The growing entitlement issues of the casuals

[Kilta_Firelotus]

Again, you're not reading, or at least you're special pleading.

I specifically said that they should make NMs designed for Hardcore players, but they should also make it accessible to Casuals by making it take the same amount of effort.

So if it normally takes a week for a hardcore player to camp an NM and get an item to drop, they should make an alternate route for Casuals to be able to get the same or similar item through "guild points" or tokens of some kind. So... that negates your objections so I ask again:

What's wrong with this?

it is seperating the content is whats wrong. same content same route. you don't need to seperate the content. just let ppl access, no need for seperate areas....'
remembered how well that worked before the civil rights movement?
cuz umm this is what its turning into... i'm just waiting fir an ffxiv "i have a dream speach"

and why I say this is because the "hardcore" groups will form up. Meaning no group for me to kill nm.get it

That negates nothing. It's not a matter of drops, it's a matter of content. *all* content should be accessible to everyone. And i don't mean the *rewards* from the content, but the content itself.

This game already *lacks* content. It doesn't make the slightest sense for SE to design content that can be enjoyed just by a small minority of self-elected elites.

honestly this civil rights casual vs hardcore is getting old.
casual are not asking for easy mode
and hardcore are not no lifers.

stop putting these petty lables on each other as its starting to get silly.
no one wants content to be easy, no one wants stuff handed to them
casual are no worst then the hardcore
and hardcore are no better then the casuals

we all payed for ffxiv, as players. We are just that players. We all play the game at different times, and different durations. But we bought a game to enjoy. Bo one has any more right to content then any other person

we all just want content to have fun with. And beable to do all content SE makes.

I just do not want to be left out of content because of not enough players, which was my biggest pet peeve of ffxi. I had time to do content. The only reason I couldn't was groups were full. I only got to do a lil bit of dynamis (till shell broke over drama) and lil bit of sky (till shell broke over drama)

I thought I already fixed this problem with a brilliant idea for the "hardcore".

Ok I got the solution to this problem right here. For the Hardcore SE can make an NM that has a respawn window of 36 hours. Then the NM also has 10,000,000HP and take roughly 24 hours to take down so it's super hard. The reward for taking down the NM is you get 1 shiny coin. When you have 100 shiny coins you can trade them to an NPC along with an item of your choice and that item will then become a +4 item.

As a casual player I would not have a problem with the hardcore players doing something like that, because frankly anyone who could pull it off would definitely deserve there +4 Tricorn.

And to be clear I never caused any of my LS drama my sky LS had NA and EU players and a ffxi revolutionary war happen in my LS a british player tried to take over the shell and force the leader to quit by making it so no one could do sky when he got on.

my dynamis linkshell broke up over 2 paladins fighting over armor. 1 guy was tokd he could loot that run, the run before. But then a player back from break pulled a sinoirity(sp) move and the first pally wasn't allowed to lot.

I just did the content to do content not get rewwarded for having fun >.>

But they are HARDCORE this is what they do!!!!! Making it 99 coins would just be making it easy mode duh ^^

as ppl are saying its not about the rewards, its being allowed to do the content ingeneral. I personally don;t care for rewards. I just wanna have fun.
I saw sea just befor i couldn't play from money issues. and i have been playing the game since ps2 launch. the reason it took so long was due to lack of help. I ended uo doing afterv the level caps were gone.
I will say i felt good soloing the 3 mini bosses at each of the 3 towers to gain acess to the palace. I even had linked a few times so I fought about 4 of those "angel" thingies. was fun :3

ya and even hardcore get screwed over since there will not be ebough people to form groups for every hardcore.
big issue in ffxi btw.

Well, as long as they keep the drop rates REALLY low, then I can agree with this.
