We back to pretending doing the bare minimum every non .0 patch is something great again?
It's made lots of difference over the years. You may not be able to see it, joining as late as you seem to have. The game in 2013-2016 was very different in terms of qol.
People also only tend to remember negative changes not positive ones.
Most people don't remember that food buffs wore off when you died. You used to have to wait for CDs to come back up after wiping. Prog was delayed so much if the PLD used hallowed ground just before a party wipe and they needed that skill in their rotation early on.
Beast tribe currencies used to be in your inventory. Gear used to drop directly from savage bosses, not coffers, and there were no tokens. You just had to keep praying the pieces you needed would eventually drop.
How does one cancel you? What does one have to do to cancel you? Maybe you were told to shut up and stop complaining before. Maybe you were told to unsub. Yet here you are, still free to dump SE in whatever way you see fit. Still free to label people as religious zealot cult.
Please tell me. I really want to claim such a power.
Buff timer?
Damage type on flying text?
Datacenter Travel?
Weapon drops turned into weapon Coffer?
Server travel on character selection screen?
Male Viera and upcoming Female Hrothgar?
more precise quest marker on maps and minimap?
Increased Triple Triad drop chance when duel with NPCs?
Fisher's Intuition stays even when disconnected?
Return of FFXV, Garo collab?
I'm not really sure what people were expecting... look at patch 5.4. It was:
- new MSQ
- new side story
- new raid tier
- new crafted DoW/M gear
- new tomestones
- new/modified treasure map dungeon
- new triple triad cards
Anyone that has been playing this game since pre-EW and definitely pre-ShB should be aware that patch cycles are very much formulaic. And if someone was expecting something else, then they probably aren't aware that this game has been like this since 2013.
