You have enough casual/fluff content now, how about that endgame progression SEnix?

[Tatl]

You talk like concept > design > build > test > cleanup is something that happens overnight. You realize most of this content they're adding has probably been in development since 2.1? Dungeons specifically I mean, they aren't going to just up and design you a brand new raid just because you ask for it overnight for no reason. You have coil, you have crystal tower, they update them and add more in an alternating fashion every single major content patch. Get off your high horse or get out.

You seem to think you're so well informed and knowledgeable about what does and doesn't make an MMO good. Go make one yourself and get as many subscribers as FFXIV has, clearly you know better than Square-Enix or any other company does!

Bah.....Doesn't matter what u get, your still gonna whine.

Yeah SE should devote enormous resources to cater to 1% of the population....hurr durr.
Why dont you just go back to all the mmo's you speak so highly of

And the answer would be - the majority of them. Those of us that have actually played other MMOs and dealt with the communities first hand (not via some terrible forum stereotype that people perpetuate because the want their game to be "teh bestest"), know that pretty much all long term MMOs have reasonably diverse groups of people playing them.

names please? how many P2P games currently has more than 1 million subs?

More eight-player content means fewer resources to develop stuff I can enjoy without listening to socially inept idiots over Mumble.

And this is the other thing that I'm struggling to understand - why don't people build statics from their own FCs. Isn't this kind of the point of a FC - a group of like minded people who band together to do gaming things? Unless you're saying that your FC is made up of socially inept people?

I don't get why people would join up with a bunch of others in their FC to do minor (but fun) stuff, and then join up with a bunch of random nobodies and try and clear difficult content.

This post reeks of selfishness, egocentrism, ignorance and sweeping generalizations. If you so despise that content, why don't you just ignore it and let people who enjoy that play style enjoy it ?

Unless you're on an alt or something, OP hasn't even beaten turn 5 yet, so maybe go finish the food on your plate before asking for more? Ignore this if you've already cleared current content.

The subscription numbers were irrelevant to the point. The point was that players are equally diverse in most games or communities on the Internet. One of my favourite points to make is that, if you put two people in a room together and present them with a series of options, even if both of them appear to be identical on the surface, they will always pick different options. Because this is how people work, in a game or not.

I wouldn't say this patch is casual, lol. Tons of stuff to do, collect, Brutal Coils, achievement in Frontlines to get the mount, multiple sets to get in Syrcus, intensive gardening, money to make to furnish your toom ... its probably the best patch since the release of the game tho

My little finger hint that Savage coils is actually a testbed to see how far SE can actually push in term of difficulty

scheduling / job selection.

my FC has a hell of a problem filling out our 3rd and 4th groups.

it's relevant to what defines a game as successful or not.
