The reason FFXIV is lacking content is because of casualization.

It was so hyped (not for me) and it was so less Content. On top of everything we're getting the same stuff Expansion after Expansion again. There are rarely new things to do and almost nothing which you can do as a group. MMORPG's aren't supposed to be Solo Playable. That was always the difference in those Games and it was Key to play with others. It was the whole idea behind those Games. People who don't want to play with other should just leave this Game or do what they always do, afk in Limsa.
I'm done with the lazyness of SE and the catering of those crybabys. SE should honor the Players which made this Game what it is today. We were always supporting the Game since ARR. Without us the Game would be dead. Give us more to do. I want more Content starting from 7.0! More Dungeons, more new Stuff and on top of that the old Stuff.

Just this expansion alone:

- Variant Dungeons
- Criterion Dungeons
- Criterion Savage
- Eureka Orthos

In addition to the optional dungeons, 8 man raid quest series we always get, the 24 man raid quest series we always get, and they did TWO Ultimates

The MSQ is the only thing they're making an attempt to allow people to experience completely solo if they want, though even then it still has required group trials for now because they said they weren't going to focus on revamping those yet.

You sound like you're sore that anyone can do anything solo at all. That mindset was allowed back in the EQ era of MMOs because we didn't know they could be different. The MMO landscape has changed from complete forced grouping to be much more accessible and if you can't handle that, then maybe MMOs aren't for you anymore.

This, the community has wished it for years. (snippity)

So what do you want? More Savage? More Ultimates? More content only 1% of the playerbase can do?
Were you even here for the massive content lull when the coof was making the rounds? This is nothing like that.
Leave the reddit blather where it belongs, on reddit.

Crit Dungeon is the only new thing they brought out. It was fun to do, but there were no rewards for Savage. Guess why? The majority can't beat it and would start crying over it.
Eureka Orthos is just PotD or Heaven on High. We already had this twice. It's okay to bring another, but i also want something new on top. Crit Dungeons alone aren't enough. One Dungeon per Expansion is a no go. One every two patches (Alliance Raid Patch) would be great.
I'm not sore that FFXIV has Solo Content. But i'm tired of the Community for demanding Content like that. If they don't like the Game the way it is they should leave instead of ruining it with their hardcore Casual mindset.
But yeah it might be time to leave for me as well, since the Game is going downhill.

Almost like the community isn't a monolith or something.

Does make most complaints feel pretty hollow though when they can all be responded to with "well this guy really liked that thing, so guess you're just the unlucky one".

Funny, considering a lot of people are feeling like "the unlucky one" when it comes to midcore content or anything that isn't either a super casual steamroll or a minmaxers only paradise.

"A lot" is pretty unquantifiable.

I'm just saying, if we start flinging around the whole "community ain't a monolith" point, then unless you can bring hard data to the table, any bit of feedback or complaint is pretty much dead in the water, cause we've got no idea how many people dislike a thing, compared to those that like it.

"I didn't like this bit of the story", well Timmy Two-Shoes over here thought it was ace.

I agree, they should stop listening to "the community" and just make what THEY think xiv should be, warts and all.

Honestly, I think they already are.

People like to say a lot on here for every change that gets made "oh, well this is the crap you get when you listen to the community", but honestly I think that's just a bit of a scapegoat, cause it's harder to face the fact that the developers of the game you really like have a different vision of what the game should be.
