I think it's someone studying law. Lawyers are never in their right mind.

Oh hells no, I just read too much, but....your second point is valid-ish

Final Fantasy XIV feels like a chore since 2.0. Everything needs to be finished fast, otherwise you cannot keep up with everything new.
If you want to stay in raiding, you always need the best clothes.
Before 6.2 I forced myself to do CC as much as possible to not loose access to that new clothing set, even tough since Corona I have troubles breathing when I am focussed (and get dizzy and stuff).

Now this content is just for taking everything easy.
You have your personal (really wide) space, where you can do whatever you want. Yes, I used Inns since 1.x a lot. Now I have a bigger place.
Furthermore you achieve nothing. That means you do not have to do anything.

And yeah, I am still Level 3 and nobody cares. This is fantastic. I could take my time last week to visit the Gamescom multiple times. There is no raidleader on my island, who forces me to be there.

People need to see, that some content is not for them. Otherwise there would be no Extremes and Ultimates

I appreciate having fun content without having to run into show-offs every few seconds in glowing mounts and show the world how well they did in FFXIV.

But, I can't help but feel that this is more a way for Tataru Ex to exploit us for free than anything else.

Because I wouldn't call it a holiday to go to a deserted island and colonize it.

It's like in Stardew Valley, we're sick of working in a multi-national corporation, but we go to our grandfather's house to think about money and create a viable farm that brings in millions of gold.


Tataru Ex is Tom Nook

Sounds nice but in reality you wouldn't even step one foot into a real forest without a guide.
But come to forum and looking for something to shit, pretending to do god's work to secure the game's future, that how you guys "relax".

Always the same people that have to be condescending and negative about the game 24/7 even in appreciation post.

and don't forget the ones who jump to their defense crying "freedom of speech" or accuse you of being a snowflake because they couldn't stop themselves from shoving their negative opinion in your face.

Good thread.
