dev1031 You are losing your main playerbase by making things too easy/fast/casual

i see all the casual crowd happy with the content added to them. i am happy for you guys, but as i asked earlier everyone overlooked was what happens when the casual crowd gets to higher levels and there is nothing to do then? the only thing i said is that if they added 20 new nm's then a few of them should have been aimed at the higher level/hardcore members. i have no problem with them catering to a certain group, but it is not right to completely neglect the other group.

FFXI was just a game, it had no set market to sell to, it wasn't catering to casual or hardcore. It was simply a good MMORPG, they made content, ignoring if it was "casual" or "hardcore" and the game did very well. Did they make money off of FFXI? Yep! Tons! I don't see why they need to change their style of doing business and creating video games.

With the direction video games in general are going(trying to please the casual crowd) I can see video games becoming really blah, and slowly dying for anyone who remembers what a real game was, making the games become very boring and bleh. Oh well, we still have 30ish years until this eventually happens.

but you are still ignoring the major point. if they put in 20 new nm's why did all 20 go to one group and say sorry we don't care for you to the other? all i said is out of 20 new nm's that a few should have been hardcore/higher level mobs.

yoshi is proving that he only cares about part of the base and does not care about the other part. this is the issue that i have with yoshi and wish tanaka was back in charge. if you want the game to be successful they need to cater to a wide range of people not just one group.

I agree everyone is like "Yoshi" omg yes he going to fix this game but really all he done is make this Casual. He just not really doing much. Everything that be added to game was tanaka paperwork for months he just went saw it and cross the things he did not like and fix a few of them.

If yoshi going to make this game 100% casual then i like Tanaka to come back and add hardcore events for us.

Problem is you casual players don't want to meet in the middle only thinking about yourself we play this game meet us in the middle.
