Do We Remember That a Game Is Meant to Be Fun?

[Connor]

I'm not talking about logs or anything, stop derailing the discussion please.

‘You are too bad to clear actual hard content’…’oh but I’m not talking about your logs or performance just innocently mentioning that time you were in a roulette and ran around like a headless chicken’. Or you’re blatantly trying to characterise me as a ‘bad player’ because you somehow think that completely invalidates any argument I’ve made? Say it with your chest.

My advice was to try savage and ultimate because it is a very interesting facette this game offers. Dont see how advising to try something new is bad.

Because it completely invalidates the opinions of others? ‘It doesn’t matter if you don’t have fun elsewhere because savage and ultimates are fun’

The devs dont design ultimates and savage for 10 people, they design it with the intent for everyone to try it. It is fine if you are not interested in it or are too bad or whatever.

So much for ‘I’m not talking about logs or performance’ lol. But you feel the need to point out that people can be ‘too bad’ for it.

And i didnt say that the game shouldnt be engaging at lower levels, but it isnt engaging at lower levels. If i want to feel engaged i do the content that makes me feel engaged. Is it so hard to understand? My advice was honest. It wasnt meant to be an elitist raider comment or whatever, just a simple "try it if you havent"

‘Saying you’re a bad player and referencing the time you were bad in a roulette and using it to argue that you can’t/don’t have a real opinion because you are literally incapable of understanding the world of savage/ultimates but it wasn’t an elitist comment just honest advice’. Really?

For me that is where the fun in this game lies. I enjoy raiding and FFXIV is the best game for that, absolutely! If you dont enjoy it then thats fine. Just do the things you enjoy in the game. For me personally though this game is about raiding. It makes sense to me seeing how much raiding centered content they release.
If there is nothing you enjoy then quit and move on. Complaining wont change it, we all know that already. Also i havent seen you give any advice at all what they should do to have fun... Why even bother commenting if you have nothing useful to say?

My advice is to adjust job design and encounter design relative to what the many, many, many players are asking for? Like maybe jobs are too simplistic, and general content is too easy? Maybe one of the many people saying these things might actually be right? But I suppose I’m so bad a player I’m also incapable of deferring to the opinions of others who have done that content.

Complaining has changed countless things over the game’s lifespan lol. Energy Drain? Kaiten? Red Mage combo becoming ranged? Bard song buffs? It’s a video game feedback forum; complaining is like 75% of the point.
