    These two sentences are really funny. You know why ? Because FFXIV gives the possbility to solo your job to max level thus some players are terrible in Duty because they never learned how to play in a group.

    The game should put more focus on group play. Instead they just dumb down everything more and more so that any half competent group can clear anything while watching netflix. Even a basic strat like Steps of Faith was "too hard" just because people has to follow directions like "use the canon" or "fire the harpoon". If they can't apply some basic group strat, they really should quit MMO.

    I've played DDO too, and frankly, the game's a mess when it comes to MMO philosophy. First, balance is totally non-existent. Second, you have no group structure or dynamic. The only thing that the game provides is tactical play and clever use of your environement, like any solo game can do. And since everything is an instance, there is also no sense of community out of towns.

    Easy. Go to a dungeon with 3 friends, and ask them to leave. And when you get your ass kicked by the first pack, you'll realize why you won't clear the dungeons by yourself. But, I Wonder. If you only want to tackle content that you can clear solo, why do you even bother going in the roulettes, since you could win the same thing without any tome gear ?
