Raiders, why do you consider raiding just not memory games ?

[Red-thunder]

Yes, and? That's the current skill expression in this game (if you want a single digit gray parse and aren't interested in meeting the damage check). Other games require different skill expression, like pressing the same 4 buttons but in a slightly different sequence and with a bit of different delay. Chess only requires moving the pieces on a board, and maybe pressing the clock.

brb real quick getting a pink by adding a dia every 30s and then crit farming my miseries for 390258092358 runs and jumping off if the fight doesn't end at exactly 6:25

Damn man. If only there were any other games which feature different gameplay more to your liking.

Of course there is, I don't play this game, I just laugh at how bad it is and at the raiders who think memorizing a raidplan and farming the fight 239056802385 times to get a pink because their midare gets 90% crit rate is peak skill expression

When will these people admit that they don't actually play the game for skill expression, they literally play it just for the shiny pink or gold number on a third party website so they can brag about it on fflogs discord and brandish their numbers when they need to convince kihra to not count a section of the fight they're bad at towards their performance

By own admission, you don't even play this game, why do you care how people who do spend their time doing it? You are one of those people who constantly get told to "mind your own business", aren't you?

I play it, have raided for quite a while, and share their view on what raiding feels like (minus the part on what motivates XIV raiders to raid).
Now you're gonna ask me why I continue raiding then, well, I just retired I suppose. Took me long enough I guess, I'm not the brightest bulb when it's about dropping engagement into something.
