What is it like to be unable to clear all of the content?

[Ri_ri]

I've quit WoW because I never managed to beat any of the raids besides Throne of Four Winds and Dragon Soul
By the time the last tier launched, no one did the ones I actually cared anymore (even with big numbers, mechanics still wiped groups, and no reward was worth the hassle).
I care about the lore and not beating the guy who's pulling the strings completely ruins it for me.

I was afraid I'd be in that situation here too but...

My advise: If your current static group is not going to go any further, I suggest you move on to find another group. Group after group till you find a group that can give you progress through turn 5.

...playing with friends > beating Twintania.

I don't mind wiping on her for months if that means doing it with the people I'm playing now. I hope they think like me.

I agree with this, but I forgot to add-in that this is only applicable for Turn 5. It always feels great to fight a battle with your own static and friends, but the advise mainly is don't try too hard because personally I have tried too hard and realized that I have lost so many things to catch up ingame and in RL.

SO lets see , you have a hard days work at the stock exchange and want to relax into your favourite MMO for some fun .. BAM WHAM BAM beat up / wipe on titan EX ... bam wack ... you feel even more stressed than when you were working.

They need a balance between crazy hard content and enjoyable content which provides enough challenge to keep you entertained .

Maybe instead of BAM WHAM BAM beat up by titan, an enough and fun challenge I have a suggestion, a MAZE dungeon that your party members gets separated into random corners of the Maze and try to find out on how to get to the middle with the minimap and map disabled automatically :P with monsters all awaiting in your way to beat it.

Your first issue is wanting to relax with Titan Ex. That not a stress reliever by any means. Do some easier content, like CT or Thornmarch. King Moogle is fairly fun fight with a somewhat challenging aspect to it. So I am confused, do you want fun, challenging alternatives or to make the Titan Ex easier?

What content has gated you, and for how long?
Turn 4 and 5, Extreme Titan and Extreme Ifrit. I dunno how long though.

Why are you stuck here?
Lack of available people in FC to take the time to work on it. Parties through DF/PF almost never work out.

Are you upset about this? (if so - why? and how can content be added for more hardcore players such as myself without upsetting you.)
Not really. It's not Square Enix's fault I'm too stubborn to leave my friends seek out an FC that suits my interest, or my poor luck with random groups.

Should any changes be made to the content to accommodate you and players like yourself?
Not for current content. Any changes that need to be made lie with myself. I rather not see difficult content made easier because then it's not enjoyable when I do get a chance to do it.

What kind of content would you like to see added in future patches for you to enjoy?
Multiple difficulties for content; one which is easier and can be done through duty finder, and one that is difficult and cannot be done through duty finder but drops higher level loot. For example, duty finder version of Binding Coil that gives ilevel 70-80 loot, or a non-duty finder version of CT that's much more challenging and drops ilevel 100 loot. While I prefer the challenge, stuff like this is helpful as a learning experience and allows more people to see content. This should be available when the content goes live and not later on, however, so that people don't feel they're just rehashing content.

What content has gated you, and for how long?
No content. The only content left are maps/crafting which is completely optional.
Why are you stuck here?
Refer to above.

Yes and No. I do like that i can take the whole week off after beating everything. Can sell Ex primals for a lot of money too.
Should any changes be made to the content to accomodate you and players like yourself?
Yes, the game as it is is currently too easy, but it will become harder I am sure in the future with more content.
What kind of content would you like to see added in future patches for you to enjoy?
Needs better weapons that are worth striving for. All the gear is boring. Needs FFXI relics which only 1% of the playerbase can get that are worth showing off.

Dear Sir,
I think you have mis-read the title of the thread.

It is "What is it like to be unable to clear all of the content?"

You are sadly not the demographic in question. Unless..... there is another reason for your post.... Is there?

Edit: This isn't YOUR study, and it doesn't say we can't respond. Your results would misrepresent the opinion of content because you are only going to get people whining that content is too hard, when the people who have beat it will say it's easy; It would be a biased study, which is flawed as hell for an opinion-based study anyway.

Instead of the above, I would say it is more correct to say, that there is a diverse amount of players with various skill levels and situation. Say it is easy or hard, is only a personal gauge based on a large set of situations and your skill level.

Rejecting others for saying it is hard, is not helpful and meaningful. This is a thread that specifically ask people what content they cannot clear. If you can clear all content, then as I said before, you are not the demographic in question.
