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

[Doowie]

Dear Square Enix,

If you could please avoid making Final Fantasy too casual friendly or handing out welfare epics to players. We want to have a challenge and we want a complete dungeon to make us work to do our best and learn how to improve if we fail.

If things become too easy, players become too lazy and then people get frustrated due to people failing at every turn.

I'm not being an elitist, but I don't want it to turn into every other MMO on the market where the people complaining about an instance being too hard for them gets more attention than those who are loving the content provided.

For example I'm just waiting for the time when Garuda & Titan (Hardmode) gets nerfed because those "lazy" gamers are not able to get their relic weapon and because of people who worked to get their weapon, have it, that those lazy people feel that they should also have it with less work involved!

*awaits the flame*

You gonna be disappointed, that the first reply actually agrees with you :P

I personally hope nerfs NEVER happen here. Not like Blizzard where they give in to noobs to maintain subscriptions.

Until tr00 H4rdK0REZ ego becomes a recognised currency they'll need those "noob" subscriptions to keep the servers open and development going

Exactly why FF14 is casual centric but they shouldn't expect easy access to top tier gear... Its like asking for a job that is easy and only requires 5 hours of work a week but pays a salary in the range of top CEOs

It's worth mentioning that FFXIV is not work, but an entertainment product that people not only pay for at the counter, but also pay additional monthly fees merely for the privilege of accessing the game. It shouldn't be a second job.

No, there shouldn't be some "click me to win all the shinies all the time" button, but expecting them to block portions of the game off from the majority of the player base (either because they lack skill, time, or simply don't wish to invest their heart and soul into one game) forever isn't a good idea.

Then MMOs are not the genre for you.

Try single player RPGs where you're certain to at least get a couple of the best items that are part of the in-game quest line...

If you lack the skill and the dedication to get the best items, you don't get it, its as simple as that

I don't think it should change either way. There seem to be plenty of people having trouble doing HM Titan, and very few who are doing the Bahamut raid. As it should be, not everything is possible for the average player, some stuff is just slightly out of reach. I'm quite happy with the difficultly level. It's a nice change from GW2 where there was no challenging stuff outside of pvp.

BTW, I really can't wait for the pvp. That i where the real challenge usually is, at least for me.

Yeah, good luck doing pvp with 500ms built-in delays.
