Endgame should be challenging - that's the point (from a casual player)

[AvoSturmfaust]

This is insanely stupid to me...I've been playing mmos for decades, and in EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM, most of the content could be done on pick up, while still providing some kind of challenge. Only the highest lvl of difficulty asked for organised runs on discords. Pretending the need of a static or a discord server to do anything in a MMO is a blatant proof you have forgotten everything about others MMO than FFXIV. Sure Teamspeak/Mumble/discord always have been there, but it was more "I reunited a team, now let's go there, it'll be more usefull to communicate". In FFXIV it's "If you don't have a static, good luck to run the content". It's funny to me that someone with 18 years of mmo experience doesn't seem to see that. I also spend 20 years playing mmo, yet achieved to always have thing to do in each of them despite rarely engaging in high end content. I also did in FFXIV until EW. This whole "you don't understand what a MMO is so out of touch", especially since the lack of casual content is not compared to other mmo, but to previous iteration of FFXIV. Honestly you just look like an angry little elitist with this post.

It seems you also can't understand what you read. The complaint is not the existence of high end activities, it's the lack of anything else. Check the last weeks of post about Forked Tower : I've seen post saying there should be an easier version, but none that said the hard version should not exists. MMO wise FFXIV content is poor : it's not a problem, because it the proposition of the game, giving a mmo that doesn't ask for every second of your time. But it used to give things to do for people that didn't want to engage into High end content.

You can do everything in FFXIV without Discord or a Static it was a example, i cleared Ultimates with PF, i cleared Savage Tiers with the PF, Criterion the higher Difficulity even a PotD 200 Run, its about that there are so many people which refuses any kind of social interaction, you cant believe how many times i asked someone in a PF group something if he understood the mech, if someone has a question or anything, what do you think how often someone answered ? 1% thats it and that is my point its a MMORPG if you not even be able to answer in the chat ingame or anything because you really want zero social interaction a MMORPG it not for you

and i read it, but i need to say that game dont need anything other then high end activities, give me a few example a few MMORPGS which has Endgame based on everything which wasnt high end or has content which is only for "the super casuals"
