[FEEDBACK] UNSYNCING + DIFFICULTY SCALING

[Revenant9]

I disagree, if this was XI I would...having cleared cop pre nerf and the second ls to do so on that server, I can tell you this kind of bling and title bragging is mostly meaningless.

The difference between XI skill and XIV skill is apples and oranges, what you essentially have is a game that is a hybrid of monster hunter with some modern day casual mmo features, it's not a trad mmo where it took people months or years to be 1 of 1 or 1 of very few per server to have gear that actually mattered and titles that really were earned.

I love this game, it's taken some time to adjust to what it really is, but it's the current FF online game, and I understand fully why changes have come and why "serious end game" does not really exist in ANY mmo anymore.

We are living in the modern casual mmo era, we can either integrate as best we can or move onto something else.

I agree, Personally me and my static and many others have worked hard on clearing content and earning things such as ponies, clearing coil t1-t13 and acquiring items from these things at level 50. To see other players achieve every single thing that we did unsync'd like it's nothing is a slap to the face. Stuff like "titles" and "achievements" should only be given to people who earn them. Now you see everyone walking around with the final witness title and they didn't even experience the whole fight. huge slap to the face.......

Correct, you had your special snowflake status at level 50...now you have a new one for level 60. Let the others have the items (mounts and such) that came from level 50 since they will most likely be the same players that don't get the current level 60 special items for beating the hard content.

As far as titles go, there should be titles like WoW does called "Ahead of the Curve" where you obtain that achievement or title for beating current content, then it gets removed once the next tier has come out.

I don't understand why there can't be some sort of compromise. All I see right now is everyone that wants hand outs from the game. Why can't the current rewards be split into 2? The old gear/mounts for unsynced folks for who want to farm those and get glamour, and crafting items/title for people who do the game on the level it was intended for. That way it can still hold some value to still do the game synced. It also gives a chance for newer level 50s or people who took a break and resubbed a chance to do some mid game raiding without having a hard time finding others to do it with them. Quite a few people want to experience coil the way it was. Something that is old for you and me isn't old for others, it would also make it so the old content didn't die as easily. But I'm sure many of you will disagree with compromise as well because most of you seem the type to just want free hand outs in the game.

Excuse me but I am pretty sure you dont skip anything beside MAYBE the Add Phase on T13 if you go 8 Man unsyced. And just because "you and your static" worked soooooooooooo hard on coils you want to take the chance of new players away to get it? You know that no1 would freaking run old shit unsyched? I dont get how people in this game are so selfish just because they think they "achived" something. As if t13 was that hard to begin with lol.

When midcore and casual crowd is victim of powercreep: "Hey, its how MMORPGs are, get over it."
When "hardcore" and cheap eletist crowd is victim of powercreep: "Hey devs, this is unfair, balance please."

[Minerva-Redwater]

It's not cheap elitism when players want everything to be fair. People shouldn't work hard to earn things then players who don't earn anything and just blow through it get the same trophies as the people who worked hard. It shouldn't work that way at all. Maybe for clears yeah, but not for achievements.

Achievements and Titles also are also "Drops". Only normal they crumble down under the pass of time and the weight of the powercreep hammer. Even braging rights have due date.

The only issue I have with unsyncing is second coil savage. Anything else, it's really not that big of a deal. In fact, I love plowing through old content like that, practically unstoppable and everything.

The whole point of 2nd coil savage was to provide a challenge, there's no additional loot or anything tied to it other than an achievement and title, so why allow it to be unsynced and still count? With that said, I still agree with what some others said before, bragging rights are long gone. Anyone who probably cares enough can probably already tell if someone had cleared content unsynced or when it was relevant.
