Ok chill out Fusional. We don't need a negative energy in the forums, that's for http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/.

while you're apparently a few pages late, if you'd actually take a look around you'd see there's quite enough negative energy to go around here whether i post or not. and if you'll look even harder you'll notice most of my negative energy is directed toward the most negative people

That system works for WoW and you obviously know why.

because the economy works in general? the same concepts work in any/every economy where many many people are actively participating. and what's the point of bringing this up anyway, considering how clearly broken the economies were in XI and XIV?

I'm old school FFXI. Where you wait 24 hours just to have a chance to claim a Notorious Monster, and an even smaller chance to get a drop. I was in love with WoW for about 6 years but once I played FFXIV I remembered what it was like to play a game that actually required skill to obtain end game items.

outside of ifrit extreme (which was largely about countering server lag) and darnus hard, i don't see what context you could be using to qualify this statement, especially as a counter to WoW endgame- where the easiest heroic raids are categorically more difficult than most anything we've ever had in FFXIV. and yes, even in the awful panda era.

oh, and i'm an XI vet as well. so.

WoW was wonderful but Blizzard starting giving equipment away, then asking you to grind reputation to buy equipment, then not allowing you to join random dungeons if your equipment score wasn't high enough.

all of which have nothing to do with the difficulty of endgame

I started playing FFXIV in late 2012 and because of my play style I was able to catch up to quite a few people that had been playing for about 2 years at that time.

weren't you just saying the game was hard?

fat nerd

oh, okay. while i'm not about to randomly post my face on the internet, here i am just chillin' out in the grand tetons, bein fat as hell. hilariously dumb assumption, though. and based on what, exactly? intelligent people on the internet are fat nerds? well alright. but now take a moment to consider what blind assumptions people might make about you in turn.
