FFXIV: The State Of Raiding

[Kaurie]

Did you miss the word ONLY? Because that was a pretty vital part of his statement, which I do actually agree with. It is sad that there is only one form of content having relevant rewards in the game, especially if it is unpopular. Well, that and the moneysink relic.

Something that I do hope SE will fix somehow. Horizontal progress is important in an MMO in my opinion to keep people online and active. As it is now many people log in one or two days per week, do their lorecap + raid, and then log out for the rest of the week.

He said that the only progression endgame content is raiding is a waste of time. Not, the only raiding content is X. Therefore, all raiding content, as endgame, is a waste.

I agree, some form of horizontal progression would be nice. However, I feel the chances of getting anything more than what we have now is extremely low.

I also agreed with some of his points - it would be nice if there were raids with dynamic difficulty based on number of players (similar to how WoW works), so that you are not restricted to exactly 8 players. I also dislike the jump rope mechanics, as he called them.
