Endgame Content To Easy

[saber_alter]

-snip-

so...asking for a single level of progression is immediately a red flag and we should start taking pitchforks and torches to the hardcore raiders? nice marketing plan.

they may count for the minority of the population, but they also are the ones that are clearing the way for more casual players so the content isn't absolutely broken by the time the bulk of the population gets to it. (seeing as how they are responsible for bringing to attention every bug that has been fixed so far in coil...)

i understand why some hard-core raiders are mad, i think there are better things to be yelling at SE about than vertical progression *cough*customersupport*cough* but its not something to go to def-con 3 over. they want something new to do, that's more challenging than what is available. we beat hard difficulty, now lets set the difficulty to "11." i believe everyone is entitled to their own opinion (regardless right or wrong), and i am fine with saying what they want, yes some of it annoys me, but in the long run, it really doesn't affect me.

the "one percenters" as you called them (i shudder at that name) that are impatient and expect things to be perfect at the beginning are what get to me (this isn't everyone, of course. i will not be mentioning names, but i have seen posts that basically is this). this is because i remember a statement about this that new turns of coil/sections of CT were coming out every other patch (so i'm assuming new turns in 2.2, new sections of ct in 2.3...etc.) so i don't see what the problem is...other than the people screaming "I payed for this game so therefor I'm entitled to have it now."

just my 2 cents.

I'd prefer more challenging content and I know I'm not alone in that.

Took you a bit to smell out sarcasm..lol?

Know what the problem is with people who want difficulty ramped up? They never stop wanting..

They keep whining and whining about how everythings SO easy and how the game should be changed to suit them, the 15% of them that make up the game that is..

And because most of them are also forum rats they get their way. Coming in here constantly QQing about how they have beaten it all and it was so easy and now they got nothing to do..

So the game gets "harder", and "harder", but the problem is that "hard content" is also hard to achieve, so often all that whining results in a game with annoying mechanics and restrictions, not hard, just annoying..

If that's the game you want, by all means preach on, but in my view, anyone who is so obsessed with achieving virtual recognition for their deeds must seriously lack a sense of worth in real life..

But hey, dont mind me, keep living through the game..

What game have you played that content got harder. Content always get easier for people like you that go and whine on these forums to the dev's like a child that just had it's ice cream fall on the ground. Endgame is not meant for everyone it's meant for people that put the time/skill into to get it down making it a very rewarding and satisfying experience. As a matter of fact it's the only reason we play MMO's. We absolutely love challenge's and super insane incredibly difficult one's as well. Because when you put in the hard work and dedication and you get that down. It's like a high I cannot even put into words. All your hard work and wiping over and over finally paid off. People like to work for things in games, and believe it or not in life. I know this concept just blew your freaking mind so i'll give you a moment to formulate a response while you pick up the peices of your brains off the floor.

Plz increase difficulty.

Include a Hardcore mode as well. If you die you need to start all over.

Thx.

Well that's just awesome .. start over :P ( I know it was sarcasm) They did a lot of polling around this game when they were redesigning it.. it is created more for the casual gamer than anymore...so Id say its pretty good what they have also done with end game, based on what I have read at least

Your opinion on this matter and the stance you take makes you very cool and awesome on the internet, I wish we were all like you.

Forgive if my post sounds to much like a troll. The fact of the matter is a game finally did the right thing. They put content to a level way out of reach for the average audience. To me it's brilliant. I love solving puzzles and achieving great feats. Virtual or not an achievement is an achievement is it not.

I find use of tact essential in the art of persuasion. Your OP came off to me with an epeen stroking vibe so you know, naturally I was more inclined to respond in a certain way. And by the way, I agree with you. I like the way how content is tuned right now and hope it doesn't get anymore watered down than it is. FFXIV is the first game in awhile that actually has decent encounter design mechanics. Obviously, MMO veterans will pick up on this quicker than others and I hope everyone will at least give it more of a go before QQing.
