The general player base needs to improve

I'm curious...have you done endgame yourself? I dunno about how it was in the 1.0-1.23b series, I'm most familiar with current endgame in 4.x. Just wondering because of your comment about WoW and raiding, and your character level as it is currently. Unless this is an alt of yours.



Yeah, I learned this the last time I was there as well. I tunnel visioned when I was a PLD on the final boss and got hit by one of his attacks...was barely noticable when I had a healer topping me off every time I took damage. Sometimes, I kinda wish for mobs to inflict something like healing down penalties or infirmary.

Ya I've mentioned in other post, I've done the first coil with my static(before nerf,not very hardcore), it was fun,
but after I tried XIV1.1x-1.2x, the "End game" thing isn't my objective when I play a MMO now,

I mean, you buy FF15 because you just want to fight the final boss & watch the ending CG movie & the staff roll?
guess not, you buy it because the stroy, because the contents in it,process is more important than the result.

I played very hardcore in WOW, because I want to know how good I can be when raiding, I've proven myself in WOW,I don't need to prove it again,
& I don't play MMO just for the gears or boss fights ,
I take the gears so I can win the next boss, if I don't raid, then highend gears mean nothing to me, I won't bother with it, ILV340 is already enough for me
if I just want to fight some boss, I will play Monster hunter, Nier, these games are a lot more fun than the heavily scripted battle in ARR.

I play MMO because the people,the community, the player-created events & contents,
but there's no such things in ARR, well.... then I play it for some rest, play it super casually,
I've played many games, XIV ARR is far from the worst , just not the real "Final Fantasy MMO" to me, a fake MMO
