Time to Quit

At this moment, my sub has a few hours left.

I am just using the last bit of time to stalk around the forums and let out my disappointment on what the game has become.

EDIT: Will I ever return? Who knows, for now I will be playing other games that nice people here recommended me like GW2 and Honkai Star Rail.

I really want something different for 7.0 rather than just add in another boring exploratory zone.

Because exploratory content has logos and horizontal progression

Being top of the DPS less using deep profane on WHM because I am 10/10/10 on honours with +15 haste armour is just a feeling that the lacklustre main jobs completely miss, it’s about the only way to have fun on a healer these days

And exploratory content is still extremely profitable and you can do it all while socialising with other people, communities grow up around field content, people come watch others duel and offer advice, people hold Cassie so everyone gets a chance at her earring

It’s everything I want in an MMO

If 7.0 is more of Endwalker then I'm out.

At this point I severely doubt that the next expansion somehow will answer all of your content prayers. The combat isn't going to change, the questing isn't going to change, outworld content isn't going to change, class design isn't going to change and the game will NOT try to hold your sub hostage via grindable chores.

This is the game. This is FFXIV. The only way 7.0 will mean anything to you guys if somehow they just completely rework the entire structure of the game.

I'm saying this because it's shocking how much I'm seeing people holding out so hard for 7.0 to somehow be vastly different than what we've had so far and I'm not talking about EW.

I think some people have simply put a lot of time into the game over the years and are just curious. I'm out and occasionally subscribe to fill in some Savage groups and probably log in once a week at most, but I'm admittedly also a little interested to see if any of the criticism EW has attracted has had any impact whatsoever. I'm under no illusions about what they're taking the game, though, and I'm not counting on 7.0 to offer me anything.

You know when you're in class and everyone's messing around, and you're wondering if the teacher's going to turn up before the bell rings? Kinda like that.

You know whats more interesting then the future of this game?...the Future of these Forums.
How many of us are still going to be here posting the same crap by 7.0, or even 8.0?

Didn't you already make this bait thread before?

Thought so too yeah, I felt like I had seen this before, it's pretty much just bait

You guys are on heavy copium deluxe if you think 7.0 will change the gameplay and content provided.

The game design philosophy in this game is literally railroads. That’s all you get and will be getting.
New patch ? Here 1 dungeon and maybe some raid bosses if you’re in the right patch for it.

Got a M house in the best possible spot in the Mists, still have ~40 days of sub. But since I don’t even login anymore except once a week to do a quick challenge then out, what’s the point ? There is just no engaging longterm content to eat, absolutely 0 exploration…

I just accepted that this is the game that FFXIV will forever be. Will I quit? Maybe, but sadly there really isn't any other MMO out there that I enjoy on an equal level as XIV, and I practically played them all.

Not to say that I haven't enjoyed my time with the game, but there's more content I'm either "meh" towards than content that I actually want to do. Relic is embarrassingly easy, and there's very little stuff for midcore players. I really hope with 7.0 they are able to bring back some spark to this game. But if not, then I'm just going to start window shopping for other adventures.

Hmm yeah, like others said, I too will wait until we see 7.0 info. Though personally I'm still hoping for mystic knight for the next job. If we get that.... even though the story may be bad, I'll play 7.0 solely for it. But after that, I just hope that there will be other good MMOs as replacement.
