Thank you for inadvertently agreeing with me. By making the dynamis timetable acceleratable to such a degree, nasomi forced the baseline expectations in endgame culture to max out. You're simply not competitive if you don't have two characters with complete access to the game's content and a reliable hustle (one that outstrips fishing and farming without TH4). The effects? People dropping out of statics because they don't have alts ready to go. People condescending to party members or even LS mates that they are merely NQ. People snobbishly demanding PL exp. We know this story, and it reminds me of the toxic economy of likes on Facebook. Ultimately, it boils down to an increased amount of effort that I have to expend replacing friends that have left me behind. I don't take it personally, but the practice does color how I approach this discussion. The worst of it is how it may be affecting Nasomi's policy decisions. If he sets the bar so low that the lifetime of interest for a person only lasts for a few years, he's going to be less concerned about people leaving a hackneyed game if he sees enough new players continuously filling the vacuum, only to be the next batch to literally blow the game's content.

You can drive around the majority of this grotesque aspect of this server, but you can't avoid all of the effects. When anyone tells me otherwise on this issue, I question their motives.

EDIT: And for the record, I'm not interested in removing anyone's relics. Drop rates and difficulty levels are the inherent problem.

Not going to read through the thread, so if this was already mentioned then ignore.

Make your own parties. Make sure you build a strong party that can carry your lack of damage. People will be happy if the other 5 members are more than carrying weight.

Almost every 75 job can deal decent melee damage in a meripo. But that requires BiS gear (... and merits) invest in the best gear you can and one day you may find your pld outdamaging the lower tier/geared DDs.

I think he considered the data and made the call to leave dynamis burns as is to balance the legit economy and the rmt economy. Gives the people needing the gil and drops a way of going after it, instead of letting the rmt networks just nickel and dime the servers economy to death by botting npc gil 24/7. We had the rmt economy back on retail 2004-2005 and retail devs took a different approach to get it semi under control. I'm fairly certain nasomi took all of that into consideration when he made the decision to leave dynamis as is, however how bout that hourglass he said we was getting? I may actually do some runs if that becomes a thing.

You're missing the point of my replies. I'm encouraging everyone to play at their own pace. If you (generic you) feel that you (generic you) need to play the game in "EZ mode" because it's available/everyone else is doing it and you (generic you) feel the need to compete then by all means. It doesn't effect me. If you (generic you) want to refrain from doing that and, as I said, "be an island" then be happy being an island. I play at my own pace, and I'm not complaining and I didn't quote anyone specific with my previous responses because they were for everyone. God bless everybody.

Awww you really read my stuff? You're so sweet <3

your point is that you can paraphrase yourself and ignore refutation?

No.

That's what you did though.

Still fail to see how doing dyna makes me a heroin addict.
