"Fix" Speed Runs? How about fixing the real issue?

[MisterChubu]

The game is fine. Stop being lazy and learn how to make gil. You're not supposed to profit from a dungeon, and the benefit of running one is that you're getting new gear. Is that so hard to wrap your brains around? Or do you feel the need to be handed everything and even some extra gil to make the economy worthless?

Heh, the thing that most people aren't realizing is that a lot of these people complaining, are either A. New to gaming completely, or B. former WoW players that are used to easy mode. I sincerely hope SE doesn't "tweak" the game into a carebear, faceroll, WoW, piece of crap.

This is such a naive statement. I love FFXIV, I agree it could use some more content, but let's not kid ourselves...

Dungeons in FFXIV are about the same level of faceroll as ezmode dungeons in WoW. I would put the new speedrun (less than 18 minutes) of AK post-patch as challenging as a gold challenge mode in WoW. Except WoW has like 8 challenge modes for 5man, whereas AK is just one... speedrunning CM and WP are complete 1-tank 1-heal faceroll.

There is FAR less trash in ffxiv than in most of the older raids in WoW, as far as time is concerned. At least that trash had some interesting things that may or may not drop.

Quite frankly the only remotely challenging content for an organized group is turn 5, and that is simply a massive gear and overtuned issue at the moment. I would argue your average heroic boss on WoW, especially in older expansions, is considerably more challenging than anything in FFXIV outside of turn 5, maybe turn 4 and pug HM titan.

FFXIV is an okay difficulty, but could use a lot more challenging content.

Stormstout Brewery Gold is more challenging than any of the content in this game will ever be, I am not sure who you are calling carebear and faceroll when this game is about getting one shot or outgearing content. that is pretty faceroll. and giving everyone the same gearing path for the best gear in the game regardless of their character progression is pretty carebear.

how do interrupt telegraphed casts and not stand in red circle

game too hard, nerf pls

this is smartest comment in thread

i dont get why you're making it look like being a carebear has anything to do with avoiding PVE. its not like its hard to tackle scripted content and fights.

on that note: any of the endgame epic bosses in lineage 2 make WoW raids look tiny and easy, but i digress.

Exactly the reason i hate WoW, the players, they think WoW is SO MUCH BETTER than other games and that they must automatically be better but a quick Lodestone search reveals he's never been in BC which is SO HARD!!! and is one of the people that consider AK or Titan to be "End Game" and also has gimp class levels b/c they don't understand how support actions work. Npnp!
