A little annoyed Follow

As the title says I am a little annoyed at the speed and sloppiness of the SE dev team with regards to Garuda. To put it in to perspective, this is a quote from the lode stone from a player (I will not use names).



Normally that would not really bug me, nor would I care enough to make a stink. But this time I can’t let it slide. Currently XI is dealing with a similar issue, with the major difference that that dev team has clearly said that anything obtained by utilizing this mechanic will be forfeit. While in XIV people are not even getting a slap on the wrist for taking advantage of a broken mechanic.

To expand I am not annoyed at the player’s here, quite the opposite I am glad to see that the players are finding things the dev never thought possible. I am annoyed at the fact that the dev’s, aren’t fixing and patching up loop holes when they are made public. Meaning that Garuda should have been patched as soon as the 3min burn video was posted on the official forums, not be left as is until 2 weeks after.

And to think, I haven't even beaten baby Garuda yet.

Meh, just a bug, I am glad SE is handling it the way they are.

So Garuda is easily beaten. I don't see what the big deal is. If these items are easily obtained, they will be valued accordingly (as in, no big deal if you have them). Let people marvel at your Ifrit / Moogle / Multi-Materia gear instead. I don't think SE is under any obligation to make things harder to get after you've obtained your free ride. That attitude always strikes me as hypocritical whenever it crops up.

The genie is out of the bottle, there's no putting it back. People found a safezone from which to murder the mob. This is what good players do. Every boss that has ever been fought in the history of video games has been challenged the easiest way the players could find. Why should players be punished for that? As long as they aren't employing cheats, this is a legitimate strategy.

I agree... but to me it's just something I'll do later on, I'm still working on Ifrit. Then again I have a lot less time to play than most.

Nothing in this thread shocks me anymore.This is the kind of quality work I expect from SE now. We keep being told things are changing but things just keep staying the same.

This is one of the reasons I hold little hope for 2.0.

Quick question now 20 months into retail if you were to add up all the "end game" in FFXIV would it even equal to half 1 Molten Core run from Vanilla WoW? How long do we think it will take to be able to piece together enough end game content to equal a whole Molten Core run 3+ years of retail?

@ FilthMcNasty: You missed the whole point of what i wrote, to the point of utter humiliation of your self. Am saying SE need's to do a better job, you read it's the player's fault? What ever floats your boat.

@tpgsoldier and Ostia: The part that bugs me most is that you are not that far off, of target. Currently I am having a hard time understanding why i am obtaining armor, weapons, and so on. Currently XIV feels like wall climbing, were you get a new stone ever so often and are promised a top some were in the future.

I've been doing it the standard way anyway. The fight isn't all that difficult once you figure out how the mechanic works.
