CT loot lockout and the direction of this game will probably cause our FC to quit

Yea, I suppose it is sad that people unsub because they reach the top so quick.

But what exactly is the point about getting on top so early? What's the point about paying $15 to reach Coil and another $15 to try and gear and be done with it?

I'll tell you, there isn't any. There are bounds upon bounds of content in FFXIV ARR that probably haven't been touched by these users and its a huge waste of money and time on their part to not even search beyond that one end goal.

Long story short, its the users who take their sweet time and find things to do while their hands are idle that are going to keep this game alive. Those who pay attention to details and things laid out for them to specifically explore and challenge. Not those who reach the top, get bored, and quit. So if you want things to get better, wait. They will. They are coming. And it won't be dragged out like anything George R R Martin writes. It's really coming. For real.

Help your FC mates sound fine, unless CT takes 2 hours to clean it (Caused other raid is rookie, not better geared, ...). You will help one day or two, others times you need do something for you, it's selfish, but the world is made by selfish.

At best, "casual players", that played 4-6 hours, have more time to help friends, the rest of us, playing 2 hours or three, not. 3 months clearing coil, killing Primal extreme an barely do PVP sound not enough to hold subs. watch your fc or other linkshell, subs is dropping.

I have played 2 hours each day and since the release. I have all crafters lvl 50, doing HQ using NQ mats, all disciple of land at lvl 50. I had days don't log caused coil raid done, myth capped, one reason to enter was leveling a class that i will not play much.

The real content rushers are the players who have all class lvl 50, wearing DL all of them. Clear coil is not rush the content, simply is do the content

Still no Dev response........ /sadface

Well, if you obsessively play. (It takes more than 4 hours to get to 50- with or without rest xp and bonus, you are fudging here).

No matter how difficult (read time consuming) or easy (read fast), you would be where you are because you play non-stop obsessively, all day at work and in your free time. You are a compulsive player who might have an addiction.

The solution to this problem has NOTHING to do with this game or how it is designed.

Yeah, that's exactly the way it is. Not for nothing, but neither SE nor any other company will ever be able to supply content at a rapid enough rate to please the entire fanbase. Those of us who move quickly will always be rationed in what we can do. But let me ask you this: Would you rather be on lock-out for the week, or have everything in the game completed with absolutely nothing to do for the next two months?

Granted, they're both crappy options, but I think SE chose the lesser of two evils. In addition to that, though, please remember that endgame is just starting to take shape as far as SE's plans. Up until now, it's been "run coil once a week, grind out WP and AK." With this patch, grinding WP or AK won't be necessary(the efficient players will still choose it, though), since you can just as easily cap your Myth by going through the Daily Roulette, the Beastmen Quests and the Treasure Hunts. You'll also have two endgame raids(albeit one is easier than the raid you MIGHT be working on, but that doesn't apply to the entire playerbase) to go through each week, in addition to 5 dungeons, instead of just two.

I can understand that you want progression, but what most of the playerbase was asking for is variety, and that's what SE is trying to deliver on, since only a minority have actually entered BC, let alone cleared T5. The next patch will likely pad out the endgame even more(one new dungeon, two Hard Mode Dungeons, Leviathan Hard & Extreme), while delivering the next tier of BC.

bored, necroing this thread..

how come the OP hasn't quit yet?
