Why everyone wants do PotD speed run?

[Vanitas]

All I'm gonna say is don't let other people's opinion ruin the game for you it's just the forums. People will always disagree with you in one way or the other. But if you let yourself get this bent out of shape because people don't agree with you then you'll never be able to enjoy the game sad to say.

Also if you don't want me post more stupid threads and reply in any threads then just report me so i get banned from forums.

Sorry, but I'm no leftist. I don't try to ban people for spouting BS. Also, this is a forum. If you have ideas or an attitude that the majority does not like, you will be judged for it. It's only natural.
Most people try and try and try until they find a group that's able to get the kill.
You, however, only whine about how it is "impossible" for you to beat it and that you will never be able to get past this challenge. In addition, you chose to whine about in on a (more or less) public forum, as if you wanted other people to console you since you are so "unlucky".
And no, you will not be banned. Stop being such a wimp and be mature about your mistakes.

Well i have to beat some endgame content to get decent weapon that is better then ilvl 200 weapon without doing PotD or crafting.

No you don't. Give the relic quest a go, now that it's nerfed it's even easier to get a "decent" and "up to date" weapon, with just running level 50 & 60 dungeons that are normal/regular content. You won't have to step into any content that's declared as raid or any extreme primals.

What do you need a 200+ weapon for?

Your issue is, as I've said before, is too focused on other players. You want a better weapon because someone else has one. You're too wrapped up around how others see you. You want to be successful and have fun with this game and just about any other MMO? Do what you can. Don't worry about what others think of it.

As for continuing to play, that's entirely up to you. Its not my place to tell you to stop. I can give opinions, advice, or feelings. But that's it.

So you are saying that having ilvl 200 weapon in lvl 60 dungeons and 24-man raid runs is ok?

It is not perfect, but doable as long as you put some effort into your job. And to be honest, I've seen worse.

You might have to put in more effort in newer content (Baelsar's Wall, Sohm Al Hard, Dun Scaith etc) but the other stuff should cause no problems.

If you're going to have that attitude, I'd recommend steering clear of MMOs. Part of the game in this genre is working with other people. Communicating with one another. And being able to take criticism or having a discussion. You don't have to be able to complete crazy endgame content (I've not even stepped into Alexander myself, still working on getting to that point). But at the end of the day, you do need somewhat of a thicker skin then you're displaying.

Getting yourself banned won't stop the discussion. You -might- be able to get the thread locked, but someone can simply create another one and quote from this one. And if you'red banned you can't stop it. If you want out of the discussion, simply stop reading. But IMO its a tad bit arrogant to think you're the sole focus in this discussion simply because you created the thread.

Honestly this completely goes against what FFXIV set out to do. Everything is super streamlined to avoid the situations that OP gets into. It's an issue that should be fixed.

I used to get upset at speedrunners but I've realized that I can just solo my way through the place, but not everyone can do that and they shouldn't be removed from rewards because of some people.

I mean, this isn't my first MMO. I have a really good idea of what I like and don't like in PVP, so unless there's some truly novel PVP format (and this game doesn't have one), I don't actually need to try it to have a really reliable idea of whether I'll like it or not.

Yeah, it doesn't take a genius to look at the way you have to earn PvP-necessary abilities over time (on top of the usual gear disparities), combined with the rather slow combat overall, to come to the conclusion that PvP is a mess.

I have a 180 weapon on my white mage. Why not?
