Raise/Ressurect too low

[Kilta_Firelotus]

easy/hard is subjective dude. As is fun.
One person might find something easy. While someone else would think of it as hard. But both find it fun. If you think the game is too easy for you snobby ways. Find a harder game. I hate ppl like you. I seriously do. You think your soo cool that you take a video game so seriously and think your all that. That a lvl 14 raise isn't good enough for "your" game bevcause you like tedious fun. If you enjoy getting kicked in the jewels do not play a t rated mmo. Go play DCUO on a pvp serve. You will get kicked a lot.

If anyone wants a "hard" challening gamke seruiously gp play dcuo on a pvp server. Both factions are inter mingled and you die a lot. And you gear does in fact break. Oh and no one helps. Much like pvp in Aion. Honestly i hate macho tough guys.

It's pretty damn insulting to go from ffxi, which was epic difficulty and forced you to socialize, to this game, where you don't have to try hard at all. I didn't say I was so "Cool" and all that. You said that. I don't think I'm better than everybody else. I'm pretty average skill and achievement wise, and if you knew me in the game, I'm probably one of the more helpful person you'll know. I just want a challenge dammit. I want that feeling of desperation. A quadriplegic can get rank 14.

I would say having Raise at R14 would cause people to be more social and helpful than having it in the 30s.

I agree i hated not having raise in the dunes in XI when people didn't wanna loose exp. Having it 14 is great for new comers

Man, Playing White Mage in the dunes with Levelsync was a godsend. "We need a raise!" "BRT gotta desync."
I loved helping people in the dunes.

In ffxi, there was significant exp loss for death penalty, which made taking a raise very ideal and helpful and very much appreciated. In this game, there is no fear of death, there is no punishment. You can be back on your feet attacking the mob asap, no consequences. I highly doubt the dungeons are even that hard that we need raise at 14, not only that, they already stated that we can pick our own difficulty and no level cap, so most can probably steam roll thru it and be done in 3-5 minutes, just like the way we are doing leves now. That is not going to make the game any better.

For god sakes, throw us into the fire. Make us climb a really high mountain. It is the difficulty and challenge and struggles that forces people to bond. "If I can do it all on my own, I don't really need anybody else." That is the attitude in the game because it's too easy. That is why nobody talks or seek outside help. The developers do not respect us enough thinking we can only do baby steps.

Time=/=Difficulty. A huge majority of the stuff in FFXI was not Difficult, it was time consuming.

Hell, I soloed Rank 3, 4, and 5 because I could. They were easy. The only difficulty I had with any of them was bumrushing Castle O past a bunch of true-sights to trigger a cutscene. But even that was easy with Whm/Nin, Stone Skin, and Utsusemi.

Events that require more then one person are even easier, the only thing difficult is getting the people together, and when I played XI I was in some of the larger social LS's which made doing so really easy. Hell Sunday nights was Delkafutts night for us, anyone who needed it I'd run them up to the 10th floor to get their key and get their cut scene in the basement.

I love love love this post so much. Thank you. Certain FFXI players are just so confused about what makes something difficult. Having to stand around doing nothing for hours waiting for something to pop is not 'difficult', it's just time consuming. Getting raise at 25 instead of 14 is not more 'difficult' it's just unnecessarily stressful. Sure, it might feel more 'rewarding' and more of an 'accomplishment' but that is not difficulty. Strategy, tactics, using your knowledge; now that's what I want to see and that's what I consider difficulty.
