SoD is not fun for a solo player

Why? I think it’s thought provoking to talk about ways to improve the game and make it even better. It’s okay for you to disagree though.

When somebody messes up and wipes a group in FF14, people generally just laugh about it and start over again. It’s also on the internet.

This is primarily because their design philosophy has taken into regard the repercussions of what kind of community their decisions cultivate.

For instance, if Blizzard eliminated lockouts, and just kept BoP instance gear caps per week, then there wouldn’t be any threat of being locked in with a group of people that are incapable of finishing the content. You could just start over.

This, in turn, would eliminate over the top prerequisites and parsing culture which has led to wow’s deserved toxic reputation. All the people with emotional problems unable to deal with missing a lockout period wouldn’t have to deal with that anymore.
