How SE is alienating talented players

Hmmm. Soo leme get this strait, "Elite" players are doing 25-30 speed runs in a day and are seeing low if no drop rates at all....That reminds me of a game I played once. Realy nice, very hard to attain items, and quite frankly was 50% luck if you even got it after completeing the task or dungeon, at all. But once you got that Item, that was an Item worth showing off, stats be damned, You only got that Item cuz you and your crew were realy good at the game and thats how you proved it. ... What was that game called?? Oh yeah Final Fantasy XI. If your burned out then take a break. But please stop asking the Devs to make the game even easier and acheivments less prestegious because you and your LS weren't the first ones with the gear. The way i see it, the harder to attain said gear, the more I want it. start handing that stuff out like its candy and its the next item Im just gona NPC. Personally, I think AF gear should be much , MUCH harder to acheive, But thats just my opinion. Game is too easy as it is, bring back the honor in being "elite" in this game before you start calling yourself elite , at this point half the server is "elite"

Agree except for this. AF is nowhere near good enough to warrant the level of difficulty you're implying. I mean if AF was the best armor in the game bar none, sure. If it was better than double-melded gear, sure. As it stands I could single meld an entire set of armor and have it be superior to AF. If AF armor got a significant buff, I could support what you're saying lol.

Its not finished, it kinda has to be easy lol. Can't balance a game's difficulty without having a strong foundation. Let them get the job mechanics and stuff hammered out, then you can throw all the difficulty you want at ppl. Give it some time lol.

As far as the elitist thing goes, reminds me of all the F2P's I played...everyone was "elitist" rofl. Even on those cartoony faceroll games bahaha
