Tools they could add besides DPS meters... (For endgame)

Oh that is why elitists start raging when a game becomes more accessible, content is nerfed, rewards are gives via casual and solo achievements?

They believe they "deserve" those rewards and the "casual plebs" dont, which is exactly why they react so extremely when things like these happen.

Once again if you read the comments or listened to many of the higher players they do not ever say the "casual plebs" don't deserve the rewards.. what they do say is go and do the content and you can gladly have them..

The game is already highly accessible and nerfing the rewards just destroys there relevance... and once again what the game should be doing is lifting players up to the challenges to get rewards.. not catering to the lazy folks who want the shinys with no effort.

The game releases a new piece of content with new shiny rewards.. EVERY SINGLE PLAYER has equal access to that content and those rewards.. It's up to them to go and get them... If they choose not to because there lazy or whatever.. thats there decision.. That shouldnt then mean they can demand them another way and devalue them for the players that did choose to get them through the new content...

what it actually is lower end players blaming better players for there own laziness... I don't bother with a lot of higher content much anymore specifically because there no motivation to do so. but again thats my choice. I dont kick off that I cant have that shiny glamour or whatever because i know i can have it if i want it... I just gotta smash the content the same as everyone else did... These days i'm probably more what you refer to as a "casual pleb" than anything else.. but I still dont kick off about things i cant have..

No, [B]for healthy people FF14 is a really fun game that lasts for ages and the continuing increase in subs and popularly supports that,.

I typically don't like being judgemental but I do notice that you only joined the forums in feb 2021. and some of the comments here refer to you only just getting a level 80 job which leads me to assume your relatively new.

if that assumption is accurate then you're not really in a position to say its a really fun game that lasts for ages you haven't played long enough. and if you talk to people or leaders of many of the bigger free companies they'll tell you that most palyers really don't stick around very long.

and most people will tell you how sub counts arent always what they seem. much the same way as player numbers.. they often operate in a past tense to appear bigger.. the player base doesnt really grow that much at all honestly. we still have mostly the same number of servers we had when 2.0 launched. theonly extra ones they added were for the european data centre if i recall. and that was for latency reasons not populatio growth

also a bit of research will soon tell you that many of the servers that do exist are very low population almost dead... because as fast as the game pulls new players in it loses existing ones.

No, for elitists whose ego depends on video game "achievements" and being given exclusive rewards to differentiate them from the "casual plebs", for them then the game is "unrewarding", you see, healthy individuals dont base their ego on video games so that is not what we look for when we play one.

once again your making the mistake that extrinsic motivation is unhealthy... and mistaking it for ego / elitism.. many players dont want the rewards to differntiate themselves from other players they want rewards to symbolise the challenges overcome to get them.. they wouldn't care less if 100% of the player bae did the exact same challenge.. hell most of them would be happy if that was the case as it would mean an incredibly strong community.

I may be wrong. but it seems to me your saying you want to be lazy and have all the shinies handed to you freely on a silver platter and anyone who thinks thats wrong or unfair is an elitist gatekeeping toxic pos..
