This patch dropped the ball hard

[Jetstream_Fox]

ITT: People who rush content are complaining that they can't have everything they want in the first day when the content is released.

I recommend you to play another MMO, a f2p one where you can get everything if you pay for it.

Again no one is complaining about getting it immediately. It's the fact the process that we go through literally takes about a half hour to an hour to run the required content and have to wait a week to play the game meaningfully again. The fact locking trade in currency at a low amount forces players to wait unnecessary long time is getting tiresome. Nobody wants it right away, we want improvements to a system that isn't any fun to work with and becomes a massive chore rather a fun experience.

Why are they social death traps? Im not sure what you mean here.

People hit the Cap = Done Farming = Less People Queue'ing for Dungeons = More Queue Time = Other People suffer
The same also goes for the Weekly Lockout for Items.
People get their Weekly Item = Less People Queue'ing = More Queue Time = You know...

It was common that Monday Syrcus Tower Raids were dead, while the next Day when the Reset hitted, you could Insta Queue or had to wait 5 Minutes for it.

Their server probably has an abundance of the type of people that whine at their party for not doing amazing in a dungeon when they are trying to get capped tomes

Ive never really seen many, if any, of these toxic people in my server before so I am not really worried about it

The esoterics should come from ex primals or something IMO. I think during HW i will slowly wane myself off the game and start looking at other stuff, I highly doubt I'll buy another FF14 expansion. Not because I don't like the game but because I don't like the carebear community

And this is why I've hated the hardcore playerbase for years. The blame rests on the "carebears," which I guess I'm a part of since I don't agree.

If you look at my previous post, I described what was happening from my perspective. I've been running dungeons on and off for the last three weeks, yet in less than 24 hours every party I'm in has some player who now expects perfect performance or they'll start harassing players. May I remind everyone that DF gives you a random group, and there are many new or inexperienced players out there who use the same tool. I've had to defend a newbie healer from a hostile tank who wanted to chain pull everything when the healer was under geared for it, calm down an argument between party members who got irate over a minor mistake that cost us nothing in Neverreap, and other issues. It's tiring to have to play referee on every dungeon run.

I wouldn't normally complain about anti-social players, but the sudden change in how frequent I'm encountering them post patch is like night and day difference.

This was/is my server to a T. Things were awful, then they got fun and even down right chaotic when they took the lockout off. It was enjoyable, what's not enjoyable is having new content running it, then never touching it for a week.

Wouldnt removing the lockout/cap make it so people stopped queuing after a week or two? The whole point seems to be to make it so people come back week after week. This seems like a good thing.

So what do you suggest? If they remove the cap, the segregation between those who have time and desire to grind for everything will be wider. It happened just right now at 3.0 with Law tomes and hunts. It also will dry up these players with the same issue: they won't have anything to do.

More content? You know we already have tons of it, for different tastes and playstyles, and that it gets updated quicker than other MMOs.

Wouldn't be a bad thing if like I said it wasn't too restricted. If you go with esoteric gear you're forced into doing Savage Alex to upgrade it to be on terms with upgraded Alex gear. Which in turn has to be acquired through another weekly restriction. There is no fun in having to wait a week just to do this.

Well that be up to the player i mean {you're forced into doing Savage Alex to upgrade it} your really not some of us my self as well don't give a crap about having the top ilvl so 210 can kiss my bum lol ill be happy with i lvl 200 gear since you know wait a lil bit and SE will make stuff more easy to get or add new gear :P

Tons? Such as?


You realise it gets updated faster because they release less then other mmos do in a patch, right?
