Why the hate with endgame fights?

[Tint]

an enrage timer is foremost a way to gate content behind the gear spiral and to make sure people take DDs with them - i don't think they are "difficult" in the first place, it's just a cheap move from the devs to make sure we won't go back to Coil T2 enrage tactics ^^

fights are difficult enough without enrage timers, proven by the fact that people will wipe for weeks on the hardest fights, without ever seeing the enrage, because they die loooong before the timer runs out...

and yeah, i think you can compare bullethell games and FF14's endgame. in both you can't win with skill alone - yes, you need skill, but you also have to learn the boss rotation / bullet pattern, wich is always exactly the same, until you know beforehand what will happens next and how to deal with it. and that works with wipe over wipe over wipe...

however, i see nothing wrong with it, despite the fact that i don't like it much.

but i really REALLY hate it to wipe because you ran out of time - it just feels so cheap...
