FFXIV needs to stop accommodating Solo Players

[Nighthawky2010]

I agree it's a MMO go play one of the 14 other ff games if you can't work with other people.

I totally disagree. FFXIV was my 1st MMORPG that I played almost 10 years ago. I did have many great people in the community help me with dungeons & learning about MMOs. But as I stated before, outside new trials, new extreme/savage content, new relic grinding& new exploration areas - the game is basically a single-player MMORPG, in my opinion.

The MSQ is single-player, the instances are single-player, and the MSQ dungeons, if you use the Trusts or Duty Support, are single-player. Hell, if you don't decide to do the new raids & alliance, you probably can go through the whole DT, 7.0, as a single player.

Now if SE wants to add more multiplayer content in FFXIV, that is fine but doesn't mean people have to do it. Players are going to play the game how they feel comfortable playing the game. Plain & simple.

Allowing you to do dungeons with trusts is fine but the trust AI is so bad they are going back and remaking old fights into the same boring cookie cutter modern design that the modern dungeons run off

I don’t mind allowing people to clear sor khai with trusts, I mind that when I get it with players I don’t get the old hraesvalger fight because the trusts couldn’t do it

Besides maybe Toto rak and cooperbell they should have left the old dungeons for the players because in this situation as someone who has no interest in trusts my experience is being made worse to accomodate them

That is the most terrifying thing that I have read all day. I had no idea that the cost of trusts was annihilating gameplay. Very few people would have agreed to duty support if they were told these facts beforehand. FFXIV is now on the edge.

And double post, sorry, but is this true ? Because if it is... Damn.

I played a lala for years and NEVER encountered one thing for me being a lala and that's been since 2013ish

People keep saying this but there's no way trusts are the reason. So many mechanics that got changed can be boiled down to extremely simple aoes. The elemental tower in castrum abania is just a donut aoe if you think about it.

So if mechanics like the second boss of sorm al or the last boss of sor khai can easily be done with trusts and nothing about the mechanic besides its marker is out of date why did they redo all the bosses rather than change the marker exactly when the dungeon was given trust support

Can i ask what happend? I mean i know some people dont like Lalafell.

But i always take it as banter.

The only thing people do to me is hugging me!

I dont think a good reason exists and that's why i am so confused about these dungeon reworks. Making them trustable is not an excuse that makes sense imo.

Even I that don't play lalafell (fortunately), I see on a DAILY basis someone writing here or there how lalas shoudln't be in the game, should be killed, should be burned, or how they ruin the game experience of someone else. And this is on the good days, when it's not about literally equating lala players with the p word.

Get this lalafell stuff out of my thread, it is not needed here or relevant.
