FFXIV needs to stop accommodating Solo Players

Really wish I could just delete this thread.

Oh don't pretend you weren't looking for drama. You got exactly what you wanted.

Which part of the title implied they were attacking you directly rather than saying “square enix should stop accomodating solo players”

I have no personal beef with you, I still think square should accomodate solo players less, if anything it sounds like you have a problem with anyone implying that square shouldn’t bend to solo players

I am inclined to think that due to language barrier that's why he worded it as such. Even saw his post over the beastmaster thread and saying something about crying. Shrugs.

No, thanks. I had enough of forced content with idiots back in the day when I played Rappelz.

I'm confused. You obviously took the time to post this so I assume it matters to you. As other have said, this post is extremely vague by the title and will most likely either get botched through translation or ignored outright since theres no information other than you saying "You know what I mean."

No, we clearly all don't know what you mean.

So, perhaps elaborate and get the thread back on track? Otherwise I can't blame anyone for derailing it further when it looks like a bait thread.

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

MMO only means, that there are more people online playing the game, not that we need to interact with said players. So tired of that same childish reply...grow up.

So you want a single player game with dynamic NPC’s then

Funny to call others childish when you have 14 other mainline FF’s and your response is basically “nuh uh I want this one”

MMO just means more than one person is playing. Before complaining about other players soloing maybe think of this. You go to do a quest then get put in a queue for it just to see it say average wait time 3 hours. How well do think that go over with players waiting who knows how long just to do one quest. This is what you're asking for by wanting no soloing in the game.

The point is that the MSQ is functionally irrelevant, it’s the content that’s actually designed to be done with other players that now seems to be more and more funneled into not needing other players

If you want to do the MSQ solo than AFK in limsa that’s fine, BUT the game shouldn’t also change the encounters to accomodate the trust AI, make the jobs fail proof so that nobody actually has to actually rely on anyone else in group content and then create almost all of the current expansions endgame content explicitly with the intention of it being soloable

EW has basically amounted to (on the casual side)
-trusts nuking old duties like sor khai
-IS
-EO
-variant

All of which benefit the solo player over the player who wants to play with others which is one of the unique draws of MMO’s
