Do Not add Raiding at ALL for 4.0

**RubyScarlett** · 12-20-2016 12:55 PM

Wait....what? NO! Raiding is SO MUCH FUN! No seriously, it is. Sure, it makes me want to pull my hair out and my neighbors probably think I have problems from all the yelling at my TV, but it's literally the most enjoyable thing in the game for me! I used to think I wasn't good enough for it, and raiders used to really intimidate me. But now it's literally what I look forward to ever week.

Besides, they always add in other ways to get the upgrade options at a later patch. Everyone will have the ability to be 270 by the time Stormblood hits. Some of us will have just gotten there faster.

Raiding is fun, challenging and really accessible this tier. Try it!

Or just wait for the next patch that will let you upgrade tomestone gear. They can't offer the same powerful gear in different content unless they make said content just as difficult as the raids themselves. Otherwise the easier stuff will be the go to for gear while raids die.

Is raid gear even required outside of raid content?

This old chestnut si spouted in every MMO forum I visit .. and my reply is always the same: no it isn't so let's make 'raid gear' only usable in a RAID, outside raids 'raiders' can use the gear the rest of us can get in the content we (and they) do together.

I like this concept! O.O #naokiyoshida read.

That would defeat the point of the content. May as well make Hempen Camise/Hempen Undershirt boost VIT/MND/DEX/STR/INT by 50,000 points.

No, raid gear isn't needed for anything outside raid content. All story content and optional side content - outside of the 8-man and alliance raids, and EX Primals from the current patch cycle - can be completed in story gear. Players who do not raid, or do not want to, are absolutely NOT forced to raid because the gear is unnecessary for their continued play.

Players that enjoy raiding, need raid content to keep the game interesting for them - and supply the gear they need to progress through the raids.

Two sides of the same community, we need both.

Couldn't agree more with you on this one we need both, as for the raiding scene it's been a lot higher this patch then any other yeah it's easier then say Gordias and Midas but it's enjoyable and accessible for anyone to jump in and do it. SE needs to use this as a base to continue on into Stormsblood then ramp it back up to where it was with previous raid tiers I myself as a raider didn't enjoy Gordias that much just to the sheer clunkiness and how the fights were made but that's just me I can't speak for the whole community.

With that being said though i've talked and helped many people with Creator savage and they really enjoy it and want to continue with the raid scene which makes me happy.
