FFXI vs FFXIV Difficulty

[Jericho]

Hmm why don't you go back and play FFXI OP?

Because FFXI has been remodeled into something that barely resembles what the game was in its prime. The vast majority of players didnt want a level cap increase, didn't want endgame events reduced to soloable shells of what they once were, and didn't want EXP handed to them and everyone around them (For the love of God, don't bring up that ridiculous "Don't like it? Don't do it." argument. That's not what an MMO is about). Nobody is going to go back to FFXI because they don't like this game. They came to this game because FFXI fell apart.

You all seem to think that its just a handful of "FFXI elitists who want this game to be FFXI-2" making these suggestions. Its not. People level every class to 50, not because they're bored and there's nothing else to do, but because they can and it's the new norm because they can. You have to if you want a good reputation and good invites. It's gross.

You do realize this game is meant to be solo/casual friendly right...? This game isn't meant to be tough like FFXI, at least not in terms of the level grind. I am tempted to agree that leveling might be a little too accelerated at this moment though. But, without throwing any mid level content in, why bother dragging out the process?

If they put a level cap on some stuff, there would be mid-level content. Toto-rak, certain quest battles, if you level capped them, there would mean at level 30, you have no more benefit over the player at level 50 (for example). There's enough mid-level content to justify a slower leveling system.

inb4 if you like FFXI so much why don't you marry it

Why do people respond with these little trendy phrases so quickly? It's really annoying.

I dont know why you play this game, but i dont need "good reputation", because i dont define myself by accomplishments in this game. My only level 50 Class is Lancer and i have no problems getting invites for anything i want to do, be it Ifrit, DH, AV or whatever. I dont have problems finding a party and i dont care about reputation. I play this game because its fun.
