Yeah, the game can be pretty damn difficult if you search out hard battles, but most people prefer to play the SP/hr game which of course is gonna be cake.

Kaeko is the master of FFXI and FFXIV. You shouldn't argue with him because he is the chosen one.

To the OP. It's pretty sad when we have to go to mobs 20-30+ levels higher then us just so we can get a challenge. Like a lot of other things in the game, its a cheap work around that we do that really shouldn't be needed in the first place.

Mmm. Twenty levels above you. Two levels above you. Its just a number? If we didn't know the ranks, it just be, "the hard ones are there, the easy ones here." I think the failing isn't so much about the rank as it is about the lack of diversity. In order to find stuff that can regularly wipe a party with ease for the slightest slip up, you have to TP lock it, or it one-shots the party with an AoE. I could care less if I'm fighting stuff 100 ranks above me or ten below if the fights were diverse, interesting, and challenging. Still, gotta work with what we got. For another week at least.

I fully understand that there is good challenge to be had if you want it, and I do it a lot myself and with my friends as well, because yes, it is fun. I just think it sucks that this is what we have to resort to to have any challenge in the game.

Ok. Let me make a better example of a metaphor. Pick your own difficulty is like Anderson "The Spider" Silva vs Mary "The 60 year old lady with osteoporosis". In reality, nobody will want to watch that fight unless they got issues, but that is how the game is right now. You pick what is a guaranteed win for you. Very few will put their money where it can go either way.

That will have to wait until I'm home from work and therefore no longer required by law to wear pants.

A headrip ogre kill from open beta.

Those that read the "bragging" thread may find it interesting.

Sorry if it was brought up already.
