CT loot lockout and the direction of this game will probably cause our FC to quit

[Yuichi]

Mad you can not get gear for all your classes in one week or less and sit in town bragging about it while then coming to forums and complaining there is nothing to do.

[Djeserit]

u have already nothing to do due the limitation ......

Because the item you want is guaranteed to drop frst time and you will always win the roll too. Amirite?

And if they don't like the amount of content that's out (or how it's implemented) the solution is simple: quit subscribing. If you continue to pay for a service that you're unsatisfied with (for whatever reason), that's your fault. Nobody is stopping you from playing a different game.



Cool, good for you.

Ah yes telling players or suggesting they should quit because they dont like something. This is the wrong attitude because if every player that you suggest this too, dose well say good bye to your XIV arr. XIV needed to stay in the over a little while longer and we wouldnt have this catch up patch. It comes down to when they released the game it was a little too early and that the dev's decided to launch even though they knew it wasnt ready to roll out. They in some sense rushed this game out and made everything easy mode but didnt think about endgame, so now we have crap tons of players at endgame without any content for them.

only for gearing up secondary jobs and classes they enjoy to play.

Right, but when Yoshi directly stated that as an option, there was a HUGE thread complaining about it....

People like you who are so far behind shouldn't make assumptions. It takes less than 90 minutes to clear Coil Turn 1 to 5 and get over 200 ToM just from that alone. 3-4 more WP which takes about 9 minutes a run. 90 minutes + 36 minutes = 2 hours and 6 minutes to be completely done with the game for the week.

Tenku, Tenku, Tenku....

It's about having fun, not reaching the proverbial finish line first.

I applaud SE for putting restrictions on loot and timers on dungeons, if not for anything more than giving elitist punks like you the finger.

Of course there was. This is a video game forum, where people come to complain under the guise of near-anonymity.

And as you've no doubt seen, people will complain (or white knight) about anything.

The weekly lockout with Coil is bad already, but a loot lock out for CT? The drops in CT aren't even the best so why the lockout?

This game is heading in a direction that many of us feared it might... full of limitations.

Say goodbye? The majority of people who have these complaints are the end game community (myself included), which is by far the minority. This game is catered to their golden goose which are the casual and moderate players (which far outnumber the 'crap ton' of players you mention). And if you read my other posts, I'm not telling him to quit forever, I'm saying to quit until the game improves to their liking (if it does).

If your FC is quitting this early into the release of the game at the first major content patch, your FC wasn't very committed to being a FFXIV group anyway.

This is more than some silly guild pride thing.

Relationships are a two way street, of which a mutual commitment ideally builds a better outcome for both parties involved. As players, our relationship with SE is providing them with money. In turn, they are to take that money and provide us with content we can enjoy. If we dislike the outcome of our fiscal contributions, our choices are minimal and perhaps extreme. We could grumble on forums like now. We could just suck it up and imply we're okay with something even though we're not. We could quit, and likely with no means to tell the devs why unless there is some kind of exit survey that doesn't automatically get sent to the recycle bin.

There is zero to gain by making this some kind of Us vs. Them thing between casuals and hardcores. What is constant is that more subs, and thus more money, means more content for everyone. If the ultimate and macabre choice is to settle for people unhappy about this quitting now, with nothing to do, or 2 months from now with nothing to do after exhausting CT at a more reasonable pace, the sound financial choice should be obvious. Even keeping 1000 players is likely some low-end employee's paycheck for the year. But if we're to say XIV has 1.5m subs right now and only 10% are dabbling in BC, that's still 150,000 players they're gambling with. Nevermind those who have willfully stayed out of BC or are soon to approach it.

This is a game of chicken that makes no sense for SE to be playing.

I've never liked lockouts. If people want to play more often then others and have more time let them, they did pay thier subscription after all.
