I think the big issue is a lot of the stuff prior to 3.0 was made obsolete with Heavensward. Sure, you can run some of that stuff, but 1) the gear you get won't be very good relative to 3.0 gear, and 2) no one else is really running it. I'd love to pony farm more, but ponies can't fly :smith:

Same but with farming random gear from old content

seems like it's almost impossible to drum up any sort of interest for it

So, my friend just messaged me complaining about how she had to carry the DPS in A1 normal and got upset, which is what inspired this (these) idea(s).

SE would implement a dummy in-game in an instance private zone only available to the player. It would parse the player if they're DPS and if they meet the threshold required, they would get a discount on their subscription, like a dollar or something. Anyone who fails to meet it doesn't incur a consequence. Their subscription will remain normal.

Now, the other idea I have is the same thing, except if they fail to meet the threshold required, they would get an additional 33% extra charge to their subscription fee. It'll be a learning tax. If they fail to meet it again during their second cycle, they'll get tacked again with an additional 33% tax off the base subrate. So basically, if they fail the first time, $20 monthly. If they fail again, $25 monthly and so on. This is assuming they pay $15 for their sub. fee.

I'll think of something for tanks and healers later. What do you think?

of all the poo poo that i've seen you post from the OF this is probably by far the worst idea

it's nice that now, in FFXI's retirement, all of us tanaka victims can simultaneously agree that the game was terrible and yet wallow in the nostalgia of the sound/etc design. immediately after having flashbacks of leveling down I started a video of Vana'diel March and it made me feel better

The world/art design and music are some of FFXI's strong points, even if the world design ended up being horrid copypaste schlock

wonder what it would have been like with actual good direction to go along with the ideas man

Yeah, there were a couple areas with invisible holes that you had to fall through for progress

I can't remember if the Yagudo NPCs hinted at it for you during some quest or something at some point but it was there

I haven't actually played much of XI so there might be more areas

Also yes mobs in dungeons are True Something, probably True Hearing, I know I can't stealth past a lot of them as NIN
