More Difficult Single Player Content Please

[kazeandi]

That's what drives me crazy at times about some of the community. "It's too easy I'm bored we need challenges!!" -> "..but you could make it harder on yourself to make a challenge?" -> "no, there's no reward for that, I want everyone to have to do it harder!!"

Don't let that get to you. It's normal human behaviour.

What we're dealing with here is the need to stand out for people who lack direction and/or self esteem in an anonymous online world. People want bragging rights. That's Type A.

Then we have people with a lot of free time to sink in a game (with FFXIV being their current game of choice) who got bored after burning through content at a fast pace. That's Type B.

Then we have veterans who've been playing consistently for years and have seen it all and get sick of incarnation 225 of "fight through trash to kick boss with 3 other players" and would love some variation, that's Type C.

What we all have in common is that nobody of us wants to feel like we just wasted the 2 hours we had to play and achieved nothing.
How about something completely worthless but nice if you're out to get it, like, say, black barding dye, or maybe a certain glow for your weapon that does nothing but making it look nice?

Mission accomplished.

I do wish job quests involved you learning how to play your actual job with the 50 and 60 quests culminating in a battle where you have to put all your knowledge of the class to the test. A GLD quest was the only one i know that actually told you how to use flash.

I love a challenge so I support this, but then again people don't. So optional challenging single player content would be great.

WoW new skills = level. No paying trainers. Not for combat skills.

Now stuff like green fire?

4k gold, 220+ attempts and 3 15 hour days.

you guys remember ff7 gold saucer. there was a mini game that had you fight waves of increasingly difficult badies. this would be easy to implement and tho its not the be all end all its a start. have it reward marks or consumables or titles or whatever.

I cringe when I see people say completely new features (especially something in-depth like a Coliseum) would be "easy to implement".

I can get behind this because I have no one to blame but myself If I can't beat a instance fight.

i think they need to add more mobs with unique attacks hat you're actually scared to get hit with. I remember always fleeing from tonberrys in ff so I didn't get hit with everyone's grudge same with cactuars and the 10000 needles if they have attacks that you know you have to watch out for I think it would increase the experience of a lot of ppl

Yes, special attacks would be nice. And if it just to give the enemy types more personality.
During 1.x as an examples, the moles went underground to do an surprise attack on you with jumping out of the ground in your face (if you have not go away some steps). Wolfes tried to attack you from behind and antilopes attacked you with their back legs (inclusive pushback effect). Oh, and Chigoes did their stongest attack the moment you did a weapon skill on them.

The player has been trained to master their job. Make them use those skills.

I can't help being reminded of the AST job quests (since I'm suffering through that one rn)... go to spot X, talk to A, go to spot Y, talk to A again, go to spot Z, talk to B, cast Aspected Benefic, cast Aspected Benefic, cast Aspected Benefic, go to spot X again, talk to B again - and so on and so on. Yeah..........
