Time to move on since Square Enix does not listen to its Constituents

Moreover, it doesn't require actual "skill".
All you need to do is grind fates for atmas... get to the books stage, and grind for myth.
The actually books are killing mobs, and waiting.

Nothing about the animus requires an actual skill.

Tidal weapons require you to complete ALL primal ex fights, and then farm the Levi Ex fight until desired outcome.
Soldiery weapons require you to complete t1-5, then farm drops from coil 2.
High Allagan weapons require you to be able to do the previous, but clear ALL the way through t9, and farm for weapon.

So long, and thanks for the fish!

Once again ARR was created with PLAYER POLLS that were taken back then in mind. (note, I said IN MIND. Of course it's not based fully off of player base requests.) Since then SE has been in amazing contact with the players.

I refuse to read anything past, "SE doesn't listen to its player base." (Fixed the grammar for you)


If you don't like the game then leave! Why post yet another crap stirring thread about the same old complaints that make no sense! Anyone who thinks SE does not communicate with the player base of XIV is just out of their mind.

Of course they don't make sense to you. You're not the one complaining.

Oh they do communicate with the player base, but it's rather selective. TBH, they've been really good all the way up 2.2. The most recent patch 2.25 was a complete joke. Addressing an "issue" with ATMA by fixing the color of items is more PR gimmick to create an illusion of acknowledging the actual issue at hand. IMO, that's sloppy and bad customer service. Historically, Yoshi-P goes through an in depth explanation of certain design process. THAT to me is true communication, and I would LOVE to hear his justification for this ATMA design. In its current state, it does not encourage and prohibitive to multi-class progress.

You'll be back and look like an idiot for posting this thread for sympathy from people and hoping Square Enix changes it because you made a quitting thread you're not the first.

IMO they were excellent at communicating through beta... but after release, transparency went out the window.

They were behind on development, started throwing that out there with CT and other things, housing was a debacle... and they have just clammed up since.

It would be nice if they returned to the openness that they had in beta, but that is very difficult to do... during beta it was more about re-making content... which they did admirably. After that, we started seeing "rehashing" instead of "original"... and they have, imo had quite a few design missteps with "original" content.

Leviathan seems to be the exception, as it seems to be very well received.

And? you just did prove exactly what i was saying in an earlier post. People do not want to grind RNG and do not want timesinks;

1. Get Tidal Weapon, which does require getting through the actual Ex-Primals. Skill involved i guess?
2. Get Soldiery Weapon, which does require Second Coil at least T7 and Soldiery Farm. Mix of both, Skill and Farming
3. Get High Allagan and beat the current highest/hardest Raid.

Animus is straight timesink/RNG, it is neither casual or hardcore. It is like the listed options just that; an option. If people want something which does require at least a certain amount of "Skill", i've listed 3 options. So why do people complain again? Because you can't get 1 option out of 4, not in a raid? So complaining for the sake of complaining?

.... In other News... The realm continued without your assistance. We'll get a tactical plan together. I'll bring your demands to SE. What is your email? :D

For some people, getting 7 other skilled people together is harder than the encounter itself... so this is the only option where they don't have to have a pre-made or extreme luck with DF and then luck with drops.
