Come play ff14, where you play 100% of your kit, 20% of the time

None of the content in XIV thats not Savage or Higher requires your full kit, and syncing the content properly within the roulette systems would at least make us use more. I've been saying it since Shadowbringers, if Sastasha is the easiest least engaging dungeon, then the current expert dungeon(s) should be the hardest/most engaging dungeon.

Also look at Endsinger, it feels good to do, because it's sync'd well to us. All content under Savage should be sync'd better.

I guess you never played ARR and did aoe pulls to speed run your weekly cap.

In that case, welcome to the game, hope you enjoy your brief respite from wow.

sounds sweaty

Exactly, lmao:

Imagine these hall monitors trying to RP Obiwan Kenobi on the moral high ground, but just got laid out with a screen shot from the ingame support toolbox.

Fanbois tried to censor the conversation, and instead got handed back the charred remains of whatever dignity they had left.

Forums are probably the most savage content they've ever experienced in FF14.

Level Sync is FFXIV's shittiest feature.

[Aiscence]

Dude it's not 20% of your time. Try this: Finish a dungeon -> record the time until the next time you actually need to hit a single mob -> if you reach the next dungeon (around 5 to 7 hours :^)) without having hit a single mob you win!

It happened to me where I noticed I didn't have carbuncle out when reaching the next dungeon and didn't notice because outside of duties .. there's generally only one "black" shiny/aoe that trigger mobs per msq segment and that's it.

I dont get it...
Why can't we just keep all our abilites when down-scaled(lvl sync'ed)? [scale abilites based on lvl]
Also we should learn job core abilties/features WAY ealier.

Level sync is okay, its the best solution for top end characters doing lower tier content without taking away the experience of lower players. I wish other mmo's had this feature. FFxiv systems are top tier. Especially their job classes.

Op is saying why can't it be leveled sync with all our abilities gained while leveling. Taking away fun stuff. Unfortunately for the op I don't think they will ever introduce a level sync that includes all of your abilities. However the trade off is making the experience better for low level players, we were all their at some point.

Any way I think that's what the op means.

The issue is that some abilities are impossible to "scale down." You can't "scale down" things like Benediction (instant 100% heal), invuln abilities, and the like. You can't "scale down" having a larger variety of different types of healing spells when people at the "appropriate" level for the dungeon don't even have those abilities. The concern is creating an environment where newer players would be put down or shunned because they won't be able to clear the content as quickly, so the solution is that everyone gets the same set of abilities. In exchange for working with the simpler toolkit, higher level players doing the content on roulette get a reward of either a significantly higher chunk of xp or endgame tomestones.

I do agree, though, that at the very least every class should have their standard AoE ability by the same level (looks at DRG in particular).

Then dont. The synced content is already a joke so they may as well give the players the power fantasy of seeing how a lv70-80 skill works in sastasha, if anything it would make players better as they could interact with their toolkit much more often than they do now and all the new tools they get from leveling would feel all the more impactful.

Which is quite the stupid concern imo considering that half the playerbase barely know/use their tools at max level anyway and they still arent kicked.

Considering they have made XIV into a solo game, the TOS mention abuse of vote kick and how quickly everything gets done I highly doubt that scenario would happen. They could even keep the rewards there if they are so worried so everyone does not only get better gameplay but also incentives to play with newbies.

It's strange you're trying to take the morale high road, when you're actually the abhorrent one with bad behavior.

Please refer to this video, hopefully the self-awareness will hit you at the 5 minute mark.

Morale high road?

These are your words, are they not?

"Come play ff14, where you play 100% of your kit, 20% of the time
Hope you like 4 abilities, kid."

If you can't understand how this comes off as self-entitled and condescending, then you are the last person to be telling me about bad behavior and self-awareness and attempt to instruct me on the concept of morality. You're a grown arse adult behaving like a child with a temper tantrum. Tell me. Why should I waste five minutes of my time if you're unable to articulate your point in your own words? Whenever you're ready to have an adult conversation that is productive and civil, I'll be right here. But if you're going to continue to act like a brat shrouded behind the anonymity of the internet, don't be flabbergasted when you get responses like mine. I'm not a fan of pity parties.
