More content for solo players?

[Peptaru]

MMORPG = people sharing an online world. Nothing more, nothing less. There should be content available for both solo and party content. MMORPG doesn't mean party all day, nor (edit for spellin) does it mean solo all day, it means share the same world, which is a world that anyone who is online can interact with (secret: in whichever way they choose!).

This should be quoted every time someone uses the argument that MMO = PARTIES.

Pep, you really start to annoy me with your half wise arguments.

MMORPG =/= people sharing an online world

MMORPG = Massively Multiplayer Online RPG

Multiplayer = People playing TOGETHER and/or AGAINST each other.

These are set definitions of the words. You can't make up a definition of your own to fit your "view".
Can't call a goose a duck, just because for you it should be a duck...

I'm sick of all those people who want SE to cater their needs. If you don't like party play, don't play a party play based game, simple as that. Stop demanding shit in a game, that wasn't made for your needs in the first place, instead find a game that caters towards your needs and leave the people who actually enjoy party play alone with the games that are meant to be played in a party.

It seems like everyone who has played FF games in general thinks he has the right to tell SE how their MMORPG coutnerparts should be like and cause it's a FF, they have the right to enjoy this game just like any FF they played and were solo only. This game has the name FF on it, but it's an MMORPG, deal with that fact, or leave it the fuck alone...you don't have to play each FF just cause it's FF...

If this game would be named "World of Hydaelyn" you wouldn't even be here...so what's your point...

MMORPG = Many Men Online Role Playing as Girls

In peptaru defense

In your analogy... Goose and Ducks is different, but are both birds. Sharing an online world with others, or playing in a online world with others is the same thing.. I think everyone here wants more option to both solo and party play.

Oh man... and the rest of what you said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever read. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having reading it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Multiplayer Online RPG

Multiplayer doesn't mean a game for more than one player? It means party? I think you need your IQ checked. There needs to be more solo content and more party content.

Multi = more than one. Player = someone who plays~! = more than one someone who plays.
yes they're usually heavy on the side of party content, i've no objection to that, but 'gifted' people who say they're ONLY about partying should wear helmets.

If you got no clue about the definition of the word, not my fault.
Multiplayer is defined as "Playing together and/or against other players". This is the set definition of the word and how it is used for gaming purposes. There is no game in the world that has a Multiplayer Mode, where you play solo...simple fact.

And as I said before, if you want to make this a personal battle, just go on, I know I got the facts on my side.
Of course some won't be pleased with my thoughts and/or views, but they are based on facts, not my "prefered" playstyle. If I wouldn't like to play with other people, I wouldn't play an MMO...so why do people who want to play solo, play an MMO? Oh right, cause they think they got the right to demand this, although the game was never made for those people.

To give you a simple example, that you should be able to understand. I love the Resident Evil Series(yes even 4+5)...now they made Operation Racoon City, which is an Online MMO FPS/TPS...just cause I like Resident Evil I'm not gonna play this, cause in the end it's an FPS/TPS and I'm not a fan of those...people like you on the other hand, just play it anyways and think since it's a Resident Evil Game, this should be playable as other Resident Evil games, so I should be able to do shit alone, although the intention of the game was never meant to cater solo players...

I will repeat myself again happily...this is an MMORPG, it was NEVER meant to be played by solo players. Usually all MMORPGs restrict their solo content to lvling...anything more than that is just to throw players like you a bone, cause of course, they need to think about profit and a lost players is lost money.

Actually, it was made with solo play in mind.

Going it Solo: Being able to solo will factor big into the world of Eorzea, and the developers reveal that they are working hard to make a game that does not impede the solo player. Naturally, since enemies can appear in parties, there will be difficult, or even insurmountable challenges out there. However, Iwao in particular finds a certain romantic image in the lone adventurer, and hopes to accomodate that playing style to the fullest.

Thank your for a constructive response first.

Second like I said, they do this to throw players who want to play solo a bone, but it doesn't change that first and foremost MMOs are made for players who wanna play with others together and/or against each other.

I'm not saying that solo content in an MMO is wrong, or it shouldn't be there, I'm saying players who DEMAND solo content should be happy about any solo content at all, cause MMOs are not made to actually satisfy the needs of a solo player, that's what solo/offline games are made for.

And like I said, this is my personal view, I think this has a lot to do with the FF Franchise. A lot of players who played XI and play XIV never touched an MMO before, cause it wasn't FF...now that they played all other FF titles and could "fiinsh" the game to it's fullest, they somehow misconcept MMOs as something that should make it possible for them to do the same as in the offline/solo counterparts. Not neccesarilly by doing the same content, but the "goal" should be the same as in "I want to play solo, but I want to get to the same point party players get".
