By what? Turning this game into WOW? Not going to happen. The entire story from lvl 1-70 can be done in a month, maybe 2 if you work a rediculous schedule, god forbid ppl have to actually put in some effort and learn the game as they lvl instead of having everything handed to them. Take some time you might actually enjoy yourself

Actually that wasn't a troll post. Put some effort into the game or unsub. Too many people of your generation holds their hands out and expect stuff to be given to you. We don't want your kind here.

I've played this game for a long time and I like most of these requests. I'd have to disagree with story end of your argument I prefer ffxiv storytelling.

Good Job on reading only the first line of my post and coming up with conclusions,
first im more then likley older then you are
secondly this post has nothing to do with having to work for things in a mmo
maybe read the full post before responding hmm?

While I agree that SE can do a lot to improve the experience for newbies AND vets in getting to at least the HW expansion, I don't think most of your systems-related suggestions hit the mark.

1)Bonuses for bonuses sake do not make collecting or using them interesting. You could argue for more horizontal gear options at max ilvl, but that's a whole 'nother can of worms
2)Proc and click effects automatically make the Anima weapon a must-have instead of "get if you want it for looks/stats/can't do final floor of Savage" if you make those effects worth using. Why do Savage if you can have the best weapon in the game bar none by grinding boar butts? For "glory"? Ha. And if it's something entirely optional like "click to restore HP with a potency of 10, 30s CD" or "10% chance to add 3 to skill speed, doesn't stack"... why bother having it in the first place?
3)Yes this needs to be done, and SE has been making noises at us that they understand our frustrations. Playing the waiting game to see what, if anything, they come up with on this front.
4)I could do without more robes as a caster, but I can see why people would want more options to be a bad-ass wizard/witch or just have something other than a boring cotton robe. More variety is better for everyone.
5)I'd like to wear some light leather armor as a healer so I'm all for this. The only restrictions I'd keep are the job-specific artifact gear for all jobs, even crafters and gatherers.
6)Making PvP interesting is subjective. I'm having a decent time grinding out the Garo achievements but I would like to see some changes in the Feast so that I don't feel completely useless if the enemy has good healers. And they definitely need to do SOMETHING about the wintrade/bot problem in all PvP modes.
7)Hey now, you can skip 99% of the cinematic scenes if you don't want to see them. I like seeing my character react to what's going on. Many of them let you breeze through the dialogue too if you only want to read and don't care to let the VAs finish too. Also, not to be a smart-ass, but this is Final Fantasy- you sign up for cut scenes and a "cinematic" experience when you decide to play!
8)Again subjective, but it would please me to no end if there were simply MORE things to do at level 70. But devs can't create content to match the pace the players consume it so while I want more epic fights and large-scale duties to complete, I understand why it doesn't happen. Maybe this mysterious "Eureka" mode in 4.1 will be exactly what I'm looking for.
9)That's not something you can make a blanket statement about. Adding 3rd party add-on compatibility means SE has to create and support APIs which siphons away dev time on other features. Also, they risk dividing their playerbase into extremes based on who has what. Don't have the boss mechanic call out? Well you should since no one's going to tell you anything or help you out since you can just download and install it, but they will kick you if you mess up too much. Don't parse? Fine, but I hope you don't want to do Savage or even EX primals with certain groups (just look at some of the arguments this has caused on the forums already and it's not even official supported!). It's a huge nightmare for the devs to tackle so it doesn't ruin the experiences they've tried to create. And all the burden will be on them to approve, deny, and moderate what kinds of add-ons are acceptable and which ones aren't. Right now they'll tolerate parsing if you don't go telling everyone that you do it and/or bully people over numbers. That's about as "official" as things are going to get and SE has every right to take that stance.
10)I can't agree with you more here. I hate hate hate that SE designs for females first and makes some lazy attempts to make it look acceptable on males, if they even bother to at all (ugh that 230/240 Eikon tank armor). I also hate that they create more glamours for females than males. Silly me for playing a male character right? If I want to have the best glamour experience I should have just made a cat girl instead. For real though, SE, stop releasing female-only glamour and nothing for guys. And recognize that even if your artists prefer to play dress-up with their waifus there are plenty of us who want to dress up our guys.

XIV isn't a perfect game but just taking ideas wholesale from WoW and slapping them onto the systems here isn't going to make it better. No one can deny that much of XIV's foundations are based on WoW but they've created systems and themes that are entirely their own. There's merit in your arguments though so don't just lash out at people who are disagreeing with you. You won't do yourself any favours by doing so.

