The Thing I Hate The Most

Opinion discarded. Ivalice raids are nowhere the wipefest you try to sell us it is.

They were, but now power creep has settled in. Now most of the bosses die before they even get to some of their worst mechanics.

Sadly true. Personally I lament this and powercreep aside, I loathe the fact, that instead of players adapting and overcoming things had to be nerfed instead.

Because of this, I want EX versions of 24mans so bad, like I love the 48man savage DR or Baldesion Arsenal, but it takes a lot of setup. I firmly believe the game has room for harder 24mans. Agleia, Orbonne Monastery and Ridorana Lighthouse would make for amazing settings.

So to defend those BLMs just for a minute, the tooltips dont emphasize the important parts[...]

Reading and understanding Aspect Mastery I (Level 1) and Aspect Mastery (Level 35) by the time you are done Level 35 Job quest to get Fire and Blizzard III should be enough to have a rough idea of how the Black Mage works at its core. Nearly anything else after that just expands on it with upgraded spells and newer ones you add into the rotation you should have learned at 35.

Is the job more difficult to understand at the beginning and the text is not helping? Sure.

But then at least read up a guide or blast a dummy until the job feels right for you. Self-improvement should be a big thing.

If you found the job's sweet spot in your 40's, good on you. Though the previous post was made specifically for those in their later levels, since I even saw some still using Fire/Blizzard I in Endwalker content. And that's just sad.

The roulettes are a reward for running content you don't necessarily need to run. That's the point of the roulettes. To reward you for running older content.

If you don't want to run certain things then you can just queue for it directly. Nobody's stopping you save for your own brattiness.

I only did two roulettes this week, one set of hippo tribe dailys, and two A rank hunt trains. This gave me the 450 tomestone cap in less than a day. No need for roulettes until next reset.

TG still wipes alliances(saw it a few times over the last week...all because people don't understand when told where to put those expanding orbs, and for tanks NOT to touch the damned tether), which makes those who were there in week 1 lament how weak they made him over the years.

Because duty roulettes are not compulsory.
It's a deal between you and the game.
You want tomestones/exp? You play a random dungeon/trial.
sorry if it is too obvious.

Bold of you you to assume a lot of people bothered unlocking the other raids.

The old ones suck. Ivalice, in particular, sucks hardcore. It's a wipefest, and not something I enjoy wasting my time with, and WILL leave if it pops.

And this is why part 2 is mandatory automatic unlocks of all dungeons, raids, and trials. Lots of people didn't unlock nier either.

Oh, they did back in ShB if they wanted the Resistance weapons, since you had to do Ivalice to unlock Bozja. I have a sneaking suspicion whatever Trial series we'll have this expansion will require Void Ark to be completed.

Then tell me why I spent over an hour in Orbonne because people can't follow mechanics.
