Does SE not realise their game has no content?

[Molly_Millions]

If this game had no content.... then it wouldn't be playable.

this works better http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...=1#post1578528

Don't link to the page, not everyone has the same number or post per page, for example, this post is on page 4 for me.


Edit*

Leveling a different class does not add content, it is a different way to experience the content.

It's like going to work with your bike instead of your car. The road and the environment doesn't change, your means of experiencing the road just changes.

Except that you can't do WAR quests as PLD, for example. All class and job quests ARE new content for somebody who has not done them.

What if people have no interests in leveling other classes or crafts?
Derp. This guy has done way more than other people, and yet, people STILL want everyone to do
every single thing in this game.
Yeah, the things have stories, I like the crafter stories and I like crafting, but eerrr...not a lot of people like to Boringly FATE grind
their way to 50 on other classes. No one wants to press 2 button for hours crafting.

Maybe you should use more than 2 ...

That's not entirely true. Playing other classes does open new quests that you can't otherwise play if you didn't play that class. Is it a LOT of content, no. But it's 10 quests and stories you don't experience if you don't do them.

The road may be the same but the air running over your entire body is different. Maybe you prefer going down the road on the bike instead. You never know until you try.

Exactly! Leveling is "apart" of content. Without leveling, this wouldn't be a MMORPG game. Each time you gain X amount of levels you are able to experience a new dungeon/part of the story/able to tackle down mobs you couldn't have previously/Get into a GC etc. Leveling is all apart of that, That's why I feel "in a sense" Leveling is content. However, everyone has different definitions on what they consider content, and I totally understand.

[Teirafon]

Any player with more then 5 hours a week to play this game has pretty much already completed everything it has to offer

Not everyone. I have more than 5 hours a week to play and I still have a long way to go. I play at a slower pace.

People are still quibbling over semantics? I thought this was cleared up already.

NM i forgot the nature of these forums. if its not on the first or last page, its forgotten or ignored...

"Oh my god! I only have played for 5 hours per day since release and I got nothing else to do anymore! I'm so bored! This game has no content!"
Playing for more than 400 hours and complaining that "there is no content" is quite funny to read.

"I don't want to level every class to 50. Doing FATEs over and over again is stupid."
Then, congratulations, you got a lvlmax character with the best available gear. You finished the main storyline as well as optionnal end game content. You beat the game. Now what? Well, now nothing. As I said, you beat the game. Come again when some more content is available, just like you would do with every other game.

"It's not my fault if I want to be productive and play efficiently! Doing sidequests/dungeons isn't worth it, you get less exp! I rushed the game to be level max and grab my best gear in the less possible amount of time, because I'm such a badass MMO vet'."
Are you complaining that you rushed the content and tried to be as "efficient" and "productive" as possible, meaning in fact that this kind of play is not fun, that you beat the game in the quickest play possible... and now you have nothing to do?
Isn't that the point of it? If you want to rush everything and "work" (quite literally) yourself to the top at sonic speed... isn't that what you are seeking, to beat the game? What were you expecting if it's not? Make up your mind.

As for me, no thanks, I'll continue to enjoy the available content "at snail pace" because I'm not stupid and I know that there is nothing that waits me in the wonderful land of "I-did-everything-and-now-there-is-nothing-else-to-do-for-me".
I don't want to be "productive" and "efficient", because that what my boss ask me to do everyday at work.

I want to play a game for fun.
I KNOW, RIGHT? IT'S SUPER SILLY AND IT MAKES NO SENSE, WHAT AM I DOING?


TL;DR version: The fun doesn't begin when you're done with everything you wanted to do. The fun comes while doing it.
Stop rushing, there's nothing after the end... and yes, there is an end.

(I could make a "having sex" comparison here, but you might get a little upset after I would have said that you were terrible in bed for trying to "rush it". Damn, it's so tempting tho'!)

Sooooo... no content you say? After a quick character search of your character this is brought to my attetion:


You are nowhere NEAR done with this game. You leveled 1 Job class to 50. Didn't you hear? Each class has it's own back story, which is a storyline all on its own! Perhaps if the above picture showed you at all 50's then yes, i'd say you are done, go take a break, go read a book, and wait until 2.1 and 2.2 but you are far from done! Sure you have a WHM all decked out. That's one character. That's one job storyline you have completed. No content...jeez kids these days.

You don't have to level every job to 50 to be done. Believe it or not some people don't like playing other jobs. I for one only like tank classes. As with most games I don't pay attention to story that's what movies/tv/books are for.
