perhaps, i never really got the mount craze. most people i know who want to it want the fragments and the challenge if beating it, the mount is just a trophy to show they can do it.I was more responding to the other person saying people wanting a high success rate is a bad thing, and one of the reasons is because of the unique reward they put all the way at the end that people want which falls in the "design" being at fault. Let's be real here, if there was no unique reward for clearing the entire thing or if you could buy the ozma mount for fragments the salt wouldn't even be as high since the rest of the stuff can be bought off the MB and the fragments can be slowly farmed even if you don't make it very far.
Who wants to gamble on having enough people and the right amount of jobs to get to the end when you can delevel and waste more time. The player base just took things into their own hands.
i have a crazy and wild idea regarding BA. why not let the people who want to run it in premades run it with a que (you could restrict it to requiring a full alliance premade, or what ever.), and let the people that want to pug it use the portals in hydatos? for me personally, despite how much i enjoyed BA and the logos system, i've given up on BA because i'm tired of having to deal with BA portal / instance queueing Savage.
BC at this point its too late, most bend to the "you can only clear with Discord" so youll never get enough parties - I tried everytime i was there, 1/4 or more isnt even 60, 1/4 does bunny for mount or Lockboxes or needs stuff for their gear. We already broke it and it could only be fixed by nerving it to the ground and let us ress in there or my not allowing any premades to que...
(Besides the actual fix to make it an 56ppl raid for DF or creating a new zone without the support fate or anything that needs more work)
One thing that really needs to happen due to BA is an increase in the availability of some of the logograms with the big offenders being Protective and Curative. Either having them drop from more sources or increasing what you get from the bunny chests since the supply is not keeping up with the demands on most servers which is leading to these logos being extremely expensive on most market boards.
I do wonder if the 56 person design was to prevent instance server crashing with so many people trying the new content.
I honestly think it needs to be balanced around a 24 man raid team.
There's a reason other games don't have that many people as a requirement for content. Organizing them SUCKS. It's not fun. It's just time consuming.
Also, there absolutely needs to be another way to get fragments. I think more people would attempt BA if they could get that elemental gear before hand. It would help people who make mistakes live through them. One shot mechanics aren't fun either.
Make the fragments have a low drop chance from the regular lockboxes and a higher drop rate from moisture boxes

its meanf to be like a tougher endgame map event. Its not supposed to be pre organized. Basically a tougher more involved fateI do wonder if the 56 person design was to prevent instance server crashing with so many people trying the new content.

That would be fine if the difficulty was that of a tougher FATE, but honestly it's not.
It also has no business being in what for 3 other iterations was extremely casual content.
SE: Lets throw some of the hardest content in the game, where a single mistake can screw 56 other people, into content that doesn't cater to that crowd. Not to mention, with 55 other people in the instance, said one shot mechanics can't be seen due to our server stability issues and culling.
Which is exactly why, IMHO, it should be balanced for a 24 man.
Veteran healers don't care if we need to heal, but right now we don't. We want interesting things to do during the downtime other than a 30s dot and a single filler spell that hasn't changed from lvl 4 to lvl 90.
Dead DPS do no DPS. Raised DPS do 25/50% lower DPS. Do the mechanics and don't stand in bad stuff.
Other games expect basic competence, FFXIV is pleasantly surprised by it. Other games have toxic elitism. FFXIV has toxic casualism.[/LIST]
It's not meant to be a tougher fate. Else why why warn people before attempting it that it's a very hard content? All these requirements SE put and not making it easy for premades to enter along with the party wipe mechanics and enrage timers was to make the content more difficult to even start it and make it last longer. Similar to how Naxx 40 was difficult in WoW.

its no where near being the hardest content in the game, its probably around the difficulty of a 24 man, the only difference is its a lot harder to raise.
they have mechanics very similar to the things you see in BA other fates you see in Eureka, and other bosses.

yes, hence tougher.
basically take most of the other fates, now make it so that if you die, you cant raise, then put like 3 of them together, its not that different. plus i hear its super easy for people with max gear. 5 minute ozmas. Its also commonly pugged in japan. This is not savage level content by far.
watch a guide for bahamut coil nero https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=msMUIogugL4
vs a explanation for raiden https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JC-z57QG7PY
this is not much harder than loughi, skoll, etc. it just you cant get up if you die.
