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

[Doo]

Everytime I get hit I think to myself "I'm going to get kicked. Just another Dragoon that can't dodge..." x.x;;

It's CT most players won't care enough as long as they beat it. If it's that bad, usually they leave rather than kick someone. You can't play afraid, you will most likely mess up more that way.

Fights like Titan Ext are the ones that are really bad. You try to help someone out and you can end up in there for hours with nothing to show for it.

HmHm, never been kicked in CT for anything or even raged at. I keep silent 99% of the time anyways 8D So idk why I keep panicking but I do lawl

Yeah that's another reason why I wouldn't blame people for wanting experienced players only lol. I have fun all the time pretty much but even I would get annoyed if we spent 1-2+ hours getting nowhere. Titan HM was fun. By the end of the week after spending 2-3 hours a day failing at it everyday I was just annoyed with it. I wasn't mean to anyone ofc, but I wasn't having fun either 8D

Because.. the world revolves around you and people stop having kids after your generation?.. i don't get why people repeat this... "im all grown up, i have a family, i have a job..." does that mean, there are no new kids to replace your old self?

So what explanation do you offer? You have attacked me, but offer no logical response. Don't you realize that 90% of all gamers don't have the time to enjoy all of an MMO with work and family schedules? Haven't you learned that paying the same subscription fees, entitles all of us to the same amount of content? Can't you comprehend that casual easy-mode something-for-nothing content will generate literally millions and millions more dollars for them? It's a business and they want more money... And maybe, just maybe, Yoshida would like all Final Fantasy fans to enjoy the entirety of his creation. Surely you can see that.

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.

to me:
'casual' players are those which chose not to invest any effort but still want to have the same rewards and be carried through the game as if everyone else owes it to them.

'Hardcore' would be those who look up the fights before they enter and know their jobs quite well.

There is nothing preventing someone from checking youtube for 15min & spend 5min on a training dummy before they play.

No one cares if you only play 2 hours a week as opposed to how much value you add to the party. Not all PF are 'training' pts, and nothing in the ToS says I have to hold anyone's hand.

And to me

"Casual" means players that want to do content at their own pace without having to bother with drama and stressful environments because people can't down content causing negative behavior over a video game.

"Hardcore" means "elitists" that don't enjoy being called out but detest the fact that others will get advantages and privileges they didn't get so they have to find ways and means to justify being petty.

Your content isn't going away and your continual accusations are nothing but irrational bursts of anger.

Can't believe I forgot to say this qq
but I wish you luck Velo_Vandore in your search and have fun!

It's absolutely hilarious how ass backwards you have the terms casual and hardcore, seriously.

Hardcore vs casual is all about time investment, skilled vs unskilled and dedicated vs undedicated are vastly different things entirely.

I've met casuals who in terms of skill and ability to down fights absolutely stomp the everloving daylights out of most "hardcore" players. You are not a special snowflake, stop acting like one.

so for you, "casual" = "not wanting to play but I want it all nevertheless" and "hardcore" = "please skilled people, carry me with all your guides so that I can have no challenge figuring mechanics in a fight that I'll despise the second I beat it" ?

Sorry to wake you up, but no people watching guides or knowing the fight before they enter should have the right to call themselves "hardcore". You're no Hardcore. You're being baby-fed by true hardcore players who dirtied their hand tearing apart a fight from A to Z, and then provided you a guide so you can be an elitist bragging "XX fight is so lulz, 2 death = kick".

You sir, have no right to call me someone who did not invest any effort. I think I've put more effort than you in this game, by actually learning the fights instead of letting others learn it for me. Though I'm casual, being way slower than a lot of you. Yet what I did, I owe it only to myself and the great people who learned with me.
