Why the hate with endgame fights?

[RiyahArp]

Key word - one-shotted enough. If a group is so bad that multiple players keep getting oneshot, then that's on those players...

The point is that's really the only difficulty they can do. All they can do is make mechanics faster, and make them one shot you. So all you do is learn the pattern not to get one shot, and thats it. They add dps checkpoints and enrage to force losses instead of people just zombying through with the raise penalty like you could do in casual content. They can't do much in the way of pure random content because of this. it all has to be scripted tightly.

I mean...you do have 24-mans. And besides that, wouldn't that neglect the other FCs that don't comprise of more than 8 members? And let's be honest here, a large part of the player base can't deal with a few bosses that only have a single pattern. One would think it would be easy, but no...there's still a large portion of the player base that can't clear these fights. And you want to introduce variation? I mean, hell, players still screw up Hashmal on a weekly basis, and he is certainly easier than fighting Shinryu normal.

...remember that alex fight with the four robots? That's what 24 mans are. Same thing, just the smoosh all the bosses in a tier together. Still instanced, still as scripted as solo fights. Diadem was really the only endgame style that came close, and people savaged it even though V2 was a better iteration of it because OMIGOD MY .01% CHANCE AT A BIS WEAPON BETTER THAN SAVAGE.

I've seen your posts, you keep hating on endgame, raids, housing, glamour, the community...
If you have this much hate with the game, why are you still here?

The hate is coming because they refuse to grow the game, and the community is honestly getting stupid about it. I have no issues with glamour, i do have it with content that really just copies wondrous tails and doesn't do much for players beyond once a week for ten minutes. If they want to make a stage and have weekly community run GM events and true fashion contests, go nuts! That might actually help make us a community. Some stupid instanced junk for yet another token doesn't solve this, and we've already seen that formula repeat itself.

The community just has no idea any more. They argue about parsers when most FCs are silent graveyards and have a half-life of a year. They worry about ice mages more than they do an empty open world. It was one thing when HW was new and they felt like they were working stuff out, but ugh,stop obsessing over one job doing 500 less dps on farm runs and start on how little content we've had to do the past seven months.
