Everyone stop arguing about whether raids are too hard and instead figure out a way to do that thing from the Matrix where they download kung fu into Neo's brain except it's my brain and instead of kung fu it's how to play Black Mage

Its not even that the mechanics are hard, I just don't want to have to teach half the raid how to do Dun Scaithe again for the fortieth time just to level an alt job. Its not worth my time. Either they increase the rewards from more difficult alliance raids to make it worth the effort of teaching (I don't do mentor roulette for a reason), or I'm gonna force CT over and over again.

Or, again, if the contents of the roulette are annoying enough that a portion of the content in it would suck to do, don't do it!

Orcs and Ostriches posted:As much as I disagree with almost everything Cythereal says, hard content is a very subjective term. Any number of things can be at play here, ranging from motor control, reflexes, attention, concentration, memory, multitasking, timing, anxiety, or even lazyness or apathy. I know plenty of people who struggle with story-level content at min ilevel, and I know they're trying. I'm not going to begrudge anyone for that. For me, it is the sense of entitlement. "I want the rewards, but I find this content hard/I don't like it, so I'm going to abuse the system to still get the rewards. I don't care if this makes the experience worse for other people." The 24man raids aren't hard. Or even if someone does find them hard, they don't require you to actually be good at them. You can die at all the bosses 20 times each and your raid will still make it through. This game is a multiplayer game. A lot of the systems require you to engage with other people. I have a hardline stance - If you're manipulating the queues, you're an rear end in a top hat. Either queue regularly or don't queue at all.

Eimi posted:BLM was my old main in ARR, Enochian straight up made the class worse to me. It was a really chill caster where you just reacted to procs and now you have to fight the fiddle loving timer and juggle spells and when you gently caress up it feels awful. It's insanely stressful to me and lost all of the things I liked from it. This sounds like a nitpick and it is but I demand precision in arguments damnit!!!! (Also the responses you get would probably more directly address what you dislike if you said it this way)

I hate PVP in MMOs. I find small-group PVP incredibly frustrating. Large-group PVP turns me into a rage beast. Could I queue for PVP roulette and just do absolutely nothing and still get the rewards? Sure. But I hate PVP, so you know what I do? I never queue at all. Just because there are a ton of different roulettes available doesn't mean you have to do them or or that you deserve to the rewards of them all. Do the content you enjoy. Don't do the content you hate.

Xalidur posted:I once queued for Alliance and got into a Nier raid (Bunker) and then left immediately. I would have done anything else. I'm sorry, they just have so much HP and I wanted something quick. I'd like them perfectly fine if bosses died about two minutes faster than they do. This, at least, seems perfectly reasonable to me. If the gamble you're willing to make is "something easy or take the 30 minute penalty" then it's really not hurting anyone but yourself, so go for it.

I queue for every roulette except Main Scenario. Even without lowering my ilevel I get Crystal Tower more than anything else. Sure maybe someone else could find that boring but I'm The Patient Gamer so I'll put up with just about anything.

To be honest, I used to feel the same way about PvP but Frontlines is so low stakes that I've come to just not be bothered by it. And once in a while I even get to get like I'm a badass, even if my team still didn't win! Plus it's a big pile of xp no matter what the outcome is, and I long ago gave up any dreams of obtaining the "win X times" gear/mounts that can turn it into a frustrating grind.

Labyrinth - Boring Syrcus - Boring but nice music WoD - Pretty cool Void Ark - Boring and ugly Weeping City - Ozma owns, rest is alright Dun Scaith - Dope Rabanastre - Dope Ridorana - Dope Orbonne - Super dope Copied Factory - Boring, Engels fight dragged on even with max ilvl Puppy Bunkbed - Dope Tower - Dope These are my objectively correct opinions

Ilvl manipulation sucks because in a week I have gotten 12 Labyrinth of the Ancients Alliance Raids on Riulette and literally nothing else. I want to do other raids, Labyrinth of the Ancients is easily the most boring content you can roulette into besides like, super low levelling dungeons and there’s an option to avoid super low levelling dungeons.

I in-progressed into a Dun Scaith that had apparently hit enrage on Deathgaze yesterday, and then everything just melted without any wipes. I guess through combination of people that didn't want to do any effort having left, and the remainder having "oh yeah the knockback and ice blocks" awoken in their brains during the first attempt.
