This patch dropped the ball hard

[Whocareswhatmynameis]

I can see we have a LOT of players here that weren't around when the weekly cap used to be 300...

And I'm sure if people complain enough they will increase it to 600. Which is why you will more than likely see people make threads everyday about it till it gets changed. I think it's already bad enough you can get the second strongest gear in the game from doing item level 145 dungeons. The esoterics should come from ex primals or something IMO. I think during HW i will slowly wane myself off the game and start looking at other stuff, I highly doubt I'll buy another FF14 expansion. Not because I don't like the game but because I don't like the carebear community

And this is why I've hated the hardcore playerbase for years. The blame rests on the "carebears," which I guess I'm a part of since I don't agree.

ITT: People who rush content are complaining that they can't have everything they want in the first day when the content is released.

I recommend you to play another MMO, a f2p one where you can get everything if you pay for it.

Ah yes the pattern continues
SE releases something for casuals: Hardcore community whines and moans

Not sure if the DPS check is more real than the salt....

Again no one is complaining about getting it immediately. It's the fact the process that we go through literally takes about a half hour to an hour to run the required content and have to wait a week to play the game meaningfully again. The fact locking trade in currency at a low amount forces players to wait unnecessary long time is getting tiresome. Nobody wants it right away, we want improvements to a system that isn't any fun to work with and becomes a massive chore rather a fun experience.

So what do you suggest? If they remove the cap, the segregation between those who have time and desire to grind for everything will be wider. It happened just right now at 3.0 with Law tomes and hunts. It also will dry up these players with the same issue: they won't have anything to do.

More content? You know we already have tons of it, for different tastes and playstyles, and that it gets updated quicker than other MMOs.

Tons? Such as?


You realise it gets updated faster because they release less then other mmos do in a patch, right?

Other MMOs? Like what, WoW? With a major patch who only gave twitter integration? how many dungeons has ArenaNet added to GW2 since launch?

Just a month after release SE added 2 raid tiers and a PvP mode, along with 3 different sets of gear and a ton of hotfixes. I wish Blizzard would do that.

We could start counting the number of bosses per raid (and per extension) in wow and compare it to FFXIV, but it wouldn't be for the benefit of FFXIV.
