The Direction of FFXIV

[Peregrine]

If you had used enough browsers in your time, you would know you can search for levels too. You must secretly be an icon-supporter if you didn't know that.

Consider yourself kicked from the Elite team of FFXIV. Good day, sir.

Again, I simply laugh at your need for information I already had. Blue-green-yellow-orange-red essentially already gave me the mob's level, and it's given me their level since beta.

You're just the kind of player that needs that number because you can't figure it out. Juuust like you can't figure out how to navigate zones you're not familiar with without agro assist on.

It's a skills issue and you're just not putting enough thought into the game. That renders players like me overqualified. If they tune the game to your level of effort and thought, it becomes a snorefest for players like me.

If they tune the game to my level of effort and thought, it becomes frustrating and harrrrrd for players like you.

Get better. I can't get worse.

Ironically, this is why MMOs are becoming more casual, hell gaming in general, because the whole "hardcore" days are over.

This isn't about hardcore. You all have gotten so careless that not knowing how Ringtail Pterocs will treat you by the time you see them is suddenly hardcore? I'm not hardcore. You're just not even paying ATTENTION any more.

You learned everything you needed to know about Pterocs by level 10, and you should have learned by experience.
-Nonagro mobs
-watch the backflips
-drop wind shards

I don't have to look that **** up. I knew that back in beta. If/when a pteroc agroes me, I'll get hit. But I'll sure as hell remember what kind of pteroc that was. I still remember the kinds of doblyns that agroed in beta, and they don't even exist any more.

This is not hardcore. This is standard. If that's hardcore to you, your standards are just getting lax.

go get poked by a dutch boy already. Stop being a selfish person. The game was adertized as casual friendly. They are just doing that they promised. Aggro icons are not making the game any easier. It just make ppl avoid aggro faster.

Agro icon supporters are probably just the kinds of players who don't enjoy learning. They hide behind the argument that knowing things is HARDCORE and against the will of the changing times. Just tell them the answer.

Gonna be a hard life.

I think they are all bums in that case(which I think they are) most everything you said I agree on. I hate how lax people have gotten. I hate how games have to hold your hand and be like "Ok dear, no cars are coming, lets cross now(holding your hand)" when your 30 years of age. People have no common sense anymore. I thought people were smarter then this, but I was wrong... very very wrong.

[Nephera]

sweeping generalizations yeehaw.

[Rokien]

Solracht, I get your point.... And I to will play without aggro icons, but most everyone will play with them on.. And when your in a party and you aggro stuff people are going to be like YOU NOOB, stuff like that. When your out adventuring your not going to go to the wiki every time you see a mob. You are just going to try and kill it or run around it. The only time iv used a wiki was for locations of nms and quests and or maps if I didn't have them. Thats why they already have a color system as well for tough, weak and what not. What has changed is the experience you will have with the game and the people. There is no longer a surprise for you, its also going to be pointless to be playing with the icon off.

For the vast majority of mob types, FFXIV stays true to their original encounter forms.
Flytraps agro. Every flytrap you've seen since you were level 6 has agroed. They will always agro. If you don't know, ask. We know. I don't know how you managed to not know, but we know.

Don't cry if they agro. Its YOUR fault if one agroes you. No one else's.
