"We will make it so that enemies will call for reinforcements based on player strength."

"If it’s any consolation, the large-scale changes to battle algorithms planned for 1.19 will cause certain strategies to go out of fashion, and players will need to tap into their resourcefulness to discover new ways to overcome enemies."

Tactical gameplay FTW !!!

The current "Rambo" style of group grinding play heavily rewards you ( in sp ) for simply being in an 8 member group and being able to over power the enemy. There are no tactics, just everyone trying to cause the most damage as fast as possible. I personally dont enjoy group play atm (though dungeons are giving me a sense of whats to come ) and find no fulfillment in downing mobs. Im hopeful for the day's to return where each mob was a challenge if you wanted to attain maximum sp, and each and every sp gain gave you sense of accomplishment and joy.

I KNOW they are working on it and am excited for it, not complaining here.
i LOVE FFXIV Thank you yoshi-p and developers for all your hard work.
