[FEEDBACK] UNSYNCING + DIFFICULTY SCALING

[MistyMew]

It's not cheap elitism when players want everything to be fair. People shouldn't work hard to earn things then players who don't earn anything and just blow through it get the same trophies as the people who worked hard. It shouldn't work that way at all. Maybe for clears yeah, but not for achievements.

you need to go outside ALOT more

The only issue I have with unsyncing is second coil savage. Anything else, it's really not that big of a deal. In fact, I love plowing through old content like that, practically unstoppable and everything.

The whole point of 2nd coil savage was to provide a challenge, there's no additional loot or anything tied to it other than an achievement and title, so why allow it to be unsynced and still count? With that said, I still agree with what some others said before, bragging rights are long gone. Anyone who probably cares enough can probably already tell if someone had cleared content unsynced or when it was relevant.

If you care enough about your epeen and have the skill to do T6S-79S in i110 then you should just kill the current Hard Thing and gloat about that.

To be fair, Olivia has. One of the better Balmung Players. Or so I hear, anyway. I don't think I've been in anything with them since Levi EX was released.

Sorry, I should've probably presented my post a little better - was referring to the OP.

When midcore and casual crowd is victim of powercreep: "Hey, its how MMORPGs are, get over it."
When "hardcore" and cheap eletist crowd is victim of powercreep: "Hey devs, this is unfair, balance please."

This is so weird but I am sure I read your words at least a year ago when Coil was nerfed/DFed. I'm not being rude, it's just amazing how the same arguments are being had repeatedly without those complaining realising that it's cyclical & will always happen.

Elite players have their period of exclusivity when only the best can complete content. That period is the time to revel in your skill. Two years down the line it really doesn't matter. Or at least it shouldn't; if it does then you really need to review your priorities in life.

I agree with your words completely.

I'm sorry I didn't quite catch that through all the caps lock. Could you repeat that?

unsync mode shouldn't be easy mode

[Genosho]

I think this is supposed to be trolling the *ahem* 'elite' players complaining in shout chat....

[Lancelot_Kahn]

I'm far far from being an elist and I absolutely can't stand "casuals" that embraces unsync clears. Unsync option is giving players a handicap mode: 1) they don't need to get good, like ever!; 2) Unsync option should only become available after you clear it ONCE in sync/normal mode; 3) Unsync clears or nerfed content is a complete slap in the face to vet players when done it when things were "hard".

Sometimes I wonder IF current mobile game apps have a better skill building structure than MMO games....you want new contents? watch Ads or get good or pay more money...IF casuals want to pay more money for easy mode, great, I have less problem with that than just nerfing content so more players can keep playing and hit level caps and still dunno how to play their jobs well.

So essentially this thread is upset that Yoshi P made it easier to obtain the Eorzean equivalent of 8 Ball jackets, Hammer Pants, Furbys, Tamagochis and Pogs.

It's so outdated it's really not that relevant anymore. If it gets more people to go go through the game and catch up with us. I'm fine with this.
