I actually dislike WoW it's way too easy and the sad part is, it's more difficult than this game.

I understand you are trying to make a point, but no.

Add ons make it even easier.

My bf put me on his priest (At this point I had never touched WoW, seen few vids and that's it not even the trial version) because I was calling him a filthy bad casual (lol he's horribad!) he put me in a heroic dungeon, no add on. I healed the dungeon just fine. I was given 1 minute to look over things. That game is easy, HoTs heal for almost 1/3 of people's health, there's so many skills that heal for you. It's just faceroll easy. Even old WoW players will tell you the game is beyond easy now. Yet it still requires more thinking power than here which is beyond sad.

If you're having a hard time in FFXIV you either
A. Have lag
B. Have bad reflexes
C. Have lag and bad reflexes

I just watched that video you linked. You think going in a dungeon and no one saying anything about you not dpsing is bad? Here you don't even have to enter a dungeon you can get myths to get i90 by do treasure maps and tier 3 beastmen dailies.

I've just resubbed yesterday after long hiatus. The one thing that I noticed is Quarrymill pops that it was used to be brimming with people 24/7, now I barely see a group of people standing by on their mount at town to grind fates. My FC, which was pretty big (250+ member-ish) seems to be dying, only 6 or 7 online persons. Probably they switched to another game, or w/e, you know Titanfall, TESO, Diablo 3 expansion (idk if people playing still this), Archeage, Wildstar, and not sure if Blade and Soul (JP) gonna affect my JP server

While I tried to unlock Crystal Tower, which need FATE quests, I had to do 3/4 of those FATEs solo with my mount because there's just none's around, oh well im lucky my mount is healer so I could finish them fine.

I joined another FC, small one 20-ish but at least most of them are active.

I'm feeling it too. My FC of 5 players is now down to 3 mainly with 2 only logging for mainly coil.

I'm just waiting for the live letter at this point. I hope they plan to make improvements to the loot system in 6-9 otherwise I don't see myself sticking around. I'm not interested in another 7 months of farming 6-9 and never seeing the items I need drop. Just endless mnk/drg loot.

Atleast we'll have something to do! Atleast we'll be able to run it with other people! Atleast other people will be able to catch up depending on how much time they put in. You can't do that with a token system, you will always be behind.

Lets not forget coil is RNG with a week lock out as well. Everyone thinks it has to be 0.000001% rng OR "Here take this epic for logging in" There can be a middle ground.

Come on, you seem like a smart gal....

If you set the system to a 1% chance @ rare drop with unlimited tries, new people and people with a lower play time will have an even greater disadvantage, statically. The way this game will progress is that with every other patch or so the iLVL cap is going to go up, and the tier below will become a free-for-all.

i.e. in patch 2.2, Coil 1-5 is going to be spamable, as well as the myth cap going bye-bye. That means that a new player can start the day of 2.2, get to 50 by the end of the week, and a week later have full i90 by either spamming Coil or spamming Haukke HM. It is extremely easy to catch up with a token system.

Now, if the Myth cap stayed as restrictive as it is while at the same time new gear tiers with similar or more restrictive caps were introduced, THEN it would detrimental to new players.

Also, what is stopping you from running stuff with people you know? Duty Roulette? You either value your free 50 myth per day, or you value running a dungeon with your buddies. If you are hard-core its not like you need to use Roulette to cap myth anyways.

Also: This IS the middle ground. You can get easy-peasy full i90 set in like, 5 months, or you can do Coil and get 10-15% chances of getting loot every week as well to get geared faster. This is the combination of those two things.

lol - I can second the RNG on DRG loot! I went 5 weeks of 1-4 clears without seeing a single iota of MNK loot though - just bad luck!

Snip

Yoshi's whole idea is to not have a gap between casuals and hardcores. With token systems if a casual misses a week or don't cap (Hence being casual) they will always have to play catch up. Having to wait 3-6 months until they remove cap so people can catch up is the same thing as having a gap between someone who can farm and someone who can't. If someone invests more time into something why is it that they can't be rewarded? Gaming is some people's hobbies, usually when you spend a lot of time with a hobby you have something to show for it. Why is it expected to be any different here?

When I spoke about running things I meant coil, since that's where the problem seems to come in and you can't duty roulette with people, it's a solo thing.

The comedy never ends around here.

Your turn. Where's your evidence?

Marketing or not, if you cannot produce concrete evidence to dispute a claim, you need to hush up. SE has gone as far as to make an official statement that could be challenged legally. Are you willing to do the work to do the same, or are you just going to be a side-seat speculator who thinks that empty cynicism actually as worth in the world?
