Dear Square Enix! Make the game harder, not easier!

[Darklordkjell]

This game should be harder. I was actually suprised that I hit 25 in less than a week, considering I used 3 months of grinding in WoW to reach level 18. Hahaha. I didn't know better. First time I played MMO and I didn't do my research before playing. I didn't even know quests excisted before after I joined a guild. Best guild ever. Kind and experienced players.

Anyway, this game should be harder. It is way to easy. That is coming from me, and I don't pay much attention to anything else than what I should do in dungeons as a damage dealer.

Give us an extreme mode the game is too easy right now as it is

[Sterob]

*complain that content are too easy and those who didnt have relic are all lazy bum, bad and undergeared.
*didnt even finish titan


The amount of hypocrite in this thread is high.

[dstyle]

agreed. make the game harder.
just take out these caps on tomes and what not, and make the game harder. start the weeding process!

[SakuraOmega]

OP : I love you! And I totaly agree with you!

YOU DO NOT SIMPLY GET ITEMS FOR FREE!

You should have to work your ass of for them!
Thats how it was in the old mmos and thats how it should be. Even if you cant play enough as a 100% hardcore , you can still obtain some items over time by joining instances.
A person that plays 40+ hours aweek more then like me, Should get better gear. And I shouldnt get loot just because I pay the same amount has him. I need to earn that loot!

I realy hope SE will point the arrow back towards the old EQ/AO/UO/DAOC systems. Even tho they will lose alot of subs, you will get a less whiny playerbase that Loves the game.

Garuda dont need a nerf, that fight is possible with random people so why nerf it.

You know what makes HM Primal fights hard? Having to carry people that come into them under geared because they think once they hit 50 and have their AF gear they should be able to do every piece of content. The amount of players I have seen in HM Garuda today sporting a full set of AF gear is rediculous; It is like having your Ifrit weapon suddenly means you can do Garuda as well.

The people that want 'easy epicz' are the same people that will jump to the next 'big' MMO because 'the game is too easy and boring', or not renew after the trial month; at least give it a couple of months to see who is still around and cater to them.

Also, multiple difficulty dungeon design is horrible. It doesn't play as "do HM if you want a challenge!", it becomes "do normal mode to gear up for hard mode!". Why not just have something that is challenging from the get go? Not impossible, but challenging that people actually need to work at and become better players to beat? You don't have to play the game 12 hours a day or turn the game into 'a job' to become a 'good' player, you just need to not have poobrain. I think some people could really use content that doesn't just give them gear and actually requires them to use their grey matter. It would set the genre and the player base up for better things, instead of the content that we've gotten in the past 5 years in 'mainstream' MMOs.

Edit: From the content I've experienced thus far (everything but Bahamut's), things feel really spot on for difficulty. Some of it is hard/challenging which becomes 'easier' after you've learnt it, with half of it being gear checks (DPS, HP or otherwise).

[MomoOG]

Lets be honest here you are not looking for "challenging" content. You are just looking for exclusive gear that you would only be able to obtain due to having more time on your hand.

Exclusive from the people suffering from poobrain?

The OP didn't ask for content that takes hours to clear, he asked for challenging content that can't be facerolled. Even some of the 'toughest' dungeons in Vanilla WoW (You know, when things actually required so skill/coordination) didn't take hours to clear, they were just challenging, and once you learnt the mechanics (and got a bit of gear), you could cruise through them in 3-4 hours.

Like everything, guides will be published, and even 'hard' content will be doable by people that put in a little bit of time to gear up before hand, and make an effort to learn something instead of calling BS mechanics or lag. Elitist or not, if you want to do 'end game' content/raids, and can't be bothered investing the time to get a full DL set before trying to burden yourself on 7 other players, then you need to re-evaluate your position.

A full darklight takes a bit of time to get; are you suggests HM Garuda / Titan should be doable with AF gear? Don't worry, a lot of people seem to think this as they pop up all the friggen time.

[Kraggy]

you could cruise through them in 3-4 hours.

LMAO, because people with real-lives can devote 3-4 hours uninterrupted to play a video game.

Fact is, as Blizzard admitted years ago and is more true today than ever, raiders are in the words of one of Trion's CM team "a SMALL MINORITY" and that holds for any MMO you care to name. As such the developers don't need to pander to these elitists because they don't bring in significant revenue and are not as important as they like to think they are.

If the vast majority of players don't get to see content, then things are broken.
