[Poll] Hard vs Easy (Yea, I went there)

[Kiote]

I'm pretty sure everyone has been saying not stupid amount of hours spent.. The general feeling I'm getting is Short Fight with Difficult Strategies to Win..

I also do not want to Camp a 36 hour spawning Monster only to watch someone else kill it.. I am of the opinion that Epic Monsters should be manually spawned and the Spawn Items should not be obtained soley from NMs.

I mostly just want a fight that is gonna take some skill and maybe 20 mins..

Like this post if you like:

Content that requires you to form strategies. Content that you can not complete without cooperation of party members (where applicable.) Content where success is often as good a reward as the loot that comes with it.

This got my vote, stategic and engaging content pls
I would add engaging content,

I don't mind a long fight of lets say one hour as long as I do not have to freaking camp it ... I remember fighting Tiamat in FFXI when it was just released for hours and hours ... same for Vrtra. That was insane fun. Lots of wipes, deleves and more, but it was FUN and it was damn challenging back then. Too bad those were HNM's on spawn timers and not manual spawns that was the only downside.

If the Fight is Engaging and A challenge I wouldn't mind it running indefinitely but i would not want that to be the norm..

This is an over-simplified poll based on an overly complicated debate.

I can't vote on this poll this is far too black and white. There is a place for both types of content and stuff that runs in the middle ground. You can't simplify this issue into "Easy or Hard"

It's not about what content you would like to see added, it's what type of content you enjoy more. I enjoy all forms of content. Easy, hard, quick, time consuming, yea I love options too. I'd love to see a plethora of different content implemented in FFXIV. But overall, I enjoy hard, challenging content more than any other. Though if you still think the options are too black and white, I respect your decision of not voting.

This isn't for the cap, this is for difficulty of content as a whole.

pretty sure it was a joke directed at the capped vs uncapped threads where all people who want uncapped just want a free ride.

Technically, you're both correct. It's about the type of content that people most enjoy, but the decision to make the poll itself was heavily influenced by the results of the cap vs no cap poll.

I'm fairly sure everyone already knew what the outcome of this poll would be, it really wasn't even necessary. The whole reason for making this poll can be found here:

Ultimately, it's just to prove a point.

I just don't want to give SE the bad impression is that all the people want is hard time consuming challenges.

Hell most my suggestions revolve around long-term goals.

Bestiary and Time sinks like Tripple Triad and unique quest rewards hell I was even mulling around the idea of adding a "encyclopedia" into the game for us lore nuts who wants these detailed explinations at our fingertips when we learn it ingame instead of needing to rely on Wiki's to fill these sections out.

But I know that short term, easy, just fun stuff is going to be integral part of the game that needs to be there at the relaunch. I want a balanced ammount of both.
