody has same attacks rotation and usage, wearing same gear, and watching same videos to be told EXACTLY when and where to dodge every time, every fight? Why play? hand the damn controller to SE and just watch a damn video of someone else playing. Is this what you pay 15.00/month for? And this is acceptable? Do you pay for a car for someone else to drive while you watch? Do you pay to take someone out to dinner just to watch them eat? Do you pay someone to work for you and collect your paycheck for themselves? WTF is wrong with you people? I know. How about you all pay me to play your game for you. Signups located in the back by the watercooler. If you are thirsty, you can watch a video online and pay the person standing by the water cooler to drink water for you....SMDH.

The game looks like it's doing pretty well actually.

Once again, How dare you tell people that they need to learn their role, calling them names like "snowflake?" and that after playing what you agree is a single player game the majority of the way; that all of a sudden when they go into a dungeon, which they have to enter and complete to move story along that they have to know a role they never had to fulfill?

There is enough collaborative content in this game that players should take the time to learn their role. I agree that calling names is unnecessary, but the main point isn't wrong. There are plenty of resources, even just reading the tooltips and reasoning out a rotation is a start.

If you walk into a dungeon in the wrong type of gear (stated for a different class for example) and mash buttons that make no sense, you're asking for the criticism you'll end up getting.

And on top of that, telling people that play the game thats its mandatory to go online and read or watch videos of certain aspects of the game to be successful? And this is how to "win" at the game? This is horrible game design. THIS is why this game is starting to show its flaws.

Your opinion. I'm not seeing the flaws you're seeing. I agree on the video thing and honestly, I did a few of the dungeons in HW blind and it went pretty well.

Every MMO endgame pushes you to optimize to clear content. The content is tuned for it. As for interaction, I'm not sure what you're seeing, but my experience is very different than yours. I have frequent in game interactions with other players both in and out of my FC and linkshells. If yours is sparing, you may want to look into finding a few linkshells to join or a more social FC.
