Endgame too challenging and teamwork based (Hear me out)!

[amnie]

You can't have it both ways. Either the content is difficult, engaging and requires a team... or it's a boring faceroll.

There's no middle ground.

of course there is, and most MMOs actually do reach the 'middle ground'.


you will (almost) always have one group complaining the content is too hard while at the same time there will be another group saying they went through endgame in 2 hours and it's way too easy.

hell, it happens in almost every single player game, too.

some people are just 'better' at games than others. and some people are just 'dragged along' without actually noticing it (especially dps I see this happening a lot, but it can happen to tank and healer as well)

Im a gamer who loves a challenge.

Get recruited into a hardcore raiding guild is my only advice mate, dont let casuals hold you back from enjoying the game

Sadly, I'm already bored of most of the content because the game is too easy. Coil is the only thing left that requires any effort. Making the game even easier and I'll just have to hope something else comes out in the near future that can offer a bit of a challenge.

Wait, you're saying endgame is too hard because you can't field the people that are familiar back to back every week? I think you're missing a key concept of this - you will not progress without a stable team. Make a free company, pickup your groups. I've gone through the entire game with the same people up to turn 4, and you know what? The fights are difficult, and sometimes frustrating, fights break out, people rage quit, but that is what makes a game good. Don't come round here trying to ruin my fun

Agreed, on turn 4 now, with a total play time for 5 hrs or so a week. I wish the game was considerably harder or more things of equal skill level to knock over per week. WoW may not have been the hardest of games but at least there is tons of content, easy as it may be, to knock down each week.

A fair few people seem to think that MMO's are supposed to force teamwork. At my job, I lead 22 people in my division, and we collectively generated over $38 million USD last year doing what we do. Its work. I enjoy the challenge as well as the sense of achievement when we hit milestones and especially when we come in under budget without sacrificing quality to do it. MMO's?

Why would I pay someone else to pretend to do such things? Doing those things IRL is infinitely more rewarding; seeking those experiences is infinitely more rewarding.

Maybe MMO's should be more like what they're acronym misleadingly describes rather than sweatshops of mindless drivel for those yearning for surrogates of real team and social endeavors? I dunno. They are what they are though, and it makes me sad.

They could do so much better than ...this garbage.

This must be your first MMORPG...right? Sad to say but raids in XIV are really...weak compared to the other big name MMORPGs.

IM guessing you just read my title and replied without reading... I already said I do it with my FC and fill with Linkshell. I feel content should not be so difficult that you have to assemble a team of good players to get it done. Doing turns 1 and 2 we had to coordinate our free time and get it done once a week. It would be nice to have endgame progression anytime I can log on without the scheduling and player hunting....

no, I read it quite well. If your FC cant seem to muster the coordination to do turns 1 and 2 then maybe you need better FC mates? Ive raided in many games for a long time and non (except wow) were pushover events. You need people that can pay attention.

Basically what you are saying is that you want content to roll over for you... no thanks.

Don't blame the game for grouping up with terrible players. Once you have a good party, everything runs smoothly.

[MisakiSatomi]

This game is already too easy, just that most people are too stupid to learn. Nothing you can do with that.
