Pretty sure they were simply stating where they were at in the game and what their plans were, not dictating what "the playerbase" has to do.

Damn they went hard on those topic tag :D

Just came back from my monthly+ break so i'm currently farming the moogle event and grabbed that phénix mount so you can say that currently i'm both on the forum and playing the game !

Then take a break if you're not having fun.

They were able to figure out those things you look back at fondly all on their own, I'm sure they can do it again without your constant "woe is me, the game sucks, and no it's not my own burnout."

Sadly these days I cannot find anything fun or worth doing. It's especially frustrating when (usually newer) players tell me I'm supposedly burnt out or to just take a break...I can't burn out of a game that I'm not able to play because of the lack of worthwhile content. I've been on break pretty much the whole expansion.

Let's stop lying here please. You come to the forum to start wars. You call it the "wrong direction" but who dictates what's wrong? It not being for you doesn't make it wrong as you don't own the game. News Flash, CBU3 don't give af about you and your "time". They get you money monthly regardless if you play or not. For someone so "wise" I'd think you'd get this by now. Apparently not.

You then lie and claim you aren't able to play. Let's fix that. You simply choose not to play because the game doesnt cater to your every whim. That's 100% a choice of your own.

XIV deserved better? By your logic I'd say SE is doing perfect. They have goofs still paying them yet not interacting with their game due to dislike of it. Any company would kill for that free money.

how does op define playing?
is raiding and dungeon crawling playing?
minigames, racing and gold saucer?
pvp? socializing, roleplaying, glamour composing?
interior design in you house? : )

i do most of the above, whenever i want to

Honesty as much as I have my dislikes of certain aspects of the game, I still love other sides of the game, housing, PVP,socializing, the crafting system and venues, that's usually why I get annoyed when I complain and I get told "just quit"

However Aveyond should honestly just quit, dude just spends his time creating novels to tell us how "better" his storytelling is and that the game is made for fortnite players and should "compete" for his time

just leave dude, this game aint for you, it'll never be, he literally hates the game yet subscribes to the forums just to complain about it

Since you seem to be more of a story person that anything. May I recommend trying out Tales of the Abyss for the PS2. Its a hefty game with loads of extra content and its story, world and characters are much better than what most rpg games have pumped out lately imo

And I can fully understand that as ik we've spoken on what you like before. Sure we rarely agree when it comes to the game BUT I'd never take away or minimize what you enjoy. This dude on the other hand seems to enjoy nothing. I generally only suggest quitting to folks like him as there's nothing here for them per their own words. Both he and folks like Neumenon or whatever his name is as you pay just to talk on forums. It makes no sense. CBU3 isn't gonna one day go "well it seems this one person has said they don't like anything about our game in 100 different ways so I guess we should change it to his liking". It's a pipedream.

While I myself didn't find much issue with the recent interviews those alone paints a clear picture where the game is going 7.0 onward. If you didnt like that may be time to rip the bandaid off n save yourself some money. Just maybe.

Thank you for supporting a game financially that you don't play so that the rest of us can. You are truly doing the Light's work.
