My friend the "content locust" :(

[Poyozo]

This so much. People complain about how fast they run out of content in this game, while in other games its the same story, and you have to wait even longer for new content. we have new stuff coming in the next month or so, and had new content added less than 2 months ago, the only reason people dont recodnise that is due to technical problems we got content 3 before content 2. I have a strong feeling from now on there will be much progression in harder content.

If this game were run by blizzard, we wouldnt even be able to acces turn 5 yet, and t4 would have just been unlocked.

What "new" stuff? Where is this "new" stuff. All I see are more coil turns and more difficulties to already existing content.

That’s really too bad. I meant you no ill will. Have I been frustrated with the direction of the conversation? Sure. But I’ve stated time and time again that the intent was to come up with some ideas that were fun in game to hopefully reignite an interest in my friend who seems to have lost interest.

This is in post #4

The point of this isn't to tell anyone "there's stuff to do you're technically incorrect", but rather to point out there are options still available you once enjoyed that gave you a reason to play in the first place.

Granted it doesn’t say, “This is not a thread to discuss what content is considered play worthy and “deep” and what is not”, but I really didn’t think it was necessary. Clearly I was wrong. In hindsight, I would’ve changed my wording of couple things, such as “content locust”. I previously stated that “complesionist” would’ve been more appropriate, but also admitted I hadn’t heard the term before the creation of this thread. I apologized previously for that and will do it again, I’m sorry to anyone that offended.

I wish you well. Aside from your demonstrative inability to comprehend this particular subject matter, you seem pretty bright. I hope you stick around and continue to contribute to this forum in a positive fashion. I’m sure this thread isn’t reflective of your ability to contribute.

In addition, I’m sure you would be equally frustrated if you created a thread about “where to obtain chocobo bardings” and crapton of people said in your thread “barding are useless!!!”

Think about it.

I wish you well, take care.

Touche. I’m sorry. I’ve tried my best. I think I’ve done a pretty good job. I haven’t seen many people even attempt to internally regulate their own threads very much in this forum. Most threads go off topic and derail 2 maybe 3 pages in. I hope you’ll give me credit for the attempt at least.

This is one I’ve really been trying to get to. What an excellent post. And thank you so much TrystWildkey for explaining your own points of views relative to that of my own problem in game.

See that’s the thing. It IS telling. But imo, not exactly how you think. Those menial tasks of crafting half a day for someone, helping someone get their brayflox armor set, etc seemed to be the highlight of most of their playtime early on.

If my friend was completely happy with “watching the tide come in” while standing in lominsa, I would suggest going in open world to enjoy some scenery. But it went from, “we need to take care of everyone’s business, not our own” to “I just want to cap myths”…..?!?!?

I think there were some problems irl that affected his mentality. I never really wanted to bring that up because:

1) It leaves the impression that people who play a lot have no life, etc. Something I REALLY wanted to avoid due to the insulting nature, whether it’s true or not.
2) It would’ve COMPLETELY derailed my thread more than it already has…believe it or not.
3) It’s just presumptuous. Discussing problems in real life would’ve been my last resort.
4) I could’ve been completely wrong, he could’ve just been bored, and mentioning this could’ve been offensive.

However, as I mentioned earlier he’s been playing A LOT more these past few days. His spark seems to be reignited and was helping some of us farm ultima last night. Was really good to see.
……………………………………………………..

In addition, I’ve found some other things to do I haven’t considered (thanks to those of you remaining on topic):

1) Treasure maps. I’ve done a couple, but haven’t realized there is some extremely rare loot you can obtain from them. Someone mentioned blue fox hides…anything else for us “crafter minded” people?

2) Achievements. I know there’s a “fat chocobo” and a “gold magitek”…are these obtainable through achievements or other means? I did get some sort of crown through achievements and a gc specific minion. Can someone tell me what else you can get? Or at least provide a link? Thanks in advance.

3) There seems to be some new items on the marketboard. Anyone else noticed this? Is there a place we can go to find those recipes?

4) Obtaining company credits. It seems that you can obtain credits through almost anything you do. Does anyone know what seems to yield the highest return?

And again, thank you to those not intentionally trying to derail my thread, throwing insults at each other, and trying to contribute in a positive light

May you walk in the light of the crystal.

Your point does not at all detract from the person you quoted, so I'm guessing you're in agreement? It's just phrased strangely for an agreement post.

I'm not disagreeing, per se. Just commenting on the use of forums as a bellwether.
