Please make Forked Tower more Accessible and easier like Bozja

Nah, I'mma be real, I think they can make a normal mode version for FT, but the current version needs to stay additionally. Furthermore, we as a community should have a no-tolerance policy towards disruptive behavior like sniping. FFXIV has its "toxic positivity" rep for a reason, unfortunately. We shouldn't tolerate players intentionally undermining the great efforts hosts go through to actually progress these fates. Killing snipers with TB is against ToS, but you should absolutely just leave them on the floor, as they can easily wipe you past boss 1. Unintentionally stumbling into tower is fine, the issue arises when people get told in /yell or /tell to please step off the platform because there's a 48man premade and then ignore it. That doesn't deserve coddling.

I understand where you're coming from, but to pay a sub for this game and then be ordered not to engage in content by a player cabal is not going to go down well.

SE created yet another completely predictable problem. When the director talked about wanting "more friction," I didn't realize he meant friction between players.

idc about difficulty - I'll just smash my face into it until I get a clear.

It's just baffling to me that CBU3 is a development team with over 10 years of experience working on one of the largest MMO's of all time, and they still do not understand enough about their game or its playerbase to make a decent raid.

They claim that you only need 16 people to enter forked tower, but you are immediately body checked by the first boss. So 24 if you're struggling. It was designed and intended to be run with 48 players - 2/3 of the number of players who can even enter the instance in the first place, and this relying on other players to do a support fate too. It was already difficult enough trying to queue in Eureka with 144 players per instance so doing this with only 72 and making it some lottery system in addition to an extremely short and random weather event is honestly just incompetent at this point. idk, I can't find a defense for them. They just don't know how to make content anymore and the game is going to languish over time because of it. It's a shame really, but what can you do when the developers won't listen? The same thing we always do - wait for the game to die as a result and move on to what's next.

There's players who want the player population to drop back to Heavensward numbers and are excited that everything is bad right now. For you few who remain at that point in time, I wish you nothing but another Alexander: Gordias content experience.
