Need for Non-Hardcore Content

[Lobselvith]

Shouod Coil be the be-all and end-all of current content?

Why are there still not PvP or normal-mode raid content?

need for non-hardcore content? whats is there in FFXIV that is Hardcore?

the game is nerfed enough as is. you want it to be more nerfed??

Hardcore is a game taking months to lvl to max lvl and get some gear, not a week playing Casually, I personally wish it would be more Hardcore, not less.

Coil just takes a group of 8 ppl that know how to kill the boss. it's not that hard.

I pray that PvP will be more Hardcore.
last thing I want to see are a bunch of ppl QQing saying they need to nerf jobs. because they can't win against those jobs in pvp.

we need more Hardcore content end of story.

Coil is as hardcore as you make it. If you just log on with a static a couple of nights a week and it can be pretty casual, while still letting you get gear.

Are you serious with this post? They already confirmed Crystal Tower and additional hard mode dungeons in 2.1. How much more non-hardcore can you get? To be honest, Coil really isn't that hardcore aside from t4/5 and can be done through a random pick up group. Really, if you're lvl 50 and wearing full DL with a relic weapon then you're probably more hardcore than you think and you should give coil a try instead of whining that it's too hardcore.

What about Mediumcore?

That wouldn't work, you would have the Softcore crowd screaming that it's too intense, and you would have the Hardcore crowd screaming that it's not thrusting deep and hard enough.

In other words, there isn't this massive group that wants 'normal mode' throughout the game. The majority tends to cover three types of players:

1. Hard Mode Players - people who want the game to be 'balls-to-the-wall' hard from start to finish.
2. Easy Mode Players - people who want everything handed to them on a silver platter from start to finish.
3. Incremental Increase Players - people who want the game to be a step-ladder in difficulty. Basically starting off easy and slowly increasing difficulty throughout, up to 'balls-to-the-wall' Hardcore endgame.

These are the main types of players I have run across in my experience.

Not exactly sure what you call hardcore in this game but to each his own. Everything is easy street from what I see.

Pvp is coming, really nothing else to be said about that as it won't get here any faster than it will.

As for the raid thing.... I would rather they already completely halt with all the "this mode that mode" and just have a variety of content some more casual some more serious.

Hildebrand storyline quest will be a Non-hardcore endgame quest chain but it is not released yet.
