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

[Jasdemi]

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.

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

Oh yeah that will be fun. The forums will be going mental xD

[joshdavis271]

well they should at least throw a bone or two to those who are seeking a challenge

Nope, just make easy contents and hard contents for everyone.

HM/NM of the same content is a free pass for lack of content from a dev. Look at WOW - it went from having variety of content to having the same content redone in four different forms (at least, I think it is four now..)...

That being said - nerfs have their place after a tier of content as a catchup mechanism to help new players get caught up in gear while not just handing them the gear.

Who's "we"? Do you speak for 100% of FF 14?

I don't disagree with you but if you make it too hard and if you have to grind too much then people will get bored. It should be hard but not as hard as you're implying.

People say it's too easy, people say it's too hard, then they make threads about it.

The sad truth is the same people who cry to make the game harder, when given what they want, they come back two months later and complain it's now too hard.

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

[KimimiAvesta]

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.
