How SE is alienating talented players

[Lux_Rayna]

I think AF gear should be much , MUCH harder to acheive, But thats just my opinion.

Agree except for this. AF is nowhere near good enough to warrant the level of difficulty you're implying. I mean if AF was the best armor in the game bar none, sure. If it was better than double-melded gear, sure. As it stands I could single meld an entire set of armor and have it be superior to AF. If AF armor got a significant buff, I could support what you're saying lol.

Game is too easy as it is, bring back the honor in being "elite" in this game before you start calling yourself elite , at this point half the server is "elite"

Its not finished, it kinda has to be easy lol. Can't balance a game's difficulty without having a strong foundation. Let them get the job mechanics and stuff hammered out, then you can throw all the difficulty you want at ppl. Give it some time lol.

As far as the elitist thing goes, reminds me of all the F2P's I played...everyone was "elitist" rofl. Even on those cartoony faceroll games bahaha

lol OP's LS has horrible luck.

But I agree drop rates (Ifrit, Moogle, DH, CC, and AV) are junk.

Lol is anyone bothering to read or see the progression of the thread? Passive aggressive QQ -->> troll -->> acceptance, farming regardless. More memes the better though.

I bet this is how SE is fight back "farmers"

But seriously, maybe the game is intelligent enough to give people - who are excessively trying to farm these items - the finger.

I just wanted to add... this guy (OP) that claims to be talented is the same guy that is complaining about how fast and easy it is to level jobs.. this guy took advantage of the exp rate and now that he's achieved all 50s on his char he wants to screw all the newer players by telling SE that they need to lower the rate of exp to make it a longer drawn out mission to level classes/jobs to 50.

OP is a hypocrite and quite frankly I'm satisfied with him and his linkshell not having received a CC/AV drop yet.

Um.... would you prefer someone at level one all jobs to tell you about the rate of exp gain? /confused

No. In fact I think all those in favor of such a thing should start from scratch. Keep all achievements and levels of doh/dol but all classes/jobs start from scratch. That way they get a taste of their own medicine

I have multiple 50's and wouldn't mind starting at rank 1 again if the game was engagin enough to warant the grind. If it can't be engaging then we may as well just start with rank 50 characters and cut the middle man (PL) out.

Well back to the topic the thread started on. I agree, content is too easy and the drop rates do suck. In one of my Linkshells, me and one other member are known for having super bad luck. After Countless Ifrit and Moogle kills we have gotten 3 weapons between the both of us. Then we have members of the LS who show up once a month to events get 3-4 weapons in one night. Or the two (I'll leave them Nameless) people who went 5 runs 5 weapons back to back to back.
Its depressing being forced to do content over and over when the rest of your linkshell has got their loot and moved on to new content forcing you to look to PUGs to try to play catch up.
Enough of my rant. All we can do is hope that Square Enix hears us and makes the game fair to everyone and get rid of this element of luck stuff.

Funny how some people who log in a few times a month get loot faster then someone who has 100% attendance for several months.

Btw I've only gotten 4 Nut Charms and 6 Totems.

*Again not a QQ post just kinda posting it hoping that SE will fix it.

we did start from scratch. how many of those 10k an hour(if you were lucky) crab parties were you a part of? how many classes did you cap farming doblyns in copperbell getting 50-80 sp a kill? how many classes could you get into fatigue during the course of a week? how many levels did you get gathering when a successful gather was 80sp? how many synths did you do when you had to manually insert every item after each synth without a turbo controller? how many leves did you do that you get zero credit for in achievements? how many hours grinding did you put into crafting to turn around and have zero credit towards luminary tools?

oh nevermind you just started mid december last year and already have every battle class to cap so you did none of those things. believe me those of us that started back right around release put in our time to get levels and weren't given things like you have been. in fact things we have already earned we have to go back and redo just to get in game credit for them.
