People Enjoy hard Games

[MistyMew]

There should be much more extra content for those who enjoy very challenging content (that is NOT me btw Im cool with a more chill game)

But for those who want and crave that, they should be listened to.

All playstyles and every difficulty level should have equal representation but good rewards for all must exist.

Let people simply choose the path they love without automatically losing out on good rewards for their choice.
imo the game needs to cater to the 100% not the 1% nor only the majority.

Albeit a difficult task to achieve... it is certainly achievable if they choose to.
The game may be popular atm but it is aged quite a bit already, If we haven't seen equal representation by now in content difficulty..imo, we wont.

I do miss the arr and heavansward period where the game had some difficulty and you had to pay attention and not ignore mechanics or else a wipe would happen.

What's wrong with Hrothgar AST?

AST: because it's the worst of 4 healer to play as to progress through MSQ.

Hrothgar: have fun with that limited hat glams & some comically shaved snout helms. No. I'm totally wasn't referring to their combat performance when I mentioned this race in that post, it's purely aesthetic.

Pain

Also Hrothgar's tail physics animation can break when you play AST, so there's that too. Just a minor inconvenience, but with a lot of them adding up it starts to take its toll.

There is nothing inherently wrong with a game that does not appeal directly to hard-core gamers.

It's just different.

That is the beauty of multiple games in a single genre market. If an MMORPG is popular despite not being directly targeted at hard-core gamers, there must be something else in the game that keeps players subscribed.

This is true of every MMORPG. Some have excellent PvP. Some have a good storyline and plenty of activities not related to combat. Some even have a cast of familiar characters who apparently never permanently die over the current 20 year lifespan of the game.

That's partially a lie though, some MMORPG's have good storyline, PVP and activites related to combat, WoW is a good example of that. It doesnt need to be only one of those.

You have to realize calling people liars isn't a good idea and also that's your OPINION. I played WoW in beta and left after cata. I tried going back and to me WoW lost its direction. But I'm not going to debate you on opinions. If you are happy playing WoW good for you but don't tell others they are lieing because what he said is true there is no all encompassing MMORPG that does everything well

[DPZ2]

I never implied that any MMORPG couldn't have more than one of those. Examples of why people remain subscribed to an MMORPG are not exclusive.

Well, except for "a cast of familiar characters who apparently never permanently die over the current 20 year lifespan of the game". That's pretty much only WoW at this point.

I personally play both games, because WoW has amazing content (at least catered to my needs content wise as I want challenging content) and FFXIV covers the housing/social aspect/glamours

also I didnt say "LIAR !" I said that it's partially a lie because a game could very well cover all of those 3 criterias and still be successful and also make money.

Then I misunderstood, my bad, the way you worded it to me felt like an MMORPG had to be focused on one of those at a time which in my opinion felt wrong.

Right now, I was in a P12 NORMAL, and they failed the dps check.

I don't understand what do you find HARD in a game where you can SAVE and RELOAD during a fight, but whatever, if the difficulty level in ff14 were at a "single player level", players will mass leave, first of all the skilled players, unable to end daily content without a premade.
