I lost my motivation, Can you help me find it?

Wish this had the level of depth n detail Phantasy Star Online 2 has. Apples and Oranges I know but man...I continue to sub waiting to see their true potential shine but...nothing like that so far outside of the Heavensward story.

What depth? Endgame was nonexistant. You were just challenging silly drops rates for weapons/gear that weren't even necessary. It was no different from this game.

I was fishing for likes? Well, ok, I guess I could use some e-peen stroking if you put it that way.

the fact that you posted that comment "that we saw almost in every thread like this one" says so

Believe what you want, though I fail to see how my remark is to fish for likes when....like gil, do nothing and if I really wanted to fish for likes, I'd be doing it far more often.

Carry on.

op

They loaded Golden Saucer with achievements, players went in for the first 1-2 months got their achievements then left, only coming back for cactpot mega/mini. Achievements shouldn't be tied to side features such as golden saucer. Personally i only go to the saucer for cactpots on a regular basis, ive kept golden saucer to the side just incase i get genuinely bored or have nothing to do, which is rarely next to never. edit: gathering cards for triple triad is not fun when the NPC is cherry picking their cards or your cards, which is downright cheating. when facing the higher difficulty npcs. They could't make genuine algorithms so they came up with fixed card rigging.

PvP
From a tactical standpoint where level 50 is the past for true Wolf's Den goers, removing the i100/i110 rank requirements from gear is a welcomed move that screams "get to 60 and pvp on that level"

Crafting
Crafting serves its purpose. My only gripe is desynthesis, for too long the ilvl 90-120 gear tome and extreme gear could not be desynthed, they waited too long, now that you cant even buy i90-100 gear with the plentiful poetic tomes, leaves a steep difficulty curve between desynth levels 80-100.

My Blacksmith desynthesis was stuck at 95-ish for the longest time. After the expansion, I decided to get it raised even if I had to go full-on brute force to get it there. I used a Tinker's Calm and a Bacon Broth and sat in town buying mythrite daggers from the vendor and breaking them down (ok, mostly breaking them, but the few successes raised it by a LOT initially). I ended up spending around 3mil at the vendor, but it put me around 125, which is a good place to start on desynthing dungeon drops from the lower dungeons.

My suggestion to the OP is , find people to play with help them out :P unless ur personal progression is more important then actually playing with people, then i cant help you

The social aspect is valid to me, but none of my friends or FC want to do PvP/gold saucer because of the reasons in my first post most likely, so we are back to square one sadly

Firion, is that you?

I know that turban anywhere. Favourite char in Dissidia and Duodecim.

In regards to thread, it looks like you've reached the end of the current contents. Unsubscribe and wait for 3.1 or something and move on with life.

FFXIV is a game like many others. Once you get bored with it, you go play some other game. Like Batman.

I prefer myself some Borderlands 2 once in a while myself. Grinding Zodiac weapons isn't very fun when it still takes a week for nexus light to complete. I don't see the point of getting BiS anymore since I don't play raids or EX.

Firion, is that you?

Where did you get that turban.................

Next Veteran Reward after those Cloud set IIRC.

[Narissa]

Best thing about this game was the Main story.. and even that wasn't fully voiced which was abit disappointing :\

All raiding content is just grind, grind and then wait til next patch so they can make the grinding easier and you just /facepalm

[Cynric]

The previous rank gear always has the rank removed, there's no point in gating level 50 110(130) gear in PVP when we have level 60 180(200) gear. Due to morale just boosting the ilvl once you hit 60 and jump into level 60 PVP even the HQ pve quest gear is better suited for PVP than the rank 45 gear.

People already at r45 were only 5 ranks(lotsofexp) away from r50 gear. So there's the reward for hitting r45 right there. The gear itself is just a whatever thing. After the change to morale the PVP gear was never really much of a reward.
