I just like ticking off checkboxes and throwing them in the "Done" pile without having to grind grind grind grind and work against my fellow player to do so.

The most expensive thing in the game I know of is 50 million gil. Me, the casual player, has 46 million. Can somebody tell me just WHAT you need 70, 80, 100, 500+ million gil for? Seriously, now.

"I can't wave my epeen around and I don't rule the MBs!"

.......good. Maybe average players can enjoy walking up to the MB and actually being able to buy something now.

Nobody “needs” billions or 500+ million of Gil at all. It’s just a fun personal achievement. Who are you or I to criticize the way someone chooses to play the game? Also, I have yet to play an online game where people aren’t competitive in any way shape or form. It’s fun.

also, ARR and HW encouraged hard effort and grinding. which spurred a large amount of competitive hardcore players. (or as you would like to call them, “elitists” lol). so if you want to blame something, blame that. if FFXIV started off with SHB crafting back in ARR, .you wouldn’t even hear of people like us, promise you you wouldn’t. because we wouldn’t play this game, expecting the developers to listen to us, like we unfortunately have been doing the past year or so. but no more. it’s clear which player base they care about now.

just because you personally can’t or refuse to understand someone’s point of view, does not mean you’ve got to be so negative towards them. liam was just being honest, and I personally understand his frustration as an ex-hardcore crafter. but at this point there’s really no need to be upset since the developers don’t care for players like us, just gotta enjoy a different game now. (which i am gladly doing)
