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

[Gaddes]

Compared to FFXI, this game is a cakewalk. And yet, tons of people still managed to finish the vast majority of the content in that game.

Managing to finish content and enjoying it are two different things. Banding together to finish CoP? Tricky but rewarding. Spending 30 minutes on Jailers praying you get SOMETHING to drop, and often just getting a seal or nothing at all? Not so much. I'm glad the drop rates in XIV are nothing like the BS that was in XI, but the "mechanics" behind a lot of the HNMs and higher mobs weren't really complicated at all, especially with more than 8 men. The multitasking going on in a lot of the Coil battles is more complex than most of the FFXI ones. Granted, I stopped playing before the Abyssea expansion, so I don't know if they made battles trickier in that.
The endgame elitism in this game seems well on the path to somehow becoming even worse though, so I guess that's an accomplishment.
