[ffxiv-future] A request for "Player-Selectable Difficulty Scaling"

[Preypacer]

Comments like these are not welcome in this thread. I specifically asked for you people to be more considerate, and you're failing quite horribly at that.

I'd try to justify everything, but the point of this is to give people flexibility and choice. This isn't about just my friends' health, but a fundamental aspect of the game that needs to be addressed.

I don't like it when games force a tough battle on me without the option to adjust the difficulty - I don't always have time to spend one whole hour on a single boss.

But wait... what does you not having the time to spend "an hour on a single boss" (which isn't the case in FFXIV, as others have noted) have to do with your friend's condition? I mean that is the premise you started this thread under.

You started this thread pleading for the sake of a friend with a medical condition... and within a few posts, you've brought it around to also being about what you want and what time you have.

So then, is this actually all about you feeling that you don't have time and that you prefer difficulty settings in games? Did you use your friends' health as an emotional element to bring more "weight" to it?

I have a feeling you just outed yourself here, Silver.... And if that's the case, then shame on you for using the health of others to further your own personal agenda.

Further, the post you responded to is absolutely fine. They gave a straight and frank answer with valid advice. Just because it wasn't sugar-coated and wrapped up in sympathies doesn't make it "rude".

As for your suggestion, I've already stated in a previous thread that I'm not against the idea itself, but that I question the feasibility of it, given all that can happen in its wake.

P.S. If you 'sometimes' don't have the time to do more time-consuming content, then 'sometimes' you simply choose to do things you can do in the time you have. Save the more involved content for when you do have the time for it. It's not rocket science.
