Savage Clear rate being lower the Devs expected, good or a bad thing?

[Kuwagami]

playstation has built-in communication tools you can't argue that voice communication is 3rd party because it is directly supported by the first party developer of the console itself

just re-quoting it for the argument's purpose :

Using third party programs or tools in FINAL FANTASY XIV is strictly prohibited since they allow users to gain an unfair advantage over other players.

This PS4 voice chat provides an unfair advantage over PC players, blah blah blah... See where it's going ?

If anything, you just proved my point : talking about non game-breaking tools as if they were a plague is dumb.

^ This. Communication with your party is playing the game as intended, and using ACT triggers is not, which is what i stated.

No. The game provides you a text chat, not a voice chat. Using a voice chat is (on paper) the same as using an automatic ability caller when you could do it with pen, paper and a chronometer.

In both cases, you're not using what the game provides but rather an external application. You can't nitpick what is good and what is bad based on what you're personally using.

It shouldn't be a problem for savage clear rates to be low. I thought the point of making the easy version was so people who can't or don't want to do savage still get to do something, unlike coil where SE spent time and money making areas and fights that only like 15% of the players were clearing. If anything they should make savage worse to clear so the people who want something hard can toil away in there forever.

serious question : If SE wasn't satisfied with content only 15% of players would ever see, why did they shrunk that percentage down to 1% ? Seems the worst possible decision here.

I mean, story mode was fine, but why the heck would they wreck what was fine ?
