In fact, I had 2 level 80's and a level 73 but got bored of the game a couple months ago and stopped playing.
You could even have it all be real time? Wow.
That would suck so much before you get gambits. With gambits now I honestly would be okay but then again I haven't played that game since...fuck. Probably over the summer maybe? Not sure.
I'll beat it some day. I spent a long time doing random side quests is the thing. Only...sidequesting isn't much fun in FF games the way it is in, say, the elder scrolls games.

actually PVE is all RNG really, while PVP would make a good arguement for requiring skill

Yeah, I didn't even know that it wasn't the default. The game became so much easier after I figured it out, but by then I was already really far south on the map and had been using auto attack and heal gambits on all my characters for a while.

@ WoW conversation: WoW is the most rediculously dumbed down MMO that I ever tried. Sure PVP can be difficult, but the game play itself is made catered to the lowest common denominator.
I played EQ1 religiously from 2001-2004, did the heavy raiding thing for half of that time. Starting in early 2004 it started becoming slightly more "forgiving", but no-where near the cakewalk WoW is. The raiding in EQ1 was far superior to anything I saw in WoW.

Right. Even if you're telling the truth, all that proves is you can level a character, it doesn't prove you can do anything else that actually matters.
No, no it isn't. It takes skill and good preparation to coordinate a big group of players to be able to kill bosses, and on an individual level it takes skill to know what the best abilities are and when the best time is to use them, and also of course to know how to gear your character. On top of complex ability rotations, you also have to be aware of what's going on around you so you don't die and so you don't cause other people to die.
Admittedly these new level 80 entry raids are easy (for good players), but back in the previous expansion, and further back to the original content, raid content was extremely challenging. The hardest raid before both expansions came out was only seen, and further only actually fully completed, but less than 5% of the total population of players. That's how challenging it was. Saying PvE takes minimal skill is a completely false statement.

It's hard to balance difficulty in games, especially ones with lots of skills and strategies, even more so in mmos. That being said, I grew up on Wizardry, Final Fantasy, Dragon Warrior, and Dungeons and Dragons.. so I much prefer games that are difficult. That goes for other types of games as well.. I guess you could say I prefer to be really good at a game and still have to use all of that knowledge to beat it.

At least my fantasy game is more interactive and has PRETTY FLASHY COLORS, unlike your DnD. Having to use your imagination? HAH! Only retards and poor people engage in such tomfoolery.
