So anyone else tired of grinding tomes weekly for gear?

[Mycow8me]

I'm just tired of it. Seriously. Just not all that interested in savage for some reason. Ex primals are fun still though.

Miss Big Game Hunting with fc buddies... the same buddies that dont play anymore for the same reason.

Dont mind farming or grinding honestly. I really dont. The tomes are just getting old. Weekly caps getting old. Creating difficulty modes hard/ex/savage... its just old. Surely theres another way.

I will admitt upfront im an old ffxi player. I dont expect this game to stray from its course but when i look back on ffxi things like sky, dynamis, znm, hnm, sea,... etc... these were all creative farms and grinds. More often than not it wasnt even always about the reward or grind itself but about the teamwork and fun/experience towards the goal.

This isnt a quiting thread. Just wondering if im the only one. I dont know how much longer ill be playing at this rate. I like this game but at the same time every new tomes patch just feels like a burden.

I wish i could timetravel back to my ffxi days with mah buddies... good times...

Wait 3 months and it will be 100x easier.

[razielvh]

yup, I am as well.

Wait 3 months and it will be 100x easier.

I somehow doubt in 3 months we won't be grinding dungeons for 450 currency items per week.

Me and most the players that were in my guild are in the same boat. We are sick of the current endgame treadmill of the same thing over and over and over every 6 months.

I will say I am an old XI player as well and the lack of content variety that is relevant at once time drives me insane. I have never played a mmo more linear then this and that is not a good thing. more or less a choice between spam a hard 8man instance, grind dungeons mindlessly for tokens, or do primals. Primals are the only actual fun thing. Gathering and Crafting design is great but economy is vanity only which I could care less about.

Hunts and Diadem were a decent idea but done horribly. Hunts were in my opinion one of the better things they added in the open world.

I am getting close to being done with the game honestly, just sick of lack of content and the fact your work for the current content getting reset so often. That and most the people I knew all quit already so nothing really holding me here anymore. I do not see the game changing apparently there is a lot of people who enjoy this kind of progression model.

I actually just got into a discussion with a friend in game about this very thing when I told her i'm not getting any of the lore gear.

The Lore drop rate is small, and the weekly cap just drags it out.

Speaking of dragging it out, the fact that it takes SEVEN WEEKS to get one Lore weapon immediately turns me off from it.. As someone that plays (and gears) multiple classes, it would just take too long for me to even bother with it.

I feel bad for the few players out there that have every class at cap, and gear them all up.. it'll take 91 weeks to get every Lore weapon. That's over two years.

I know it'll be nerfed by then, but.. if that's the case, what's the point in delaying it so much anyway, besides forcing people to keep Midas relevant..

It's a very boring system, same with the red scripts for gathering/crafting...

I wouldn't mind if they lowered the amount you get from duties/activities and implemented more options for them while releasing the cap so we can do activities we like to farm the scripts.

I understand they need to get people subscribed continously whilst stalling updates but come on, we will stay subscribed if your content is being released good enough for us to remain subscribed
Who likes waiting 2-3 weeks for something they want to achieve whilst burning time doing nothing in between?

Lots of my friends play other games while waiting and quit in the interim due to other games being more fun than a simple gate waiting, log in chore type system

[Ashkendor]

Nah, I do various things to cap tomes instead of just grinding dungeons. It makes it less boring all around.

[Adire]

Lots of complaining, yet the same people complaining continue to subscribe and cap tomestones anyways.

So the amount of care necessary for this issue at the moment? 0.

I can't say I'm growing tired of thegame in the least. IIt's still a fun way to pass the time, three years after I picked it up.
