Can this game stop being a monday game?

[Borfin]

I find it odd so many people point out older games release when trying to defend a lack of content. New games should learn from the mistakes of older games, not repeat them.

You mean like mindless repetitive grinds to gear up before being able to enter raid content at all?

Which FFXIV has in spades...tho atleast we were able to play for more than just one day a week!

I can understand where your frustration is coming from. I think we all know that the weekly caps are an artificial way to 'increase the end-game content.'

It's sad, and frustrating, but, the developers are aware that there isn't enough end-game content to fully satisfy the end-game crowd. They've made the decision to use these caps as a progression barrier, to artificially extend the available end game content.

Now, what I'm about to say next should not be taken as "If you don't like it go play something else." My honest suggestion to you is to stop playing for a while. Maybe after 2.1 though, so you can evaluate the new content and see if it will interest you. If it doesn't, or you don't think it will last very long for you, take a break from FFXIV until the next patch, when they introduce additional Coil turns. Let your FC know what you plan to do and why, and if they're a good group, they'll understand.

Wait, so, there's repetitive grinds, but... it takes you one day a week to do them?

What?

AK and WP? its kinda all we are forced to do to gear up our other jobs...ya know cause running the same shit on 8 different jobs is just an illusion of content and all. Kinda gotta do that in order to be able to raid :/. But hey atleast we can play all these jobs on 1 character to..not...raid with them? huh.....

Here's an idea, if you don't roll 99 on your lot, throw it away.
This way, you'll be able to rejoice at the marvelous concept of "fake longetivity MMO" :-p

[KyoKunChan]

You paying to play? They don't give two shits.

Wait, what? You don't have to gear up alt jobs in order to raid.

Are you just pulling points out of your butt now?

Calling AK/WP grinds compared to the EQ grinds... That's just flat-out laughable, especially considering you can quite conceivably clear turn 1 in AK/WP gear.

That's right. You don't actually NEED myth gear or even darklight. The bonus vit is just insurance. Get better at coordinating CDs and Adloquiuim/Succor. It's doable, promise.

Really all your points kind of come back to "it's super easy to get into and thus complete raid content", which is true, intended and much better because those kind of EQ grinds sucked. I'm blown away by the people who claim it was fun to farm mobs for 6 hours per material.

Well for one, no one knows the exact information on CT "gear lockouts" (saying GEAR because it's not like coil, it can be ran without any running lockout).

Two, personally I always gave something to do whether it's leveling black Mage it monk more, crafting for my weaver because I really want a Vanya set or running wp for tomes. So with that said I can't really understand people who have nothing to do.

If SE's model is to have final-tier content be useable for gearing a solitary job with a secondary tier for alt jobs (i.e. Coil gear for main, CT gear for alt) then I actually have to commend them on their ingenuity.

One CT run per job per week? Interesting thought.
