omfg this.
ATTN: FFXIV COMMUNITY
Some of you like to pretend this game, outside of several coil turns, is hard.
PSA: it's not.
With all due respect, Melkire, I was referring to newbies that entire post. And for them, it can be very hard.
You should know, because the fact remains:
WE WERE ALL NOOBS ONCE.
With all due respect, Edgar, I'm not saying that we shouldn't be friendly with newbies, or that we shouldn't be patient, or that we shouldn't help them, or that we shouldn't be understanding.
I'm asking for a modicum of common sense before people open their traps to say stupid things.
Maybe I should have written, "relative to many video games requiring certain levels of hand-eye coordination, communication, cooperation, and so forth, this game is simple enough to grasp, the learning curve mild enough to follow, and the tasks easy enough to execute that no one with a mild to moderate level of experience and history with gaming should find any cause to call the vast majority of this game's group content 'difficult', given a certain degree of attention and competency."
There. Is that politically correct and specific enough to be clear?
Queuing up for Stone Vigil Story Mode, dying to the first boss after being given a thorough explanation, and then claiming "lol this game is hard" as a defense when you've had forty levels to learn what's expected of you and acclimate yourself is about as ridiculous as claiming that J.K. Rowling's books are a "difficult read".
