Going to the same route as WoW. The game is TOO easy

[zaviermhigo]

FFXIV has never been, is not and will never be a hard mmorpg to play.
Yoshi P said it already, he wants an mmorpg that you actually play it like a game and not treat it like a job.
It IS a casual mmorpg where you could jump in and play whatever time you could put at it and have a fine time, hence why there are so many women playing this game, since they dont have to dedicate their life towards it.
But there is something for a hardcore players too you are not left on the ice, savage and extreme content is quite demanding and maybe you cant grind the game like you could do with WoW or BDO, yet there is still a challenge for someone who seeks it.

I always find it funny Yoshi-P says he wants a casual experience that you don't treat like a job, but this game always turns into a job, and that's why I end up quitting. Didn't cap this week because you had irl stuff to do? Oh you're behind now, and you can never catch up to your friends with dead end jobs who think doing chores in XIV is fun. But wait...isn't the cap system supposed to make it so casual players aren't behind? Yeah its bs, its actually a hindrance. Just let me not log in for two weeks and do a bunch of spamming when I get back from real life. Just let people spam as much as they want, and people could, at that rate, stop worrying about whether or not someone spams 24/7. This game is a casual game for people who need constant gratification from somewhere cause they don't get it irl. 95% of the game is a chore you do so you can do 5% of the content which is fun. I get some people don't have anything of value in their real life's so they love to do only the 95% and never do the 5%, that's honestly most people who play this game. But that is the part that makes me want to quit every time. I've been playing since 1.0, weekly cap and constant dungeon spamming will make me quit every time. Then its 24 man raid spamming with people who have two left feet, a little better but ultimately terrible.

The fact of the matter is nothing is this game is hard, its numb and brainless. Even savage is hard when you first go in, then its just a dance you learn, and if you can do the dance fine. The hardest part of savage is "can the other 7 people do the dance." It just feels like this game is a snoozefest made for people missing lobes of their brain half the time. Maybe I'm particularly jaded since I main heals too, and they are making it so a literally person on life support can heal in 5.0
