The growing entitlement issues of the casuals

[buritoslicer]

adding content with "challenging fight and time limits adds to the challenge but.. it lets anyone do them. And if point offer the bigger reward but you can gear mini gear on the event i think that is fair.

I love having to beat a ticking clock. It gets my blood going. Much like that bomb bcnm where after a few min it counts down.

yeah, that or even some berserk timers... if we don't kill the boss before a certain time he will wipe the whole group. thats always fun :P

yes please :3

like some epic rage mode (maybe with mini cs showing your doom.) :P

see i want fights to be "hard" but just anyone can do it to earn rewards (not hand out rewards that is no fun)

what sucks is I really wanted to do nyzul isl because it remended me of ultimacina castle when you loose everything. including the ability to save XD

what is cool about timed fights/conte is they can be feild base too.

but more importently I just want to haave fun. I don;t care how long uit takes to earn rewards. Just as long as I can see the content with friends and ls mates. I'm good I just want ffxiv to be more popular then ffxi. So we never have to do server merges. where ppl actuslly showcase an ffmmo and get of the wow bandwagon :/

On the first page, look at how many people liked alicia's response to a question.
Then look at how many people like'd xeno's response to that same question.

Hardcores, I'm sorry. You are outnumbered. You are outmatched. You'd better start acting like it or you'll be the one out on your ass with NO product, as opposed to the product you're allowed if you assimilate a little.

If you try to press your luck and take the hard line, you'll be taking it outside. Fin. 44 to 1, you don't stand a chance. If you're not with us, you're finished.

What the **** do you mean the growing entitlement of the casuals? We run this house, son. You live under our roof. We keep the lights on. Not you.

Then this game will fail, because everyone knows a 'casual' player cannot stick with one game for more than 3 months.

They've stuck with WoW for nearly as long as XI. Keep telling yourself you're needed by someone.

Dude, WoW is starting to look hardcore compared to this update! Cry more.

I'm not crying, I'm laughing at you.
You are an optional demographic, and one that has proven time and time again that you should be an extinct one because you annoy the rest of us with your painful gameplay pitches and...well pretty much squatter's rights arguments. You're here the most so you own it, is that it?

Either build me a nice log cabin and garden or get off my property. If you can't play nice...if you think everything you see is YOURS...------>

Again, you're an option. Act like it.

I always had a sliver of hope for this game, and continue to play it religiously... but after this update... I don’t really know. I honestly don't have a problem with the low lvl nms and the low level gear that they drop, not a problem at all. Nor do I have a problem with the update as a whole. But I do find the 3 minute spawn time just disheartening... there is absolutely no challenge or excitement, not even for casual players. I am not saying I want these nms to have like a 5 hour pop window, but even the level 10 nms in XI took at least 45 mins... and had a placeholder. Everyone knew everything there is to know about these nms in about 2 hours after the servers were up... that is obviously not "casual player" behavior to jump on ever NM right when they are released.

This game just seems to be getting more and more directed for people who want everything handed to them on a silver platter... it is sad to see a game that had so much potential head in this direction. You are a dedicated player as well Pere, I find it kind of hard to believe that you are perfectly fine with this… also please stop being so rude on the official forms when people are just trying to have a discussion or a debate….

I am not trying to flame or anything. I honestly love this game and I don't see myself quitting because of this update because I still have hope. All I want is for a dev to say something about this, that this game will head in a more challenging and fun direction and there will be suitable end-game for players who want more of a test.. no matter how long it will take them I just want the information... : \
