The growing entitlement issues of the casuals

[Kazimir]

I was talking about this, but ok. I haven't seen any of you guys ask for hard content, you're either asking for time-consuming content or content that only a linkshell can access per day. Nobody is going to cater to that if they care about their game.

You'll most likely get your hard content, however. If you're good, you'll beat it. You'll get the armor to show off for being actually good. If you're bad and can't... then maybe you didn't deserve it, even if you spent your 10 daily hours trying.

I'm not actually asking for content in terms of dungeons or NM's that only hardcore players have access to. I'm advocating a reward that is so difficult to get, by the time any casual can obtain it it's obsolete. I'll use the same example I have 3 times already: Relic Weapons. Took a very long time to get. Could casuals technically get it? Yeah, it was obtained through a quest and you needed to get massive amounts of old currency to get it. Some people bought all the currency, others spammed Dynamis until they got enough currency. In the end I personally never seen a casual with it, it just took too much time. But I never heard a casual player complain about it. I never had one, I didn't really care either, it didn't ruin the game for me. But it was something that rewarded the hardcore players, and as we know they need to feel special. Anyone who plays 16 hours a day obviously has issues.

What you don't understand is that time doesn't equal skill.

People who are better at the game than others will get things to make themselves unique. People who are both good and have more time will get more things, and faster. You're already ahead.

I agree.
