When i'm bored with the fun content in a game, the last thing I want to do is play the boring content in a game. I mean...like, why?

The weapon appeals to me, the second part of the quest appeals to me ...

I don't find farming fates boring so much as frustrating.

Ultimately you are right though, I shouldn't want to do content that isn't appealing which is part of the issue I have with the first part of the Zodiac quest.

I have to agree on beast tribes.

Why aren't there tons of more quests in those systems?
Even the old ones were bare bones requiring you to do the same quest dozens of times to get fame.

They should add more beast tribe quests to the EXISTING tribes before adding more tribes.

To the OP.

Yes grinding it is so @#*&ing frustrating but it can be completed. I am 1 away after 35+ hours over a week and nothing beats the satisfaction of completing ATMA hell!

I would enjoy the quick access to the weapon, but I am 100% against grindy content, so i'm ignoring it completely. Well lucky me, everything Square added in 2.2 (that ISNT atma) requires no RNG grinding or fate farming!


I was against them adding in shitty content like this to begin with, but i'm so grateful it's one that's actually viable to completely ignore. Which is why I don't really get the complaining behind it.

Take a break until 1st expansion.

Lots of people post here about things coming then... and for some reason, that seems the magical time that development will catch up.

If nothing else, this baseline will be done, and hopefully wrinkles will be ironed out. Plus, that would hopefully see new classes/jobs.

It doesn't seem like anything innovative is going to happen before the first expansion and with the content treadmill, I bet dollars to donuts you will be able to jump back in and gear up just as fast as everyone else without missing a beat.

I'm a casual.
I'm in full i90, BiS pre 2.2 (save the allagan wep) and capping Soldiery weekly.
I'm mediocre at best.
I like echo.

Leave me my echo.

I started my atma grind yesterday, ran fates for an hour and got two of them. I have no intention on running fates for more than an hour at a time because I find them rather boring. You only grind as much as you want to. I see no point in being that obsessive on getting anything. You'll burn out quickly.

You aren't alone on the atma grinding, though honestly I'm more annoyed with the locking out of Turn 6+ in coil if someone hasn't completed turn 5, much like how they did the same thing last patch with the primal fights. I've cleared every primal EX from 2.1 and there is no practical reason why someone needs to wait on Garuda to go fight Titan or Ifrit, and the problem is going to get worse now that they've thrown in Leviathan and King Moogle Mog extremes, requiring people to have cleared ifrit just to try them out.

If players are at end game and geared enough, just let the players do what they want to do, with who they want to do it with. Why is this such a hard thing to understand?!

Stress, by the power of the squishy stress relief hand ball I banish thee!

- I've also been keeping up with the new tribe quests as well, but common... I did this twice already, don't expect the game to "gain more content" just because you add 30 days of 12 repetative quests (3-6 per day).

- Echo buff.
This is something that I really hate, it's a slap in the face to the players and it ruins the sense of skill required to play this game!

Thanks for the time

Yeah I feel ya, I barely ever log in anymore and my friend spends all his time on FFXI now. I still think it's a great game, but eh, everytime I'm about to log in, I just don't and do something else.
