Endgame Content To Easy

[jumpstreet]

The thread name should have a name change to Endgame content is appropriate where it is at. Anyways this is in regards to: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...r-me-out%29%21
I want people to stop for a moment and think about endgame content and it's difficulty. Why do we play MMO's? What kind of thinking made these games so popular? People striving to solve an insanely difficult puzzle? Hard workers who wanted to do something that felt so incredible they jumped up and cheered? These are the kinds of things that make me consider playing a game. I simply do not understand people who want things handed to them. Do you know what your asking for? Your asking for everything to be so simple that, if you played WoW and can relate to this, loot is just handed to you from a box on an island and requires no thinking, trying, or motivation whatsoever. This kind of player should not be welcome in our FFXIV: ARR community. People need to work extremely hard to get down the current content and when they do, well let's just give an example. http://www.twitch.tv/itstort/c/3050629 Fast forward or watch the whole thing if you like. But do you see my point? We worked on that fight forever. When we got it down, well just listen to the end we cheer and are super excited. That makes the loot so worth all your hard work. And gives a sense of satisfaction you cannot believe. People may argue that it's a video game we just want to put in a few hours and have all our stuff. Mechanics are too difficult. We don't have the time to put in to get these things. Well here is my reply to that. Are you that selfish that you'd ruin the game for all the people that work hard for those things? I'm going to start calling this the WoW disease. We need a cure, FFXIV is it. Please everyone we need to stick to this and work hard for the things we want. If you agree the content is at the appropriate difficulty please like and say something. Give me your thoughts. I want casual players to understand this way of thinking so they don't complain and actually embrace it!

You know what? You're right..

I feel like I should get one shotted in a dungeon every 2 minutes, if I don't have a huge repair bill at the end its just boring. Also I feel like we should ditch healers as they heal and that keeps you alive and makes things far too easy, also when you die you should lose 3 lvls and all your gear.

Why can't I kill party members with my aoes? I think friendly fire would add another beautiful level of difficulty. Also make it so every add drops no loot and double the amount of them, I wanna spend 6 hours in every dungeon..

Let's keep it serious. Less troll.

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..

Plz increase difficulty.

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

Thx.

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.

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.

+1 Jump. We need to make sure that content isn't nerfed into the ground. One thing that made WoW so successful and keep so many subscriptions around BC time was how hard it was. Look at how much their subs started to drop as they kept catering to casual players. I think a mix is good and healthy. Don't just cater to one side or the other, but make HARD challenging content as well as something like Crystal Tower will be. This keeps all sides at bay for the most part. If people are saying Binding Coil is too challenging... I just laugh because we clear it (at least up to Twintania) in 45 minutes. Last thing I want is for that to get nerfed and now I am suuuuppppppperrrr bored the rest of the week. That's how an MMO loses lots of subs, bored players. At least if the players who can't complete Binding Coil work towards it and better themselves they won't be bored, and it helps them look up to the players who can do it and make them want to achieve something.

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.
