A plea to SE : make it difficult !

[Chardrizard]

I like people that keeps saying Ifrit isn't hard, what a joke. First kills literally takes over 100 attempts, of course it's easy after BG puts their video up which literally means they are holding our hands. Nothing can be difficult when you have done them so many times.

What a joke.


To be on topic, yes on difficult content but not necessary the one with gimmicky 1shot, Salvage-type of content proved to be quite fun (except the droprate) and what i feel instanced content should be like, multiple path to choose and different way to obtain gears.

There are harder fights out there than a fight where the tank hardly has to move at all, and the healers+damage dealers just have to run away from time to time to not stand in the fire + avoid using abilities to not get locked on the spot.

There I described basically the whole fight, that's the joke.

It is possible that 'difficult' (or more challenging) content is yet to come?
Presently the level CAP is at 50, and perhaps they feel that the content here should not be that challenging? Too much challenging content at early levels will discourage players from staying on. But having it at late levels will be less an issue as by the time you reach that level, you would already be 'hardcore' enough to want to stay on?

Hard but accessible content would be prefered from my point of view.
I Think game needs a balance of challenge though.
What content do player want that is a challenge in the game?

To me i see this as taking on some really hard boss as oppossed to killing a monster 700 times to acquire 1 item needed to upgrade a gear piece.

Just out of intrest has anyone tried taking on the level ?? monsters that are in the game ?
Would love know how tough or easy they are for groups atm.

You know, for me personally... It's challenging enough as it is. Try finding a party that will accept you only if you have x-skill and are y-job. Or gathering a party together to do something only after 2-3 wipes due to the incompetence of someone who decides not to listen to orders, deciding to disband. This has been my experience since even Ifrit came out. Have a certain skill? Okay fine, but only "this job or GTFO" doesn't fly. Neither does spending all your time gathering up a party to attempt something only to have 2 wipes later someone going "I'm done for tonight, see you." and then everyone deciding to follow suite.

I originally may have complained about something being too hard, but it's very difficult to even get better at it when you're not given a chance. I've seen how endgame linkshells run, and I don't want to dedicate every waking moment of my time doing nothing but endgame crap. They're fun yes, something to strive for yes. But frequently make me drop what I'm doing to be here at x time on y date or GTFO the LS? No thanks.

TLDR: Make the game even harder? No thanks, how about giving us a better community that doesn't flake out, ditch, or have elitist attitudes first. Thanks.

(PS, this isn't directed at anyone in this thread at all, so please don't take it as a personal attack.)

There is something like a middle way Mihana. Something between giving up after 2-3 fights and doing over 100 fights. You just have to make an effort to find a ls/community which has the same values as yourself when it comes to dedication/ social interaction.
