It makes me sad, but I'm genuinely no longer having fun with this game...

There are so many factors that are contributing to this...

1 - The first one is hunts. Queues have been severely damaged, if you are a tank or a healer it's not significantly noticeable, but if you are DPS it is. Also, they've trivialized everything.

2 - Atmas. I've gone through it, and not just once, but it saddens me how SE is deciding to go this line. SE doesn't understand that the majority of people did the Atmas because they hadn't a choice (despite most countertrolls think by saying "it's optional") but because the desire to get their next tier of their relic weapon was higher than the amount of boredom they had to put up with all the atma horror story.

3 - Power Creep. It's happening so hard in this game I really want to cry...things like Stone Vigil HM or Hullbreaker Isle which are a complete joke in terms of difficulty literally destroy and triviallize stuff like Copperbell Mines HM, which by the way is significantly harder than the other 2. Also, you have these 3 primal EX fights which in my opinion require a lot of coordination and are extremely exciting and they've turned them into "mount, vanity" farm fights And then there's the ECHO to even leave them more behind. In terms of difficulty, T6 is not harder than Titan EX (without echo) yet one gives basically nothing and the other one nets you highest tier equipment. SE is releasing new content and blatantly throwing out from the window the older one.

4 - Melee Classes. Ridiculous. Why can a BRD parse a brutal amount of damage pressing 4 buttons (straight shot, venomous bite, windbite and heavy shot) with the occasional buffs and bloodletters and Melees have to deal with overly complicated rotations with FLANK AND REAR REQUIREMENTS. Now this is my MAIN complain. I don't mind the hard rotations, but what's this flank/rear business? Especially in a game where you can only reliably hit flanks and rears IF the enemy is standstill, there's no absolute way you can coordinate a flank/rear in a moving target, in fact, 90% of your attacks don't even land on moving targets forcing you to recast them (which puts melee classes even at a more disadvantage), let alone LANDING A FLANK/REAR hit on enemies that are moving. And then you have all the melee dangers which all the poor DRGs and MNKs have to deal with, no wonder they spend more time lying on the floor than fighting. When I see someone playing DRG or MNK, I feel bad for that person.

Are you admitting you use parsers?

Why not? You can parse as much as you want. You´re just no tallowed to use Parser Reults to blame someone on his Dps.

1- I agree with you 100% there, many others do as you can tell by the countless threads about that, yet no official response.

2- Atma is terrible, but it is true that atma is a choice, there are several ways to get to the same result (except for i115 weapon) and atma/animus is just another option. This doesn't mean the system should remain as bad as it is right now, it needs a change.

3- I agree to some extent, ilvl sync would fix that but should ilvl sync be implemented now there will be no reason to gear up for people who don't do coil, gearing up to the point of making dungeons extremely trivial is something we will have to live with.

The three first EX primal fights were turned into mount and vanity because they are considered outdated content, you cannot expect people to stay forever locked doing old fights, you can only do Garuda EX so many times before it gets boring.

The common perception is that high difficulty = high reward, but that would only be true if content would be getting harder over the time, which is not the case, content difficulty is independent from each other, some people who could never beat Titan EX are able to beat Levi EX or Ramuh EX, some newer fights will be harder, some will be easier and I'm fine with that, an ever-escalating difficulty would eventually reach a point where new content will be impossible to clear by 99% of the playerbase, specially in this game where they work with really small numbers for damage and HP.

4- That was an odd choice of words if you play on PS4, but moving from that, I think melee classes are just fine. Bards have a higher initial burst, yeah, but past that any melee should catch up and surpass them after a while, besides if they have to sing the TP or MP song their damage will go down until the song is no longer needed. I'd worry more about the future second archer job (ranger?) who will probably be pure damage with little drawbacks.

Incorrect, you are not allowed to use parsers at all, admitting you use parsers is enough to get you banned.

Newp, you can't. Well, from Yoshi himself, they can't detect if you do, so "if" you do. Don't tell anyone as any reports of someone using them are investigated.

Obviously his or her friend parses, just like everyone else. No one parses, it's some other nameless person.
