Has the new content direction spoiled ffxi for anyone else?

[Shiyo]

I agree 100% with the OP. The #1 thing I enjoyed so much about this game is I could take everything at my own pace and do content when I felt like doing it and never felt rushed or forced to log on.

However, recently ambuscade and now omen(especially omen) changes this completely and makes me feel "rushed" and "Forced to log on and play".

The current content direction for the game will ruin this game for me entirely if they continue down this path of "everything bad every modern mmo does".

I do not want temp content that FORCES me to spam it or I lose out on that gear forever.

I do NOT want excessively long lock outs on content(20 hours per omen run).

This is bad for the game and exactly what I tried to get away from by playing this game and not the other 604600460640460 other modern mmos I could be playing.

Ambuscade is bearable, but omen is "DO NOT EVER DO THIS AGAIN AND FIX THIS IMMEDIATELY" territory.

The content design direction needs to change or they will run this game into the ground.

Protip for devs:
Trying to force people to play/login is the fastest and easiest way to make them NOT want to login and play.
