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

This is a game model that makes the producer less money than accessible content; ergo, it won't be how it works for long. Get used to the idea now, it will hurt less when it changes.

Are you suggesting that the devs should be handing out relics and AF+1 gear? if you truly think so, get used to the fact that it won't happen, it will hurt less when it doesn't happen.

Yoshida already said once, that current hardcore events get easier after enough new hardcore events are out. Give hardcore players always something new and let the casual players enjoy the old.

*Cough*....

*Cough*....

*cough*

after enough content had been launched which naturally brings new top tier gear relegating current top tier gear worthless and rendering your statement moot

*cough*

some comprehension might help.

So, when titan and BC get nerfed and the devs are "handing out relics and af+1", they won't infact be handing out relics and af+1?

Interesting.


Regardless of all of the above; if casual players stop playing because they don't have enough to do, content will get nerfed. Period.

This is a subscription model; people can't just pay for what they want to do and go. If people don't feel they have anything to do, they just go altogether, and the company loses money. What you or what I think is "best for the game" is utterly irrelevant; what's best for the game is secondary to what is most profitable for the game.

We're obviously talking about the current landscape not an unknown landscape in the future that god knows when it will happen...

I used Relic and AF+1 as it illustrates current top tier gear, as future content gets releases and more top tier equipments are made available, Relic and AF+1 would be akin to AF gear in usefulness.

What happens when top end gear is made easily accessible to casuals? it'll simple destroy the value of said top end gear; and what happens after top tier dungeons are made to be defeated easily by casuals? they'll still leave as they've completed every available content...

The only reason you want Relics and AF+1 now is simply because it is difficult to attain and therefore you recognize the value of it.

No one is isolating casuals, its just that casuals needs to understand that they can't have everything without putting in effort for it. Casuals have access to majority, except the top tier content... this is pretty casual centric IMO.
