Seriously, VW loot system..come on.

You need a job, you're looking for work. You look, you look, and you look some more...and the only job you manage to get is voluntary work with with a 1/300 chance at getting upgraded to wage work. But hey, you got a job, success?

From an empoyers pov of course, you will work for minimum wage and feel lucky that you got that job. The employer doesn't care if you're happy.

An event where they can make you do it even though it's horrible is a success to them. It's crap to us but we still do it anyway, WoE is a failure because it's horrible and nobody does it, VW is a success because it's horrible but a large number of us still do it.

What I've got from your posts is that the base is being beaten in the crotch with a pipe yet they continue to do the event anyway because there are some drops worth chasing.

Question is... for how long? Obsession only goes so far and unlike kings you're never progressing in Voidwatch unless you get the drops. This is starting to look like VNMs/Yilbegan '09 XI where people started to burn off once it looked like the game was on the skids. How long will people stick around this time? Level 99 is here and it's a pile of crap coupled with backlogged updates due to a skeleton dev team - underwhelming to say the least.

Unless the Last Stand is released in March and Nyzul II manages to blow the load of the base, XI is in a bad spot and this time Abyssea isn't around to pique interest and bring life back to the streets of Port AFK.

Not as bad as Gamestop.

Except in my previous analogy, the employer would be replaced with "Square Enix" and you represents the playerbase.

glad you're understanding it.

people keep mentioning this skeleton crew dev team is working with, why? dont this game still have like 200k subcriptions at least atm? by far still one of there biggest money makers why the hell is SE treating long time paying customers like this.

Because they're still busy trying to save FFXIV