Opening Quote: You are not forced to buy the skipping tome, you can just skip through all the old way ESC > skip cutscene or fast forwarding without reading anything.

1. maybe...but if the boni have to be available without the full gear set and the have to be balanced versus other gear.
2. This would probably make the relic weapon mandatory for everyone interested in raiding, so no thing. I'm happy with the way it is now.
3. Yeah and i'm happy they are looking into this by now.
4. Nope. I'm happy of the range of ropes i can choose to glamour.
5. Nope, especially for weapons, they are more or less iconic to the job, same for AF.
6. yeah, but how. I just think they are on the right way with the prune of buttons and abilities in PVP, but i have no idea what most people think would be interesting in PvP.
7. nope, i like the cinematics.
8. yeah, maybe or maybe not. I don't get what all are having with this raidzones, they are just more way to walk before getting to the boss. Perhaps a nice Overworld map which connects the raid bosses but no big dungeon which contains all bosses.
9. Why? Because people can't automate all and everything just with the right 3rd party tool? The only thing i would like is a full functional parser with a analysis toll attached to it with a whole replay function for the fight analyzed.
10. Oh, we have something we have the same opinion on.

---

If people leaving WoW and are trying to find a new home they have to take what they get. Not all appartments have the same layout and so are not all games, even in the same subgenre, have the same layout and weighting different things different.

Sorry, but i have gotten more problems with players describing themself as WoW veterans and then being overwhelmed from the amount of skills and abilities or because all is different then WoW (maybe because this is not WoW) or neglecting the possibility that some things they learned in WoW is not applicable to FFXIV. So i'm happy if this kind of WoW player stays away from FFXIV.

If you ar screaming "I'm an WoW player and i demand that this game is like WoW!" you have fucked up in my eyes.

Firstly, it's clear you have never played a FF game before as the FF series are story-based RPGs, including the MMO titles (the previous FF MMORPG FFXI is also heavily story focused and required completion of story quests far far harder than anything found here in FFXIV to do things like use airships or even ride a chocobo). If you're expecting a game where you can just waltz into endgame battles easily without knowing why your character is entering this ancient Allagan ruin or mechanical Primal then this game is not for you.

Also, criticism of the game is always welcomed by the development team, but only if it's constructive. Sadly your post comes across as nasty and spite-filled. Hence the development team are more likely to just ignore it. In future, try and tone down the vitriol, as even if you're frustrated with something SE are more likely to respond more favorably to criticism if it's written politely and intelligently.

Now for your ideas:

1. Make high end armor sets have Bonuses

---

The development team actually do not wish to follow FFXI's example of gear having bonus effects as they know it will result in gear favouritism for certain content. Most (but not all) tome gear can be melded with materia which means you can sort of customize gear with special stat bonuses so that's at least something. But outright gear bonuses are mostly something that will not happen.

Quote:

---

引用元：Raistlinnnnn

2. make a ANIMA weapon 2.0 and have the weapon either a. have a proc effect or b. click effect

---

There is a 4.0 version of relic/anima weapons coming in the future, presumably sometime around the 4.1 patch which will most likely be in November/December sometime. So just have patience. As for proc/click effects, again SE seem to not be interested in such bonuses as they open too many cans of worms which they are trying to avoid. So I don't see that happening.

Quote:

---

引用元：Raistlinnnnn

3. UPDATE the cosmetic system!!!

---

Can you be more specific? Update it how? If you mean adding a 'wardrobe book' system they've mentioned it in the past that there would be too much modification to the existing programming for gear appearence which could result in unforseen consequences (especially with server load) and thus it's something that probably would be too much trouble to attempt. But they are aware of it and so it could be possible in the future.

Quote:

---

引用元：Raistlinnnnn

4. Make more full robe types for all caster classes

---

Now this is something I agree with, gear design lately has been going towards the far end of 'bizzare organic/fantasy style' and less 'functional but interesting'. Unfortunately there has been more calls from players for Disciples of Magic to be able to wear less robes and more heavy armour like melee and tank classes can wear so I don't know. Guess it's one thing that comes down to individual taste.

