Ishgard Restoration: High Difficult Recipe Rewards

[CookiesNCreams]

Casual market is gear,pets,minion,mounts,furniture, glams,materia,food,etc all the things Hardcore crafters take for granted. They also dont all crash at the same time there is always one or more making good gil.

Gonna have to disagree with you on that. 1.0 - 3.5, gear was considered pretty hardcore to do consistently. Why? Because only the hardcore or serious crafters had the will power to sit through RNG’s bull crap. Casual players in general don’t have that drive to do that.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad Square Enix (supposedly) looked at my controversial casual and hardcore thread and decided to add harder recipes for Ishgard, but as Liam stated, the damage has already been done. Things just will not be the same anymore like they once used to.

However, they have the opportunity to turn Ishgard Restoration leaderboards into a hardcore only thing, kind of like savage raids. There’s just too many hardcore crafters that either quit FFXIV or just stopped crafting as a whole because of how laughably easy and accessible endgame recipes have become.

Solution: Make a new mmo. For example, FF14 is mostly geared towards casual players. Make FF16 mostly geared towards ALL demographics, not just casuals. Yoshida has been confirmed to be working on a new Square Enix title. We just don’t know if it’s an mmo, a single player, or a new IP. Gonna hope it’s a mmo...
