[FEEDBACK] UNSYNCING + DIFFICULTY SCALING

[Ilitsa]

I'm surprised no one else has said this, but yeah, Ramroddicus is a fairly known (known as in, anytime he's seen in chat, he's just ignored, or blisted) /sh troll on Balmung. Sometimes he's funny, but mostly he's just annoying. Ignore him.

unsync is not the problem. it's a symptom. people throwing around terms like "elite" and casuals" is also a symptom of the real problem. the problem is the community that FF14 has created. why should anyone stick around to help or play with others when they can just do EG content pretty much when they want to? no need to find people to join with for a common goal when you can do the EG content on your own with random strangers largely any time you want and just quit a party if you feel they are not on your level (not talking about those that just want to faceroll a clear). some people take longer to "get it" but often do not get the chance before the party breaks. why do "old content" when you can spam EG to get pimped out so you can not play until the next patch. unsyncing content is a bandaid that may help a little to just get people through content. even with that it still has it's issues. you may have cleared a primal many times before the unsync but that does not = an instant win as there are still mechanics that will wipe a party esp when phases are being skipped.

No thanks I like what SE done here.

It is old content I am not gonna duty up for like 2-3 hours waiting for someone to get into a party and I don't use party finder.

Rather team up with friends because if I team up with strangers well usually it goes south and people begin to fight and people end up getting kicked and I rather get my item than sit there and go through the drama many many times before I least beat it once to get a lot I might not even win and deal with the whole mess again.

If SE feels the content is old and that it should be unsync I fully support their decision, however I don't agree with things on forums half the time cause well it sounds like you just try and ruin it for others.

anyways that's my take on it. I much rather get a reward then do it for nothing so no to whatever you are purposing.

Too much caps lock in original post. Did not read.

I have to admit, I'm not a fan of how unsyncing turned out and it's not because of the whole "you just don't want others to have that stuff! Why do you even care? Epeen!" statements and accusations I always see. Honestly, I just wish there was some encouragement to actually take the more challenging road. As it stands unsyc just completely undermines the other two options to the point where you might as well remove the others altogether. It's not surprising of course, not much reason to take the more difficult route when you just want to reach the end destination.

I'd be much happier if the devs had something just to make the synced and minimum ilvl options worth considering. It doesn't have to go as far as removing the unsyc rewards entirely, but maybe something like a higher drop rate on the rare drops when you go with the more difficult options of the fight.