Quote:

---

引用元：Raistlinnnnn

5. remove cosmetic restrictions for armor types, if your a whm you should be able to wear a blm robe , or staff for example and vise versa,

---

Uh, if you're meaning Artifact Armour (AF) or similar Job specific gear, then no, this will never happen - Yoshi himself actually stated as such during the Beta test as that would destroy the whole point of AF in the first place (AF is meant to be gear that takes on the traditional appearence or theme of that Job from past FF games, like a WHM robe is a white robe with red triangles etc). And to a lesser extent, a healer wearing tank gear would no longer be a WHM as they'd look like a tank.

And weapon restrictions are even explicitly static - here in FFXIV your class/Job is your weapon. Using a sword and shield makes you a GLA/PLD, a wooden staff or wand is a CNJ/WHM, a metal staff or rod is a THM/BLM etc. This is how the game has been since 1.0 and it is a fundamental part of the Armoury System, the game's ability and class system. Although there has been a lot of tinkering to it over the years, weapon type being restricted to a specific class is not something I see them changing I'm afraid. Same goes for gear restrictions.

---

Not going to happen. This is a Final Fantasy game first and foremost, and cinematic sequences/cutscenes are SE's stock in trade (and a major selling point of the game). If you don't like the cutscenes, skip them (hit enter to skip through dialogue, or ESC to skip a full cutscene), as SE are not going to remove them.

Quote:

---

引用元：Raistlinnnnn

8.make actual raids, with raid zones and multiple bosses

---

Uh, we have raids in this game with multiple bosses. If you're expecting open world raids that is not going to occur. Raids will always be instanced here, it's a design choice SE have set themselves on.

Quote:

---

引用元：Raistlinnnnn

9. allow 3rd party addons,

---

Apparently SE were considering allowing players to make addons within certain parameters, but nothing more was mentioned about this so I'm liable to take it that they've since decided it was unworkable to their wishes and so quietly dropped those plans. So unless they instead announce otherwise I'm going to say that they've abandoned this idea I'm sorry.

Quote:

引用元：Raistlinnnnn

10. all gear doesnt need to be designed for female toons, this is more apparent especially when you play jobs like WHM

---

Well, they are making a lot more gear more gender neutral but I don't see this really changing as female clothing styles are just more interesting than male usually. Also, this isn't an attack but some advice, please try not to use the word 'toon' here as it's not appropriate for this game (given FFXIV has realistic graphics and character models, the word just seems silly and juvenile). It's better to use 'character' or 'char' for short instead. :)

Either way, I'm sorry if it seems like I was attacking you as I was not. You did have some good ideas, it's just how you approached it that was the problem. Attacking people only makes them put up a wall and ignore you, defeating the whole purpose of constrictive criticism.

P.S. I'm being pedantic I know but Squaresoft does not exist anymore. It's been Square Enix for over 14 years now. ;)

for a lot of MMO players, the mmo doesnt start until max level, and when you have played as many as i have, (even though i played through the story to get the pets and mounts) the last thing you want to do is level another char on a new game

and honestly in comparison to most mmos, the leveling process in FFXiv is PAINFUL especially the inbetween story parts between expacs

Sorry, friend, but this is where you lost me. FFXIV doesn't pretend to be anything more than a story-driven MMO, a Final Fantasy game first and foremost. The game has a heavy emphasis on, in this player's opinion, one of the strongest FF stories since 10. Going to the game with the mentality of "BUT MUH END GAME GEARS" is, frankly, silly.

Also, to the point of "actual raids", there will be a 24-man raid coming in patch 4.1, along with the next stage of anima weapons, so your lack of patience doesn't mean the creators need to cater to you.

Is this game perfect? No, it's not. But the things you are suggesting serve to turn this game into WoW, and I left that game for a reason.

---

But you're coming into an expansion that's barely 2 months old, saying that there's a lack of content. Of course there's a lack of content, we aren't even one major patch in!

Also, with the current systems in place, I'm not entirely sure how you would make gear more interesting. If you're talking about having gear sets that alter abilities, sorry, but no, I always hated that mentality of "must have" because one ability hits slightly harder. I prefer the mentality of side grades that the game has now, where the idea of "must have" is contigent on meta and optimization options.

EDIT: I should also add that, just because there's a lack of content that YOU want to do, doesn't mean there's a lack of content. How many hours have you wasted in Gold Saucer? Have you tried out this years Rising event? Do you level crafting? Have you tried leveling other classes?

