I'm sad to see this game going the same route as SWTOR.

Sadly this MMO is making the same mistake as countless others. It is becoming tedious to do the same thing over and over, week after week. It speaks volumes that all of the best equipment in the game is linear and gated. There is not enough unique content to go around. Because of that, SE and Yoshida had to create time barriers to keep the carrot in front of the players. Unfortunately the sparkle of a new game world is wearing thin. It's bound to happen no matter what a developer does. However, there are things that should be happening that are not.

We have all been informed that what we see now is what we will have all the way through 2.3. There will be no new major content goals, no new area expansions, no new races, and no new classes. We will have this same grind for tomes, primals, Coil, and the laughable ragefest that Crystal Tower is going to be. FFXIV is in a rut of repetitious content for the foreseeable future.

This game was designed with assembly line workers in mind. If you enjoy doing the same thing over and over again until it looses all meaning, this game is for you. If you enjoy mind-numbing content that is just a rehash of the same existing content, this game is for you.

If you enjoy sideways progression, full-immersion content, expansive story, or crafting that matters; good luck. You won't find it here in the next 6-8 months.
