    I am hardcore, do i care if casuals have access to stuff? hell no i dont

    If you read through the other bajillon threads on the topic, the "you have access and want access to stuff others don't have" mentality is rather prevalent.

    it is, and so is the "i dont wanna have to play as long to earn stuff" mentality

    in the end it doesnt matter, casuals will always sterotype every hardcore, and vise versa


    the truely defining thing between the 2....is that hardcores will ALWAYS earn stuff quicker then casuals because they play that much more to earn it that much quicker. Which is how it should be.
    No one is being denied content, but your playtime should dictate how fast you can get to content and make it available to you.(mainly this is done through leveling or quest chains, since the more you play the faster you get them done)

    The only qualifiers you should have to participate in an individual content should be having the proper level, the proper team, and the proper skill level of play.

    Arbitrary Time sinks of sitting in one place for 10 hours waiting for one monster to spawn do not fulfill any of those qualifiers.

    I have to thank Square-Enix for the amazing job they have done recreating Final Fantasy XIV from Scratch. Especially the inclusion of Missing Genders which we petitioned for in good faith. This was proof to us players that the Developers are truly Sympathetic to our requests and that being honest and vocal can pay off with the amazing characters we have who are Female Roegadyn, Male Miqote, and Female Highlanders. Thank You SE, Thank You Community Team, Thank You Yoshi-P.

    a quest chain isnt always a time sink, alot of the time it tells the story leading up to why you are going into that dungeon

    someone here is obviously just looking for ways to argue with hardcore players
