Confirmation of Uncapped Raids. Confirmation of a terrible decision.

[Rentahamster]

There's absolutely zero reason to balance rank 10-30 content to be suitable for rank 50s. Not only does that make zero sense,

That's not what I was saying. You balance rank 30 content for rank 30 players, and you balance rank 50 content for rank 50 players. Then, the only way to prevent rank 50 players from overrunning the rank 30 content is to put level caps in place like there were in FF11.



Of course you don't design rank 30 content for rank 50 players that would be stupid and that wasn't what I was talking about at all.

Like I said in the other thread: The mark of a well-designed game is proper game balance throughout the entire game, not only at end-game.

Really it is balanced for 30's just because some want to be run through let them you can still go through normally and enjoy it. I dont know to many mmos who atm have capped mid game content. can u give me some examples?

Confirmation of players winning the right to experience the dungeon the way they want to as long as they are the minimum level


lets face it, the lower dungeon isnt endgame, its mid game
mid game content, mid game challenge
endgame characters wont be going there for the challenge

I like this, if I feel up for a challenge then I'll switch to a lower level class, but if I feel like doing a speed run I have that freedom as well. I'd be up for voluntary level cap, but not mandatory. I don't like working towards a goal (rank 50) and have it taken away from me (just to make something challenging).

But all for a level cap/ sync if it's an option set by the party/raid group.

You guys should really just do yourself, and everyone else, a favor: quit the game

Edit: Directed at the whiners~

Well I know there will be no cap right now but I invite you all to go read my thread:
http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...-other-content
Where I suggest an alternative that could satisfy everyone. Maybe more "likes" or post would help it get through to the devs that not everyone wants an easy game and that incentives to promote challenging play would be a nice addition.

I'm almost lost for words by how bad of a decision this is. It seemed like this new team was moving things in the right direction and listening to the fan/player base. How can you even consider allowing this to happen. Many of the threads have talked about the lack of challenge, adventure, and exploration and the dev's responded that they are actively working in this direction. But this decision contradicts that response and totally ignores what a vast majority of the players want in this game. It's bad enough they've weakened the big three NM's to the point where they can be solo'd or duo'd. Now they are going to make it where a player with a decent r50 build could solo stomp through an R25 dungeon? It's been made very clear that people want that challenge and sense of achievement.
We were so excited by the potential of the large group of NM that came out a few months ago, and were extremely let down by the fact that we were able to kill them all and essentially farm all the needed/wanted gear in one night. With this decision, you are setting us up for another great let-down. With all the teasers and pics, we saw so much potential and are getting psyched up again. I'm not sure how many times the dwindling player base will tolerate them before they give up on this game.
We need challenge, excitement, fulfillment, and a sense of accomplishment. As it stands, you might as well just automatically slap the achievement on my profile and drop the loot in my inventory with the patch.

So you don't have a class you could get to 25 to enjoy the r25 dungeon? I mean seriously guys come on.

I complain a lot but finding the most minimal things to throw up a huge fit about is just pathetic.

The point is that things are so easy as it is, many of us don't have anything below R36 anymore. I don't feel like running through a dungeon 1-hitting everything.

Of course not. Since there's no way to delevel in XIV, people who are already higher level in all their classes are out of luck.

Well that's their problem, they certainly haven't been levelling all those classes to make things harder for them. You can't level every single class and expect to have fun with r25 content.