1. I won't lie but I've always liked set bonuses /agree
2. To go one step further I always felt any weapon you put a lot of time and effort into or fought against RNG to get should have some kinda added effect
3. I think all of us will agree this game is in dire need of a glamor catalogue
4. No opinion/don't really care.
5. THIS THIS THISSS!! I don't need to be told how I can or can't dress in real life, don't tell me how I can or can't in a game
6. Probably won't happen without a complete combat redesign for both PVE and PVP
7. As much as I like cut scenes, yes I feel this game overdoes them for even the most menial of things. If there's no real interaction, then yes they should be saved for the important parts.
8.I don't raid but I would support this for the players that like to raid/
9. This game really doesn't need that many add on's if you ask me.
10. No issues from me, other games I play even if an outfit is made for a female NPC or main story character and it goes to the players, they always have a male version of it as well.

Good lord, OP - while you make a lot of good points that I agree with later on in your post, your opening so raised my hackles I almost didn't notice them.

Suffice it to say, not only do I disagree with the notion that players should be able to skip "that crap" for free, I don't think they should be able to skip it at all. Players with patience and tolerance, who are willing to shovel a lot of dirt before they hit gold tend to be a much higher grade of player than those that scream and cry if they can't get what they want RIGHT NOW. No, plowing through the Main Scenario doesn't do anything to improve a player's gaming skills, but it DID do a lot to weed out the folks with poor attention spans and short fuses.

And that's to say nothing of the folks who might actually ENJOY the story, but feel pressured to skip it all by their friends who want them to join them at endgame sooner.

Sadly, SE wants to make money more than they want to cultivate a high-quality playerbase, and the skip scrolls do that twice over, both by funneling money to SE by way of the cost of the scrolls, and also by retaining players who aren't patient enough to wait a few weeks to get to the "good stuff".

For your other stuff, yeah - 1 and 2 I definitely agree with. Gear needs to be more interesting. 3, 4, 5, and 10 are good, as well - glamour system needs a lot of fixes (though, with 10, I'm not quite sure I agree that healer gear is as girlie as you say). Don't care enough about PvP to agree or disagree with 6. 7 is good - would definitely like to see more emotion from my character in cinematics (but wait - I thought we were skipping "that crap"?) and meaningful dialog choices would be nice (though I doubt this will happen, given that this game doesn't have "story paths" of any kind). 8 sounds awesome; would love to see this. Don't care about 9, since I play on PS4 and likely wouldn't be able to use them anyway - but as long as they don't provide PC players advantages that would make them more desirable in parties than console players, sure, addons ahoy!

why are yall baited so damn easily

I'll answer this thread far more politely than I should. English is a wonderful language and you should learn to use it properly.

Deconstructing your post and looking past the absurdity of your language I will say that I had the same reservations about jump potions as you do, however Yoshi P has said on record that this is something that will be addressed in the future, and players won't be expected to slog all the way through ~5 expansions to get to endgame. Jump potion will not be their solution to that growing problem, only an optional means of an instant skip.

Having said that, you are in the minority in thinking the storytelling in this game is poor. Many many people praise it and use it as a selling point of the game, having characters that you can properly invest in and actually have meaning and impact on the world rather than being a basic NPC with some lore background explained through world exploration. The story itself is ambitious for an MMO and rivals even single player final fantasies in its scope. I would seriously reconsider your angle before you dismiss it completely, being uninterested is fine, but you seem downright uninformed.

4. Hell no please, they need to do the contrary.

She isn't a troll but stop tying to make final fantasy into another game. It's not WOW and it's not focused on your devoted end game raiding scene and never will be. The story is a big part of the game and I'm so happy they make you pay to skip it.

Naw dude some things I like but way to many things I dont like with this post

The only suggestion I would seriously consider is #8. The other ones are too arbitrary to be taken seriously.

I have to say, weapon procs and effects were more interesting than just being stat sticks. I remember in some FF games you could add status effects to your physicals.

They might make balancing SS more difficult though, but I guess you could make them only proc from autos instead.

I think they're gone from WOW as well.

I disagree with 7,8,9,and 10.

If you have a good idea for pvp do share. I don't mind our pvp but ideas are good.

Lastly, you say "truth is huge portion of the new player base are people from wow."

Where are you getting these numbers?

I'm sceptical that making big changes to the game to accommodate the current influx of WoW gamers we are apparently getting. If people are looking for a new game to play and are liking 14 that's great but changing the game to suit them isn't going to be a good idea if they'll just switch back to WoW the next time WoW adds something the like the sounds of.

The game does need feedback but it needs to be more than make the game more like the game I was playing, some of us like the core design of the game and alienating them just to try and pick up people look for a small change from another game probably isn't good long term thinking.

