Why is this game such a chore...

[DukeBurden]

This game is a joke in difficulty compared to FFXI. This is super casual. Idk how seasoned you are as a gamer but if THIS game is too much work/difficult for you then there\\'s no hope lol.

Other question: if you like much work/difficult why you are playing this game and dont go back to FFXI?
I am just bringing up this question because when you argue like this you have to reconsider your own choise and think twice before talking.
Following your argument, YOU are "now" no longer hardcore, but become super casual yourself...

No lag here. Game is great. What were you expecting from an MMO? They are designed to be major time sinks. The minimal amount of time it takes to get things done in this and seeing people complain everything takes too long or is too hard is laughable.

The only thing I can agree on is the occasional bout of latency. But that issue is described thoroughly in at least one other thread in the General forums alone.

LOL @ game being a chore. go back to wow. there's nothing laborious about this game. Had you played something like EQ or even early eq2, maybe Aion or another Korean MMO, you'd truly know what "a chore" it was to do something in an MMO. this game... no.

Not sidding with either side here, but you sound really angry.

A game is a chore when you treat it as such.

It feels like a chore because they want you to repeat and rinse in the tens of thousands. It's a grinder game to the enth degree.It doesn't really matter what you are doing, leveling a craft, farming fleece, clearing a dungeon. You do it over and over and over and over and over and then log out knowing you will be doing it for weeks and months on end, depending how often you play.

As for the kill shot boss mechanics, it's a rip off from Tomb Raider games. Jump Lara up on to a ledge next, next, a sequence of fail until you become a living macro or just make a macro and say screw it.

Given both the Japanese school system (Hello, Jukus!) and the (IMHO inhumane) working hours on a typical "salaryman" job in Japan, I have absolutely no idea where you get the idea Japanese people can dedicate more time to a single video/computer game than "Westeners" can.

You mean Japanese players aren't all NEETs who live at home with their parents and play games all day? ANIME HAS LIED TO ME!
