Please help me understand why i should continue to play a repeat of 2.0?

Skizzle isn't asking for the game to be overhauled, he's commenting on the fact that the types of battle content (both current and planned) is an identical pattern to 2.0, rather than mixing it up and adding some new battle systems as most expansion packs for most MMOs usually do. And rightly so. Is it too much to ask for a new type of PvE in an expansion?

I've only played a few MMOs, but every one of them died shortly after changing their end game to something new, usually while also making drastic changes to classes. We don't put so many hours into this game because we want a different game. They don't have an unlimited budget. If they start making alternatives to raids and dungeons, development resources will get pulled from other areas.

If you want a different game, try different games. This game is clearly doing something right as it's extremely successful.

The proression that he doesn't like is exactly what makes this game what it is.

The OP still has yet to claim he likes anything about this game. Again, for the 10th time, you are doing it wrong if you need to ask why you should play a game. The answer to that question will always be: You shouldn't continue playing the game. You should find a game that you like. You can then come back to this game after a break and see if it's fun again. If it isn't, oh well. It's a video game.

I also don't want a different game, and I never said anything about endgame content... It could be something as silly as bringing back chocobo escorts! It's just something different.

Also, to use FFXI as an example, this is a game that changed its endgame every single expansion (dynamis, sea, sky, abyssea, on and on) and is still going (just about). So much variation in the types of PvE battle content available, whilst very much keeping the game itself the same game.

I'm all for some new stuff, which this game does add btw. That said, only if the new stuff is minor enough that it doesnt tKe resources from the stuff many of us like. Maybe they can make the people working on hunts do something else.

I'mnot under the impression that minor things like this will satisfy the OP though. He is complaining about the current system of progression.
