I'm with Nahaara. I picture these guys in the real world as the type that nobody really likes all that much, but falsely feel as if they demand respect successfully. But thats just me judging.

I can't believe anyone would have the audacity to say that someone else does not have a place here in this GAME that everyone has to (will be) pay(ing) the same amount to play. It's a sad day for their community.

All I want is balance. I loved playing ffxi and I'm determined to stick with xiv, but I'm older now. I have other focuses, such as my wife, my job, raising a family, contributing to society, etc. I don't have the time that I had in that game. I know that means I can't experience as much as the bunch that does. I can understand that and accept the consequences. But don't make those consequences take the joy out of the game for anyone.

If I don't have the time to camp the hardcore 24 hour 5-7 day spawn NMs for the elite gear, give me an only slightly weaker version that I can conceivably strive to attain. That way, the pathetic bunch that plays for the sole purpose of being better than those around them can feel good, but at least (gear-wise) they really are only slightly better, and I won't have to miss out on anything else I want to do in the game for not being geared properly.

But, more on topic, don't make the new NMs of the H style yet. That would be a mistake. We don't need endgame yet, even though quite a few uneducated loud-mouthed brats seem to think we do. Rank 50 is not the end of the game (See what I did there?). We've all seen and experienced the consequences of releasing things into this game (or the game itself) before they are ready to be released.
