Method hosting Eden's Verse World First event

Wait a minute, you seriously claim Savage is for the "hardcore"? I raid casually, with casuals, all the time and we all got E4S clear weeks ago. And I am talking 2-4hrs per week playtime casuals, thats a LOT less than most "casuals" spend in their houses alone.

By that standard, I assume you consider EX trials hardcore content too?

so basically you spend all your gametime raiding but spend a little time playing the game, not sure what the title for that would be, casual hardcore?

I don’t understand, what mentality made the devs destroy your favorite class?

ninja was ruined for me because raiders were angry that ninja spells clipped with the physical attacks, now it's boring for me and I am not using it anymore.

2 to 4 hours a week is anything but hardcore. Not sure where the assumption of all time playing goes into raiding in the case you are making here...

The lack of addons isn't a problem in a game with so little RnG and so few variables as FFXIV. Everything in this game can be memorized and planned beforehand. It would be cool if Method take this seriously and not just see it as something for the lulz. Up until this point FFXIV has only had pseudo elitism so if someone from outside bring some fresh blood and real elitism in it would be a wake up call to the sacred birthright aristocracy of the FFXIV raid scene.

Hopefully Method taking an interest in FFXIV will also reach Tokyo and influence future raid design and what direction PvE could take in FFXIV. The game has a lot of potential but ShB has imo been a step back compared to SB even in terms of PvE design.

Method doesn't do anything for the Lulz as they are now a (profit driven) company and it is very unlikely they decided to start this event without sponsorship.

Its almost like the main goal of a business enterprise is to make money.

Yes it is, I was merely replying to someone who believed method still played for free.

There's more than one meaning for casual/hardcore. Some people seem to think it has to do with time played, but that's largely a worthless metric. Calling someone who plays 100 hours a week a "hardcore" player isn't a useful description because it doesn't actually tell you anything about that player. They could be raiding the whole time or doing guildhests.

When most people talk about casual or hardcore they mean the difficulty of the content they engage with. Someone who raidlogs is hardcore, someone who doesn't raid is casual. That is at least a description of a type of player.
