Is anyone else disappointed by the lack of Long Term Goals?

Wow... just wow. You illustrated what is absolute garbage about gaming in 2015. Do it all for ALL THE TITLES! ALL THE MOUNTS! ALL THE GLAMOURS! MUST GET THEM ALL! Because they do......... absolutely nothing. Seriously, oldschool MMO players don't care at all about titles and cosmetics. That is for the "Casuals" that have grown up with those as their rewards.

Then go back to the old school mmo's and leave us "casuals" alone?

Seriously for all you people think FFXI is a godsend.
GO BACK TO THERE.

Hardcore raiders are not the people who believe that they need higher and higher ilevels to feel like they are progressing. Hardcore raiders prefer content that gets harder and harder and never gets easier. They like gear that is reflective of their challenges but saying that a hardcore raider almost prefers vertical isn't true.

I'm a hardcore raider who enjoys challenges and does NOT enjoy the constantly rising ilevels. As soon as you get something, it gets outdated. Why bother with the current challenge when the next challenge comes out in 2 months and with gear that will make the current one obsolete?

Hardcore raiders don't like that. No one really does.



And XI was a godsend for what it was good at. This game benefited from all the successes that XI had and all its character models and how some of these spells/classes even work. Seriously, I'm always baffled about how people say that people who like XI should just leave XIV when this game basically borrows everything from XI. And I'm not just talking names since FF uses the same names for a lot of things. I'm talking XI specific stuff including its models.

And yet we get thread after thread how XI is sooooo much better.
Also, who cares it borrowed stuff from XI?
It is a different game, in case you didn't notice.
If you dislike this game so much, go back and you do us and you a pleasure.
