Have we gone too far?

[Snugglebutt]

I am pretty sure this thread is a troll thread as the OP has not taken part in any discussion within since making the original thread, however what amuses me is for someone called reality_check...he really should go back and check his facts and the accuracy of his statements because a some of the statements are not true and some of those percentages are not even close to reality.

I concur with the majority of the people in this thread who are reasonably happy with the game in general right now because of how it was made to be pretty casual friendly and not a game made for the hardcore crowd. The hardcore niché has a small amount of content they can get their teeth into but this game is not by design catered specifically to them as others have said. Wildstar was catered to them and it failed miserably because of it, let's not forget also that FFXI still exists and can still play that so if you do indeed prefer that then nothing stops you from playing it instead or even at same time.

I have played XI and I have played this one since 1.0, I enjoy ARR more than both the others.

THIS ^



I'd like to see you do final coil solo >

Give it a bit. Once level cap is raised and we have like i180+ gear I'm sure there will be some solo runs lol

Where is your savage coil Bruh. Can't take anything seriously without credentials.

I'm not seeing the problem with the game being "easy". Due to maintenance costs being much higher than other games, the company needs as many paying customers as possible. If you make the game too hard in any way, you start losing customers that don't have the patience for such things.

Then you lose other customers because, although they can handle the difficulty level, some of their friends can't. And if they wanted to play a game solo for simply the content, they would play a singleplayer game that has the advantage on content due to not having to worry about accounting for hundreds of other players while developing the story.

You should probably clear Second Coil before making pretentious proclamations like these. Realistically, you should probably clear Final Coil before making grand standing proclamations like that, but come on, not even a T9 clear?

Just because I have not been there yet does not mean I do not enjoy the challenge. But far be it from me to keep you from sounding stupid and elitist. Carry on.

I think if anyone is to blame for the transition of play styles of FF11 to this ARR it is the players. And not just the players of this game or FF11, but rather, all MMOs. The market has changed. People seem to want a more WoW-esque game. So to survive, developers of this genre must adapt or die.

[MilesSaintboroguh]

That's not exclusive to MMOs. All games have changed to be simplified, hence the glorious use of quick time events, auto checkpoints everywhere, and games telling you exactly what to do. The gamer has changed, ergo, the market must adapt or get left behind.

The hardcore segment of pay-to-play MMO players has been shrinking for years. I'm a perfect example. I no longer have the time nor patience for hardcore, elitist douchebaggery. Played Eve: Online and dealt with/participated in it for years. Now, I'm a casual and this "easy" game suits me just fine.

Snip.

Welcome to 2015, just be glad this isn't a freeium to play like everything else on the gaming market.
