Make FFXIV more like FFXI and less like WoW!

[Velhart]

There aren't more A8s wins because they aren't that many raiders first of all. Second that fight is 13 minutes of fail any of these mechanics and you wipe what means you have to 8 people have to memorize then execute each perfectly for 13 minutes to win. So it takes a while.
As for your dark souls comment you can win that game by memorizing you memorize parry timings when said boss swings which way you have to dodge roll what have you. That whole game series is trial and error but unlike this one every tool is viable. its up to you to make it work some are harder than others and bosses don't do the same thing in the same order every single time you fight them.

Which goes right back to my argument there is a difference between simply memorizing something and being skilled enough to execute it. I know where the basketball hoop is, I know you have to throw a basketball in it. The ability to execute it is what makes or breaks it.

Also, I am going by your logic that a team can beat it simply by memorizing it. Thus, if this was the case, then we should have more raiders in general. We don't, and you honestly think it is only because someone can't memorize what to do next? Anyone can memorize something. Being able to do it and be efficient at your job is a whole different story.

Honestly, I have forgotten what we were originally arguing about.
