dev1031 You are losing your main playerbase by making things too easy/fast/casual

40 minutes for a single enemy encounter?? That seems a little harsh to me. 20 minutes seems like it should be the longest single enemy encounter, in my humble opinion. That would allow for slightly more "complex" missions that requires a series of enemies defeated, but only takes about an hour.

1. Defeat the Sahagin Navigator roaming NM to retrieve a map to the Sahagin Seagate (the location changes every respawn) and HQ/Rare sahagin crafting materials ... 20 minute battle, tops.
2. Defeat the Sahagin Gatewarden non-roaming NM at the Seagate to retrieve the Seakey for that particular Seagate and HQ/Rare sahagin crafting materials ... 20 minutes, tops.
3. Defeat the Sahagin Sealord NM on the other side of the Seagate (instanced battle) to retrieve the Sealord's Trident (Lancer's weapon) and HQ/Rare sahagin crafting materials ... 20 minutes, tops.

That way, any "casual" player can participate in any or all of battles, and not walk away empty handed for their efforts, and the self-identified "hardcore" players can get a more immersive series of combats and the rewards of dedicating a larger amount of time.

Multiply the above by the number of beastman tribes (Sahagin, Amalj'aa, Ixal, Goblin, Kobold, Qiqirn, etc), and then by the number of Armory Classes ... and that would begin filling the void for both "casual" and "hardcore" content.

I wanted to offer somewhat of a more constructive post in this thread. I wouldn't mind seeing others do the same. Not just voicing complaints (however valid they may be), but offering "specific" suggestions that address those complaints.

Just saying.

Listen that happen in every game players would think there the center attention. I think SE should not listen to us so much -.- if they do this just going to become a lame low casual game with noting really hard. like what happen to wow when bizzard listen to there player base.

Listen to us without really listening to us. make the game hard and still casual i don't think that very hard.

Wow is a better and harder game than FFXIV currently, so what are you talking about ? FFXIV does not even has end game content, hell it does not has content even if we compared it to vanilla wow, a 8 year old game, + Wow caters to everybody, FFXIV has no direction whatsoever

FFXIV now is not a "casual-game"...

Bubble bubble was 10 times harder..... spider on windows is a tough riddle in comparison

We are playing prolly the easiest game on market for now...
