Idk i know most people felt 11 was that way but i felt like leveling had so much more meaning. In 11 having good gear actually meant something while leveling. Having the right party setup.. This game is just so easy.. Stick any 8 people with any jobs with any gear and you have a fast as hell exp party. SO stupid, then they add rested experience.

Otherwise the rest of the patch info looks suprisingly decent.
From what I understand, think this game is too easy. And, furthermore, you think the new additions to the game make the game even easier. By reducing the challenge and effort required in the means, you effectively reduce the meaning of the ends achieved. While you may think this, I feel it is an improper way of thinking and ultimately wrong. However, I think it would be more accurate to say, the 'sense of accomplishment' is diminished in reducing the challenge and effort. This I would agree with.

However, you already have the ability to arbitrarily increase your difficulty in many ways. You could fight monsters that are much higher in level for example. There is certainly nothing stopping you from experiencing the effort and challenge you desire in FFXIV.

Now, I anticipate you would suggest that, because everyone else can XP much easier, it reduces that feeling of accomplishment even more. So, I would just answer, your need to impose your will and opinion of what the game should be in your eyes, is of little or no concern to much of anyone.

If instead you offered your ideas as a suggestion or an opinion to be taken more seriously, maybe you would achieve the results you wanted more effectively.
