That's what this says to me. he doesn't like working to get his advanced classes, he wants them to be "accessible".
Almost nobody whined about job quests and AF, and they're accessible without being pushover bores. You don't actually understand the meaning behind anything. Farming some f**king yagudo or cabbage for a few days then standing in front of an NPC for half an hour to raise your fame does not require any serious effort and is not difficult. It's boring artificial content designed to increase your play time with minimal design and development. It's the bane of almost every MMO, and that's why almost every last MMO that's considered good has gotten rid of dumb s**t like that.

The need for instant gratification is all I ever read on these forums... And that need is why everyone is soooo boooored and has all level 50s.
There are a bunch of bored 50's because content isn't too difficult and because it's massively bland. The dungeons are all re-skins of outdoor zones with the same monsters and some boring bosses that can be cheesed with certain setups. There is no real challenge there; and it still won't exist if you arbitrarily add some random grinds before people can access the content.


All of this QQing is exactly what is keeping content out of this game.
Really? Because Yoshi has been pretty spot-on about adding content. All I see is a bunch of nostalgic petulant babies whining that FFXIV is not a direct clone of FFXI, ripe with outdated, frustrating, and boring mechanics and grinds.
