Can we stop destroying the solo part of this game?

I agree with you OP but the problem is too many people of this community are stuck in 2003 old XI mindset where if its not slow 3-5k exp/hr party grinds then its too fast thus horrible and Easy mode.

It really makes you wonder how this game can ever turn around when you have people who are so stuck on the FFXI ways of old that will end up holding back the game because the dev's are trying to please everyone.

No, because people actually like playing in groups -- The only people with problems are those who want to solo an entire MMO and SE isn't allowing that.

Also, adding in XI was unnecessary, pretty much every MMO has group content and group grinding, it's only recent MMOs that pushes "Hey you don't need to play with other people to play our MMO!"

Having to group to progress through content that starts after one reaches the level cap = OK, not well, you better party otherwise its going to be so slow you'll want to stab your eyes out = fail and reeks of 2003 mentality.

Only the FF community continues to make such a big deal about the pace of leveling where other successful MMO's that have made a ton of money start at the level cap and offer fast paced content. I guess you FFXI purists want to prance around in town and say "LOOK AT ME, LOOK AT ME, I'M LEVEL 50!!!!!!!" give me a break, stop the special snowflake crap already.

I find it so funny that people sit there and complain about how fast people level up in this game since it released where as in other games the pace of leveling is such a non-issue because the challenge begins in gearing up by fighting some tough content.

But lo' and behold, you FFXI purists sit there and think the only way people should level is by grouping up which can take hours to find a group of your leveling range then riding out to the said camp hoping its not flooded with other parties.

People should be able to level at a decent pace solo, sure it might not be those 100k+/hr parties but atleast people should feel like they're accomplishing something.

There we go. End of story.
This thread was never aboput party's..
We all know partying is easy and is for people that like to lvl fast.
i rather take more time and enjoy my game longer.
And when i reach lvl 50 i can say i did this on my own and not i did this with the help of 50 others that had a few lvls more then me and killed everything for me.
You all like to party good i don't care, I like to solo. Get over it already.
Been saying that for 6 replies now.
Everyone plays a game the way they want thats why games are there to have your own free time and choice.

Funny, people who like to solo are telling people who like to party that it's an outdated playstyle, so I think it's not the people who like group content that needs to "get over something".

I don't see anything in this thread asking for solo only content, generally most solo vs group threads consist of you and your buddies saying making ppl group is a good thing. Whereas the solo players aren't asking for things handed to them like you and your buddies seem to claim alot. Quote the post that says that. All they ask is that its not a group only game.

Thank you options.
Too bad they delete our stuff but not those unpolite trolls that don't do anything then destroying someone elses post.
But yeah i never asked the game to be more solo or less party..
All i asked is a cure option.
When cure 2 heals 200 hp out of 2000 thats bs..
A potion does 100-150...
Regen does 150 and then like 15-30 every 5 seconds..
Bloothbath does around 150-200...
And the enemy's hit for 250-300 sometimes.

Cure 2 can be used around what? 7 times ?
Why not make it 7 times worth of using. Like a heal of 500-600.
All the party's have 2 mages spamming cure... they wont complain indeed. all easy cakes.
But a solo archer doesnt have 1500 mp lol.
So yeah again all this post is meant for is to point out that cure doesnt cure enough.

Maybe some people like level progression based gameplay. Maybe they think that just because the most popular games have fast paced progression, not every game has to do it. Maybe they think group centralized play is good for a comunity, expecially one as insanley quiet as XIV has been.

Maybe being a niche game is good for it. Instead of getting lost in all the other MMO's where the content starts at end game making you wonder why it even has levels to begin with.

Maybe this whole thing is simply a matter of opinions and taste in which no one is really right or wrong.
