Eureka... what were you expecting?

[Krotoan]

That's a git gud issue and common sense of not fighting things that may make you wipe.

... Except doing content relevant to your level in Eureka all has the chance of wiping you. Or someone could train something too big onto you, which is a whole 'nother ball of wax I'd be glad to tear apart if you'd like.

Anyway, you are not giving me the feeling that my points were reassuring at all, so I'll take my leave and simply say "let's wait and see".

Indeed we'll have to wait and see if it's truly as bad as I think. But for now I HAVE to play because if it is as bad as I think , there will be little I can do to catch up. This means I will continue to complain and present cases for this to be fixed unless I get a response that assuages my fears beyond depending on people not being horrible.

as to the issue of death being devastating if a party wipes... I honestly think 90% of the fun is surviving the road from NM to NM, even with the meat shield of the NM train in front of you. Tether for example on RDM is incredibly useful in Eureka. Sleep works in the same fashion

your "fun" is my "reason to quit FFXI".
