Thread: Is anyone else really disappointed with the nerfs coming in 2.2?

in most cases it meant that they beat the content with the low level crap gear and then higher level content to get the better gear. While this is becoming a strange concept, it means the difference of earning it versus having it given to them.

If earning the gear is so questionable, they why not just have it so when you create a char, you get the fully upgraded relic, full hero's & alligan sets for every job? after all why should I have to spend a full week to get all that after this patch?

I know exactly what you mean! I find myself not playing end game, only because I don't want to bother the other players who'll see the noob as a burden.But it's not like I don't enjoy a challenge, I just don't like to read guides before hand (that's not my idea of fun) and I can be slow to learn but will get good with a patient team. I'm slowly finding more players to do end game with from my free company and via linkshells / forums / blogs. I did a run of Pharos Sirius finally last night with a group from the free company who answer my forum post about wanting to explore / learn the dungeons and not just clear them in a confused frenzy, or getting carried/dragged. But I totally feel your pain regarding duty finder. It's a shame and unfair that so many players are impatient on the duty finder, excluding new players who aren't willing / able to learn faster. They should be finding their own groups and I can't help but be angry at that. Sometimes it makes me want to join in spite even if I hold up the group, but then I think why bother / as if it will make a diff.

I do hope the buffs will help and I can see what their purpose is, but there's a part of me that still has faith I will find a patient group to eventually to run coil / extremes with, and I'm sad we won't have the chance to tackle it at it's original difficulty one day. Saying there will be more difficult content doesn't apply because I'll never be using duty finder for the reasons stated, and therefore will always be only able to dabble at endgame when I can finally get a nice group together.

The terrible mechanics is what makes the community worst imo. End game is like an assembly line where if a player fails, the line is broken and you have to start over. You have to know each and every step to succeed. In other games it's more forgiving so if you have someone that's not as good they can still get through and the party doesn't mind as much.

The OP and the comments in this thread shows clearly the "elitists" in the game, ruining the game for the majority (casual) players. Things such as "know the fight" or "fail = kick" are definitely hurting the community.

And No, someone should not get the same rewards for doing half the job.

His sig even says it's not his main account, so don't take it too seriously.

That they are and it is not just with that when it comes to certain aspects of discussion some people are just so negative.

Look guys it's not really difficult to see why they do it, it's a simple matter of population. There is less people doing that content. The playerbase is heavily skewed to the top end content already and is ready to move on. What happens when that new content hits, and people left behind are left on a whim of "People fancying to go back for the giggles" it kills any new blood as they will have a harder time intrinsically because they will have less people to do it with. Think queue times a long now? Think how long it takes to queue up for Cape westwind, that'll happen for every old content dungeon eventually.
