How would you feel about end-game gear only being useful for 3 months?

Put another way, just answer the following:
How would you feel about "end-game" gear being replaced every 3 months or so via new raid/s or other end-game activities?

If this were to come true it would be time for me to quit the game.

FFXI did it right - we had content that lasted years (not that everything should last years, but a year would be nice at least >.>), and many different things to do. I need long term goals.. Long term things to work towards.

In XI (before Abyssea took over), I could log on every day and always have something to work towards/do.
On XIV if things are just basically replaced every 3 months I'd have no motivation to do anything. If I did go and finish the new content... well, then what? End subscription for 3 months? lol

Not to mention, always jumping into new areas/instances(?) I'll forget about the old ones fast. I have lasting memories from Dynamis and Limbus and such of years worth of content - years worth of adventures with people. If I'm doing something new every 3 months and then never going back to said content, I'm not likely to remember much of it. :<

I dunno, just doesn't sound like a good idea for them (and doesn't sound very fun). They'd be getting either less or no money of mine. I wonder how much they'd lose from others.

I just don't understand how anyone honestly thinks it's a good idea for the game.

There is no motivation to log in afterwards. And a game that charges monthly with no motivation for players to come back is only going to fail.

It's a game people pay for. Not the American Dream. Let's not as for changes that satisfy your epeen, but rather make the game enjoyable for more people.[/COLOR]

Ok so back to what I said which I guess you just don't want to hear.

What is the point in paying for the game if there is no motivation to continuously play?

No, I literally don't give a s*** about items, as I've said numerous times. Maybe you should take a moment to read what I say, instead of having a s*** fit and foaming at the mouth every time someone disagrees with your position. I care about having fresh content and people to do it with, not about competing against some people who don't even know I'm competing against them.

You, judging by the terminal case of butthurt I'm seeing, are basing your self worth on the rarity of the items that you have compared to other people in the game. You don't actually care about difficult content or a challenge or anything of the sort; if you did, you'd be glad that the devs are coming up with challenging content in a timely manner. You're literally mad because some people might get a chance to get the same items you have, after that content has already gone stale.

I would hope you don't care because you don't even play the game. LOL