Disregarding the initial outburst, which you have wisely edited out, you had me through #6, then lost me after.

Particularly, I'd like it if every significant/rare weapon (not just relics) had fixed stats and a unique effect (and possibly be untouchable by glamour, but I know people will scream bloody murder over that bit).
Would work far better however, if the game didn't cling so heavily to the vertical progression system and weapons were more than just stat upgrades as a rule.
As you (and others) would like the game to be closer to WoW, I have my own games I'd like things modeled after.

The cinematics, story, etc. are a major focus of this game, and for those that enjoy them, removing any of them wholesale would be wholly unacceptable.

We have a "Skip scenes on subsequent playthroughs" option already though, so I wouldn't be opposed to a "Skip all cutscenes" checkbox as well for people that just want to rush though.

3rd-party add-ons are not something I want (and I'm going to assume you mean parsers here, which is especially a "No" from me). They either become required, which is just obnoxious to manage, or they're pointless, which is... well... pointless... Opening up portions of the game via an API to external, out-of-game tools like GW2 did could be alright though.

Coming from someone who looks like they're a jumper due to having two classes at 70, and one at level 1.....you've missed a lot of other content you might not be able to get into due to how few people actually do them now days.

There's a thing called an armoury bonus. You get bonus EXP to classes of the same type (Combat/Gathering/Crafting) for anything that's under the highest level one you have. There's also food and grand company EXP bonuses, as well as special items you can get from your squadron, if you bother with that at all, that gives you a 15% EXP bonus for two hours

Personally if people from WoW are coming here and they act anything like you, their age won't save them from what people think about them after a very short while

You weren't doing bad until you reached #7, then I couldn't take it seriously. This is a story-driven MMO and it even has Final Fantasy in the title. That's just the type of game it is. Though I will admit I wish our characters would interact a bit more in said cutscenes. Stormblood was a step in the right direction as far as that goes.

OP I too originally came from WoW, back in ye olden days when it was possible for a low level Forsaken to stray too close to the Plaguelands, click on the Blood of Heroes, and get wrecked by the elite lv 60s that would spawn. (Because sometimes that item mistakenly spawned in Tirisfal...good times.) What I'm trying to say is I left that behind. I came to this game because it wasn't WoW and didn't do things in the same way as WoW. I came because I wanted something with a more engaging story and different gameplay. I got that. While some of what you're after is QoL, a lot of what you're after is just WoW systems you grew accustomed to and enjoyed. No shame in that but all games do not need to do the same things in the same way.

1: Possibly. I think they've said they're toying with it. I think the Savage folks might appreciate it.

2: Anima weapon 3.0 coming soon, please look forward to it.

3: Just about everyone wants this and while SE has shot down the most popular request they have said they're interested in doing 'something'.

4: Actually as a caster class can I get LESS robes?

5: Artifact gear is Iconic for a reason, it can stay that way. Weapons are your job thus they can stay that way. Everything else, I don't see why not.

6: Needs more definition. 'Interesting' is too broad a request. What isn't holding your interest?

7: And you lost me. I like cinematics. You're free to skip them with a simple button click. As long as they don't put them in dungeons anymore I'm good.

8: I kinda enjoy that I no longer have to dedicate time to clearing previous trash/bosses to progress. I can just queue up and punch the boss that is actually meaningful to me at the time.

9: Devs put their foot down and honestly, I'm okay with that. QoL improvements should come from them, not from third party software.

10: I'm all for equal opportunity glamour. Personally, I'd like if the female armors covered us up a little more though (looking at you Dragoon AF 1.0).

OP over all your biggest mistake was saying 'I came from WoW'. That picks up a lot of hostility on the forums because, honestly, this isn't WoW and a good lot of us really don't want it to become WoW. There are a ton of things WoW does and does very well and there are a ton of things FFXIV has already stolen from WoW to it's betterment. But FFXIV really and truly doesn't need some of the things you're talking about here. The differences are what ensures that this game is it's own entity, beyond just graphics and mechanics.

I have to say, weapon procs and effects were more interesting than just being stat sticks. I remember in some FF games you could add status effects to your physicals.

They might make balancing SS more difficult though, but I guess you could make them only proc from autos instead.

I think they're gone from WOW as well.

