Let's have a round of applause for bringing grind parties front and center in FFXIV

[SuzakuCMX]

I for one haven't been invited to go and kill monsters by any other people since September. Lame.

I want to be sought out for my sick archer damage. Sought out to go and kill things, lots of things, so I can get stronger.

Things I can't kill by myself, because they are too strong.

I think as long we keep the "Kill things with other people because you can't kill it yourself" dynamic alive the game will be just fine.

ps. One of the tags for this thread is "uss butthurt"

Hilarious, and RIGHT ON THE MONEY.

Now sailing: uss butthurt.

The tag system, abused.

I would be completely happy if they deleted leve's, and the stupid WoW quests ASAP.

Reintroducing Party grinding is the first thing they have done right since this game came out.

And it's players like these that make me doubt this game will ever be more than the butt of every joke.

Pretty much! What do you expect when people have lived under the same fecal covered rock since 2003 though?

jokes only funny to you.

I love grinding. Hated leves. Hated that people quit them just to do the same stupid leves again.

With grinding, people are actually learning their jobs and what they are meant to do. With leves, meh not so much. Mobs were too easy. It's great now. Glad they are increasing the sp a little on behests but hopefully on regular mobs too.

Did I mention I love grinding?

a lot of you have the wrong idea of what quest are suppose to be about. Its not suppose to be about SP or Rewards.
Quest are put into games to give you a better understanding to the people and background of the world. they need Depth and meaning into doing them. Not run here and back for 30k sp. these are the type of quest the game needs, it brings much needed lore and depth into the world we lack so much of.

Something must be wrong with me and my idea's of what games should be like. I've always played games to enjoy the lore and story of the worlds. Not just to beat it as fast as i could. No game should be about getting max level and beating it as fast as you can.

I agree! and for people who just mad rush to cap level THEN want content...im confused..... imagine buying any rpg console game, going home, "kill boars" in the forest till you hit cap.....THEN actually play the game....where's the fun in that?

That may have been the case in XI, but at the moment, there's a mission every few levels, you dont need to rush to cap then do em, they are quite easily managable at the level you unlock with one or two buddies, LS mates, or even just maybe /sh'ing?

Don't need to be capped in this game to enjoy a story or two.
