The growing entitlement issues of the casuals

[Naylia]

I'd like to point out that me, a casual player, (See below for how far I've made it since CE launch) is arguing in other threads for a slower leveling curve against people who already have multiple 50s...does that seem ridiculous????

Just because we are casual players does not mean that we want the value of achievement diminished.

The game content = leveling up your class.
I think asking for lower leveling curve is beyond the point of casuals vs hardcore, that will limit the game life by, a, LOT.
You really want this ?.

I do think the curve for levelling does need some adjustment. I mean level 50-51 is going to be 110k SP, does that mean 98-99 will be 1,000,000 SP??? If it is I hope they up the SP gained from thing to take that into account at higher levels.

Anway like I said as a "Casual" player I don't want easy content I want a challenge, however I don't want that challenge to be a 24 hour respawn window. To me that is not fun at all and I would not have any chance of being able to take part in something like that. When i log on I want to be able to jump straight into something fun, not sit around waiting for hours on end for an NM to pop.

In regards to NM's they should just make them need item pop's or maybe even use Leves to pop them, I don't know but something other than a huge respawn timer.

You realice you can get by leve linking over 30k per reset ?Only doing leve linking , which is perfectly fine for casuals , if you grinded raptors , a level a day.

You realise I have 2 R50's and pretty much every other DoW/DoM class at R30, I know perfectly well what Leve linking is and I get nearer 100k SP per reset not 30k ^^

Hence why in the world would you want the game leveling curve shorter when there is barely anything else to do ?.

The solution to that would be adding things to do.

Not that i'd want the curve shorter. Just saying.

Your "experience" in a game who's systems change constantly like they way your gain sp while leveling jobs, crafting is getting updates, the entire battle system and jobs are getting re-vamped, yes your experience of "months" far far out-does my experiences of 9yrs of ff11 leading social ls's for 4yrs followed by my leading/co-leading HNM ls's for 5yrs, and my 3weeks in this game.

This is the Final Fantasy XIV forum mate. The Final Fantasy XI one is -> That way.

Mind you, having been fossilized on only one MMORPG for nine years actually gives you even less ground to discuss on when we're talking about any MMORPG that's not that one. Maybe a broadening of horizons could be in order, since you seem to be firmly convinced that FFXI's ways are the only valid ones.

No I said it needed adjustment at higher levels ie. 50+. R50 is not the cap for the game everyone know that so as long as when I am Rank 98 and need 1,000,000 SP to get to 99 I can grind on things that give me 100,000K per hour SP or I can get 400K SP per reset from my R90 Leves then it's all good. I really don't think any level should take more than 10 hours of continuous grind in a decent party to achieve.
