The Direction of FFXIV

[solracht]

Again, I can't dumb myself down for a product perfectly tuned to you, as I'm simply overqualified. You can, however, pay more attention to your surroundings.

I'm still waiting for you to tell me how typing /toggle and ignoring the fact that people can see enemy levels is any different than not using wikis and ignoring the fact that everyone else is using them.

If you guys were complaining about enemies being able to be killed while rolling your face across the keyboard, I would not only understand, but agree. If you were complaining about how every enemy is on a short leash and so you can easily outrun any kind of danger you come across, I would agree.

You're however complaining about information being shown in the game. Information that players have accessed and used in every. single. MMORPG regardless of how much information was actually shown by the game itself.

We're in an age where information is easily accessible, regardless of whether the game offers it or not. If it's not in the game, people will look for it outside. We're not talking about challenge here, we're talking about displaying goddamned information. Information that's always going to be accessible to matter what.

Not only that, you're basically saying that players who use browsers are better than players who look at enemy icons.

Peregrine seems like parents from the 40s and 50s, while times have changed they refuse to just accept it because they feel it's their way or the highway.

Well that makes no sense at all. I'm not playing for you, now I'm not even convinced you know what you're even saying. If they end up giving the game to the bads, sure I'll quit just like I no longer compete with 5th graders in basketball because that would make me look bad.

I assumed your post was for me, but it wasn't. Learn how to quote people!!!

That guy's sig is actually pretty funny, considering good players know pterocs don't agro by the time they ever see ringtails. It's not about making fun of the game giving you all information. It's that it gives you information that any self-respecting MMO player should already know how to proficiently manage.

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.

I wonder, Peregrine, since you seem to be the pinnacle of an MMO gamer...do you hate the in-game FAQ systems MMOs generally have?

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.

Mob aggression has nothing to do with map navigation, especially because they have no bearing on the route you need to take because they're scattered, not in one set area.

It looks like you're the one that needs to learn how to read. I wasn't talking about post #49. I know he quoted me. I was talking about post I replied to, which was #45, he didn't quote the person he was replying to. He was replying to post#42, when I thought he was replying to post #43. If he quoted then there wouldn't be any confusion.

You should just do trial and error (that's what I do.) If I cant do something at one level, Ill wait a few levels and try it again. I can kinda gauge on how something is, WITHOUT anyone telling me anything. I am agreeing with you Peregrine. I swear gamers today are stupid as all get out.
