AF+1 Costs WAY Too Much

[Engineer]

what about people who already spent their tokens for higher?

Its kind of like when you buy a TV, later that same TV would be cheaper when it goes on sale.

Just think of it that way, and everything will be fine.

What about them? The higher cost is the trade off for buying it when it's relevant. The cost comes down when SE introduces new equipment that trumps the previous stuff. It's no different than lowering the price on a car when a newer model comes out to replace it.

The difference is, in FF11 there was like 20 endgame events you could do to gear up, which isn't even counting HNM's, FF11 BiS (best in slot) changed mob to mob and spell/ability to spell/ability, there was literally a different BiS piece of gear for every slot for every boss in the game for every single action any/every job had and this is not even including the fact that you could have pre-cast gear, casting gear, and landing cast gear for every mage job for every spell. If you did dynamis and didn't get your hat, you go upgrade through another event, in FF14 theres nothing, you don't get your drop in coil, you log out, that's literally your only option, log out.

Your gross over-exaggerations (about the amount of 'end-game content', the huge number of BiS pieces, etc) are amusing, not least because Dynamis and all the other content you're alluding to came YEARS after XI's release and you're complaining XIV doesn't have that ON RELEASE.

LMAO.

then what's the point in spending tokens now? you don't even need af2 to complete game content now. dl is fine even for coil.

It's not about it taking too long, nor is it about it being too difficult because, it isn't.

It's about having to farm the same, mind numbingly boring content ad nauseum.

This is not the kind of game we want, right?

Give us hard, give us nigh impossible, hard hitting, 8 phase long, 10 zillion HP bosses! Don't give us 60 minute trash and 3 minute 'boss' fights. That's just bad design.

Well, AK is around 30 minutes now.

Its fine if you want to wait, just like that tv thats too expensive, some people wait till it goes on sale.

Just wait till later.

The point is its there for those who want it now..

I am baffled that some still consider running the same content over and over again acceptable and dare I say even fun after 15 years. Its mindnumbing and boring - MMOs should change at least in this area.

They find it acceptable because its easy. Personally I'd rather do 20 titan tries and progress, rather than a hundred CM runs for tomes. Even if CM's reward is guaranteed.

But hey, that's me.
