If you wanna make arguements like this and want them to have any validity..... keep them on the QT til after 2.0 and see if things in XIV are fixed.

    XIV is easier, you like easier so you defend it. I ENJOYED XI, under no sense of delusion, illusion, hallucination or anything else-sion.
    Thanks, I am glad my bias and extreme distaste for XI is being shown in this thread. As I said in the past, I want the development team to see that I do not appreciate many concepts of XI at all and would prefer not to see them in XIV. However, you see posts such as the ones I comment on that say that XIV is returning to XI -- I don't want to see that so yes, clearly I'll post against it. You're just as biased if you think XIV needs more XI. I don't call you out on it because you clearly preferred XI, it is simply understood.

    You're bringing trifling non-substantiating retorts because you cannot think of any logical thing to retort with. I will give you points for Ifrit/Mog/DD/CC/AV and their time sinks though. I have failed to acknowledge them in this thread, but have in others.

    I enjoy that content, some more than others, and with the latest news that primal weapons will require less "turn ins" (5 Totems and 10 Charms), I can live with the fact that SE doesn't have a better loot table option for pre 2.0 content. The development team has stated they are working on better loot table optimization things for 2.0 and I am willing to accept that compromise.

    XIV is easier, you like easier so you defend it. I ENJOYED XI, under no sense of delusion, illusion, hallucination or anything else-sion.
    Easy is not fun. Easy is running a guildleve. Easy is being handed loot for nothing. I've said I enjoy a CHALLENGE that is FUN at the same time.

    As someone stated in previous pages, challenge =/= time sinks, which is all XI really ever was.

    XI was a time-sink, XIV is a time-sink... but XI was a challenging time sink.... in XI you could die, did die, paid a penalty for dying.... in XIV you don't have any of that to worry about. Again, just hold off til 2.0 before you preach XIV is better. You can say its easier, but its not better.... not yet.

    (edit for grammar failz, edit again for >>>)

    Edit: If easier is better in anyone's mind, feel free to say better, but specify better because its easier so we on the harder is better side know where you're comin from, plzthx!

    Killing Ifrit 100 times for an axe isn't a time sync?

    Hmmm