---

Weapon procs even existed in this game as well at a time. The original relic and all the original primal weapons from 1.0 had special effects and procs to them. I remember Moogle weapons had a life draw effect on them, Ifrit weapons had a flame damage proc on them, I never got a Garuda weapon but I think that had a wind damage proc on it, and the relics were loaded with effects as well. What gets me the most is these all came after Tanaka, so they were designed by Yoshida and put in by Yoshida. I dunno why they didn't make the jump to 2.0 unless it involved Yoshida's quest for simplicity.

Coming from someone who looks like they're a jumper due to having two classes at 70, and one at level 1.....you've missed a lot of other content you might not be able to get into due to how few people actually do them now days.
if people from WoW are coming here and they act anything like you, their age won't save them from what people think about them after a very short while

i leveled my WHM mage via story to unlock everything, and jumped my BLM to 60 from lv 30 because i hated the leveling process, its terrible ...thats my opinion
people like me that come from WoW raiding in mythic raid content, will easily integrate into end game content in this game, so more people like me, means more people running end game content

1. Make high end armor sets have Bonuses

---

Not entirely opposed to this, but SE would have to take into consideration the way players determine BiS gear sets, which are not necessarily all from the same gearsets. Some pieces may be tomestone gear, others Savage gear, others crafted, etc.. So they would have to either a. Make the gearset bonuses appealing enough to go with a complete set as opposed to a mixture like current BiS, or b. Consider allowing the mixing of different sets and different stats.

2. make a ANIMA weapon 2.0 and have the weapon either a. have a proc effect or b. click effect

---

Please, no. My job is already reliant enough on RNG procs, I really don't want it added to my weapon as well.

3. UPDATE the cosmetic system!!!

---

Definitely think the Glamour System has things that need addressing. Please add a glamour log into this game. Even better, allow for gears to have multiple glamour options so that we can have one glamour for, say, WHM, and another for AST, and a third for SCH. Variety is always a good thing to have, and I don't necessarily like all of my healers looking the same, or my BRD looking like MCH, etc..

4. Make more full robe types for all caster classes

---

Don't really have an opinion on this, since I don't really play casters, but more glamour options are always a good thing.

Quote:

---

5. remove cosmetic restrictions for armor types, if your a whm you should be able to wear a blm robe , or staff for example and vise versa,

---

AF gear should remain locked to jobs, in my opinion. Weapons as well. It would be a little odd to see a DRK running around with a bow, or a SMN running around with a sword and shield. As for non-AF gear, please remove glamour restrictions for them. There's no need for them at all.

6. make pvp interesting

---

If the PvP crowd thinks there need to be changes to PvP, please consider them. I just PvP casually; definitely not seriously. So I am indifferent.

7. get rid of 95% of the cimatics, dont need to see my char bobbing his head to rescuing sheep, it might be different if our avatars talked, and we could choose what they say like in swtor.

---

SE has started adding more "choose what you character say" options with the release of Stormblood, and in the later patches of Heavenward. As for cinematics, I enjoy them. However, I kind of wish that my character didn't always have such a blank look on her face. She constantly looks confused by everything. Though, that is pretty amusing.

8.make actual raids, with raid zones and multiple bosses

---

They kinda have this already with the 24-man raids.

9. allow 3rd party addons,

---

If this is a request for an in-game parser, then SE will never allow this. As much as I would like an in-game parser, they're pretty firm on their stance regarding parsers. You can use them, but be discreet. The Devs are very "don't ask, don't tell" when it comes to using parsers.

10. all gear doesnt need to be designed for female toons, this is more apparent especially when you play jobs like WHM

---

Yeah, they could stand to add more "masculine" glamour options for gear. I think some of the healer gear tends to look pretty feminine on male characters sometimes (like the AST AF gear, both from Heavensward and Stormblood), but some people like that. To each their own.

Forums need a downvote button for this exact reason. Go back to WoW.

---

But then the forum would become even more reddit than it actually is and reddit is awful for being a hivemind. I'd rather the like button be removed and only be enabled by moderaters when it comes to community votes for content or suggestions.

i would just like to see more end game stuff, and the end game gear to be interesting and unique, instead of stat sticks

---

They can't just dump everything at the end game. It's about the journey, not the destination, yo. It takes time to develop that content, so naturally it trickles out piece by piece.

And gear has always been about getting better stats. From start to finish. Sure, it's not very engaging, but, ultimately, it's what gear always comes down to, anyway. Devs could spend too much time making all sorts of variety gear, but in the end, players will inevitably settle on what is "best" and all other gear is worthless, making all that work a bit of a waste. Gear is just there to get you closer to more gear.
