Please, Developers, Please! Put an end to Easy Mode thinking

[DoctorMog]

I'm not aware of anyone saying it should be made easier. Why does gaining access to a new feature come down to a choice between making it difficult for someone with a mountain of rank 50 classes to obtain or nothing?

My mountain of rank 50s has NOTHING to do with having difficult content in this MMO or not.

Right now, there is no challenge for even the casuals.

While I understand the OPs point.. wtf do you expect? if you do a rank 10 quest at 25 its going to be easy, you used the worst example ever. If you actually do the quests at the proper rank you get a bunch of sp and they are normal mob challenge. Its your own fault for making it easy. If I play FF7 with a gameshark and complain it was too damn easy its my own fault.

Yaknow, after reading your earlier exchange with me, I decided to go back and read a lot of your old posts. And I've come to the conclusion that you're mostly just a troll who likes to complain a lot.

If you don't like the game, quit. But please stop with the constant bitching about how nothing is challenging at all, because A) it's simply not the truth (you're not downing Headrip Ogres without a challenge) and B) it sort of makes you look like a braggart and a jerk.

Agreed...

Im sure most people , especially the casuals would disagree with you Mr. Mog. Don't try to even pretend you understand what a casual player finds challenging because you are so far beyond their level you can't begin to understand that lowbie lifestyle.

Perhaps you should, I dunno, try reading the posts you're responding to? Here's what I wrote:

Most players haven't ran DH successfully three different times. Into the Dark gives 4k seals; without doing that (for which you need an R45 char and a bunch of other people to do it with you) you can't get the 3k you need to get the Chocobo.

So, you are perfectly incorrect. And not only that, but I would submit that it's only 'a joke' to you because you've played way too much of this game. Do you honestly expect content to be developed centered around what would be challenging to someone who has r50 in tons of different jobs? Please.

Dear Cyclo: I remind you that this game has been out for ONE year already. I have ONE (uno, 1, ein) class at r50, and another one nearing it (go check my character in the Lodestone). I play an average of 2-3 hours, two to (perhaps, now and then) three nights a week. Do you really think that constitutes playing too much? Besides, who are you to tell us how much we may or should'nt play?

Don't read me wrong, I want the developers to take their time doing their developing. This is NOT another rant about how slow the patches come. I have no problem with waiting, but I want the waiting to be for something stimulating. And I want the stuff to be stimulating, yes, to me! (Albeit, from what you write, I understand that this might sound obscene to you.) And, of course, I also want it to be stimulating to everybody else.

But, pray tell, since when do I NOT COUNT?

[Cycloptichorn]

Seeing as I wasn't responding to you with the post I wrote, I have no idea where your fit of rage is coming from.

The idea that having a chocobo to ride around on isn't 'stimulating,' because there's no quest for it that is challenging for an r50 player, is ridiculous. I can't say it any clearer than that. The quest would last what, an hour or two? We don't even know because it's not out yet (not that this has stopped you from bitching about it). But you'll be riding around on the damn thing for hours and hours and hours. Is the method of delivery of the content really more important than the enjoyment the content itself brings you? I say no, it is not.

Ok, I now realize you were the OP; and yes, I found your OP to be ridiculous as well. I'll give you the same advice as Doctor Mog: suck it up or quit. This constant whining that emanates from some players here is unbecoming.

[Gidonoidon_Sur]

I agree with OP. Make the game harder. Divine Might. Diabolos Prime. CoP airship fight. Give me some difficult quests/missions. Hopefully, primal fights will be a challenge. And just to be clear, I don't want unnecessary obstacles (taking long time, requiring 18 people, redic pop conditions) I just want the fights themselves to be a challenge.

I support what I believe in, and I speak my mind on things I disagree with as well as the things I agree with.

You do the same thing, everyone does. Basic human rights.

Don't get on my ass about my opinion. Everyone's opinion is equal and we all have a right to share it.

Yours is no better than mine. Get over yourself.

Of course. I'm just pointing out that while exercising your basic rights, you're coming off as a braggart and a jerk. You might want to look into that.

Not just because being a braggart and a jerk is a bad thing; but because it makes your message much less convincing to those who read it.

IF we're gonna talk about difficulties, let's go with something that actually scales. In EVERY ASPECT of the game.

I want an option for "Easy" "Moderate" "Hard", for Dzemael Darkhold. Otherwise, my friends are quitting the game and I'll be all alone! ;-;

To be frank, THEY aren't happy with only one difficulty mode for all of the content (aside from Leves, that was so well-done and well-thought out...), that they've started thinking about going to GW2.
