More Rewards for Harder Content?

[Alex_Lenderson]

It can be frustrating trying to find groups to do things that aren't even 'hardcore.' (Bismark-ex is not hardcore but trying to find a PF to do it is annoying). A lot of people won't even bother attempting something unless there are rewards for it. So why not give people rewards?

I'm not necessarily talking about gear treadmill but lets get creative. Maybe tomes of EXP that can level an alt in one go. New exclusive glamour gear for x6 months. Currency to buy post season awards. Mount food that makes it go faster for 1x hour.

The easier it is to get players to do non-face roll content, the better trained the server will be and more ready to tackle harder content.

Bottom line is that Bismark-ex and Ravena-ex ARE harder content than Alexander - shouldn't there be some better awards for it?

at least the raid gears should look better than Alex and Void Ark gears.

They can't give better looking gear for harder challenges because "better looking" is subjective. I wouldn't mind different looking gear though.

I don't even care if the gear is ugly to my tastes, but it's insulting to have different gear with the same look. you can't look at someone with a gordian AS4 body and assume it's the A4 one, you have to actually check them.. or they look exactly the same as someone who has never touched savage. they had no issues with coil gear. why did they get lazy about now i wonder.

[Alex_Lenderson]

My point is they don't seem to do a good job of providing reward choices other than glamour and ilevels. Give harder content that requires teamwork something different. Be creative!

Its hard to find good players because this is not strictly a hardcore game. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but this is not dark souls online; more people are focused on obtaining pretty glamour then beating content.

People make decisions on the margins. Put a carrot out there and you'll get more people trying.

That will work about as well as getting you to do low level Roulette by offering tomestones. Alexander Savage has all of two things I want... but, like hell I'm going to put up with people like you to get them. As such, I haven't even unlocked Alexander Savage. I have no desire to make a chore out of a game.

"People like you?" Really?

lol you're talking to someone who claimed to love challenging content but has never cleared any coil fights beyond t4, cleared most ex primals only 1 month before expansion launch and even then hasn't cleared some of them too. I was looking for someone's post where he was admitting to being a terrible bard (it was hers) and I even found her chastising someone for not going for bis pieces when that someone mentioned he is in full tome gear. Which is hilarious when you consider when this person dodged coil hard for most of her xiv life.

Even if you somehow managed to entice someone like this with items that she wants, she would most likely find some other excuse to dodge doing the content regardless of who she parties with and you probably wouldn't want to do it with her anyway, since she's most likely ill prepared.
