I am still enjoying this game and looking forward to 3.2

I still enjoy playing XIV. Though I do take breaks and play other MMOs to keep the one I'm currently investing my time and interest in from feeling like a job (ie, player burnout and I was experiencing it after 7 years of WoW and it's community). Luckily for me Diablo 3 season 5 and BnS are keeping my interest in XIV alive.

I love the game, I spend most my time in Limsa chatting with friends. Making Battlecraft gear for new players when I see them running around with half field craft stuff on. And got tons of other crafter classes I havnt gotten to 60 yet. FF14 has tons of content, most those Salty players are just number crunching raiders who cant appreciate the other content the game offers.

Such generalisation, very wow.

I'm technically a raider, but I do all kinds of content. I do chocobo racing, play triple triad, craft, gather, collect minions ... and at this point? I'm pretty bored. I spent all my time online yesterday crafting 500 HQ mythril ingots because I just didn't have anything else to do and it's work towards an achievement. I've done an anima weapon and have three anima bases.

The problem comes down to how fast content in this game becomes stale. I do like the Saucer attractions (except LoV which is boring) but I've done them all so many times by now it's hard to keep the excitement level the same. And yes, raiding sucks right now. The joys of being stuck on A3S with no tangible progression for 3 months.

I've noticed that the game is more empty generally lately. Queue times even for tanks on my server aren't so fast anymore, less people running around, less people online in my fc to run stuff with. This long, long season with nothing new to do (anima doesn't count as it was a rehash and the last patch's other content could be finished in maybe an hour excluding the DoA Lord of Verminion) has been very bad for the game, and it worries me. I do love this game, and I'm hoping 3.2 will turn things around because otherwise I think a lot of my friends are going to quit =(

Since it's your opinion, you can call them salty, including myself, much as you want.
I'm not sure you read my own thread or not on this forum, but I'm pretty sure I'm one of those ''salty'' people you talk about. Which is indeed fine. I do appreciate what they do, keep in mind.I will leave a quote I read earlier and I'm 99% sure this is true, because I did read this somewhere as well few months ago:

Since SE has no intention of making content last long, the way to play is to sub in the first month of patch then unsub until the next major patch. Any subscription time after that is to socialise.
I remember that in an interview, the question of playing other (online) games when there was nothing to do was brought up and Yoshi was asked for his opinion. He basically said yeah go do it.
This is their business model.

Calling people salty, because they disagree with you, or you don't like what certain players think about the game currently is, is all on you. I would NEVER tell a person to quit the game or just leave because I think the game isn't where it's supose to be at. This would only come from a person who sees players leave, then call them salty. I love the community, I love my fc, linkshell and friends, but that's not enough for me to sub extra 2 months, because all I will do is socialize. Yes i've done most of the stuff already as well. Wish you good luck in game
