A Simple Lack of Fun

[Xoo]

OP is just asking for easy-mode..quick and unchalleging leveling, to reach max level asap. It's hilarious that he tries to agrue that it's not challenging, but having all this trouble handling one link around his level.. For the record, and seriously no offense meant, learn to play. Complaining that it's too hard and YOU can't EXP as fast as you want to nemore, isn't going to get you anywhere, except another game.

The new system is light years beyond what is was, and the Dev's actually brought back a little balance to the grind. Just because you reroll'd and lost those two 50's you likely grinded in a few weeks on the old system.. Come on..

Where in my post did I say 1 anything? I believe the number was more akin to 4. Then again, you didn't read it, so whatever.

No I read your post.. shouldn't have, but I did.. I was only giving you the benefit of the doubt because the fact that you are admitting linking, lets say 4-5 mobs (happy?), repeatedly negates your entire post. Clearly, you are doing it wrong. But since you prolly won't recognize that fact... because you think everyone is linking 4 mobs, and noone can efficiently solo nemore.. correct? Yeah.. 'whatever' is right. Fail on young one, fail on.

Linking 1, 2, 3 or 4 - it doesn't really matter. I'd like to come watch you solo sometime since we're on the same server.

EDIT: I really hope Exni is an alt, otherwise don't bother.

All BS aside, I love to see Xoo taking people to task on this. What say you, Exni? Humble the man, if you're so confident.

Ya, I think the biggest issue right now is the population overall is pretty bad. So with a lack of a decent party search function, ALL this forced grouping stuff is almost pointless. I came back for the first time in about 4-5 months, game looks great, runs great, everything's improved... but there's 0 shouts going on in Limsa and Gridania and hardly ANYONE around. "Go to Ul'Dah!"... I don't want to, the place is ugly, bland and you shouldn't have to travel there to get a party.

I'm ALL for what they've done patch wise so far, the gear, the exp, the combat, it's all great. When you can't find anyone to participate in it with though cause people ignore you, or there's simply no one around, it becomes dull quite fast.

I get that those with established shells are probably having a blast, but every time I come back, my 5 shells are empty and so is my flist.

Msg me ingame, I have a couple shells you might enjoy being a part of, pretty active, lots of good times.

I hear you, and would love to see an "easy button"....a simple feature that can auto group you with people of your level range. I know many vocal people would hate this...but i think a lot of people would enjoy this...especially us casual players who dont have the time to put together a grind party with the 2ish hours they have to play.

I previously paid no attention to what server you were on, or perhaps I'da offered that myself. Though it bothers me even more now that I know you should have had plenty of opportunity to ask that of the slew of players on our server prior to coming to the forums to rant. Exni is a mule, Exn is a main on that server.

Miraa, am I to take it that you too are no longer able to effectively solo? Gawd forbid your having issues on your arc, so I guess I'm only asking for any lower levels you may have..

GAWD forbid!

I have no opinion one way or another. I've only played a few hours of 1.19 and I'm perfectly satisfied with my character at the moment. I just like calling out mean spirited people who like to pull out personal insults the moment someone disagrees with them. If you're gonna be that much of a blowhard, put up or shut up.

You know what amazes me is that opinions seem to be divided evenly amongst people who want some solo/low-man content and hardcore nuts saying LOL TEH GAEM WUZ TOO EZ. I think that proves to Square that there needs to be a balance between the two. Pre 1.19 it swung too much towards the solo side, and now with 1.19 they swung it back towards the party-based side. Both sides need to be taken into account since there seems to be an even number of people wanting to do BOTH.
