4.2 Updates from Q&A with Yoshida

[RiyahArp]

wow, 2% off. Like that matters. Face facts, the vast majority of people in this game barely clear the hardest raid, yet alone complain its too easy. But so many people talk down difficulty on forums despite every single time they actually made raids harder than the current tier, completion dropped like a rock. If they listened to raiders and made it harder again, all that would happen is the pug scene would die and all the forum talkers would be wondering why its so hard to fill or replace static members. raiders in this game are idiots, give them have a chance, and they'd beg for gordias back to assuage their egos

People are upset because it's once again the devs taking our content and dumbing it down for people who can't be bothered to improve. First they took away story since they wasn't fair to non-raiders, then they gradually reduced to the difficulty. Now it's reaching a point where raiders have Ultimate and the last boss of Savage. Apologies I happen to want a challenge that doesn't still roll over after twelve deaths (Hi, Alt Roite).

You don't want the more casual oriented content to get harder. So why are you allowed to tell us to "get over it" when you'd be crying how unfair it is if dungeons required more than a pulse?

because people like you whined and moved en masse to gilgamesh because you couldn't handle it being harder. You're assuming the lot of you could even deal with raised difficulty; you couldn't with gordias, nor with midas, and if they increased it, you'd not be able to deal with it again. Challenge, hell. People here complaining about it being easy when hard literally killed the raid scene and took not just easing savage difficulty down with the last tier of HW, it took a big streamlining of the entire pve rotation too.
