So anyone else tired of grinding tomes weekly for gear?

[Adire]

That's strange, considering I could not. It takes 14 days for it the kick in though.

In either case, it's still a great way to tell who is subbed and who isn't.

This just in, company pays attention to profit and in game numbers more than forum complaints. More at 7!

Damn right it does! Wait, isnt this game reborn? What was that 1.0 that everyone seems to have forgotten failed cause even the dev team decided they wanted to reboot cause they werent listening to their customers enough.

Im only one customer but i doubt im the only one who feels this way. This thread isnt a threat, its not a "change this or i quit"! Its an expressed opinion on the state of capping tomes and how it feels lately. I dont expect you to agree but tossing everyone aside whos unsure about their future with this game aint gonna get no where. The forums are the vocal majority. The average player will play till they quit without even saying why. Atleast im saying whats bothering me jeez.

Hunts and Diadem are both good idea but just don't really bad hunts should be spawned with pop items like ZNMs so we could do it with out FC and the drop the new tomestone gear/weapons and who ever is in your party are the only ones who can fight it or maybe like KS fights you where you teleport in to fight the boss for drops ether is better then what we have now and know more weekly lockouts it's dumb and pointless

[Bracken]

i'm eaxtly the same, but i still have 3 months sub left, log in about once per week for the time being to do cacpot on a saturday, i havent left the gold saucer in weeks, i decided to get black desert online and its feeding my craving for a mmo that FFXIV is lacking, sure i miss primal battles, but thats it, i can't be bothered doing my weekly chores in this game, and thats what it is, do your chores get your payment, maybe in 3 weeks you can get a nice coat.

i love the final fantasy series, have done since I was a teen. again FFXI player here too. from the 1.0 to whatever we're up to now, 3.2? the game has no imagination, its completley watered down husk of its original Idea, all its about is mounts and glamours, endgame is a myth that moves the goal post that little bit further from your sight giving you an illusion that you are progressing, how can a game that is 3 years on from 2.0 still have no content.

Each patch washes away a few earlier patches because the gear is no longer worth the code that was written into it. there are no hidden stats on armour or Field mobs that drop exclusive or rare items , Teleportation took the world and made it even smaller.

Chocobo's where the FF series token Mount. people where excited to see what they had done to them in each game, now they are thrown on the BBQ while people have flying turtles...

I'm old School final fantasy i know, and SE are looking to the future players. they just need to remember we're the ones that paved the stones for them to get where they are today.

I can't see myself coming back the the Relm Of Eorzea after my sub expires..... gonna miss my Roe

yeah, i havent been capping the lore tomes in favor of maxing all job. i figured having all classes at 60 is more permanent than the gears that will be outdated by end of summer anyway. once i got all job to 60, i will probably turn into free weekend players just to cacth up to the story and see if 4.0 is worth buying

[MilesSaintboroguh]

I guess I'm not bored yet since I only focus on one job to cap for tomes while I use the few other jobs I play as for catch up gear (alexander for now) on my own time. I taken this time to actually clear the EX primals from 2.0 that I ignored and I even tried out Botany. I can see how people can get bored quite easily if they're doing everything at once and I hope there will be other ways to earn tomestones. The use of materia in tomestone gear lets me customize how I want my stats to be so I kind of have fun planning that.

[Judah_Brandt]

There are alternatives to tomestones gear if you're willing to put in the effort. Crafting and Midas gear is i220. The Anima weapon will provide an alternative to the tomestones weapon. If you're truly ambitious, you could do the Savage content for pages and get i240 gear that way. In no way is it really required for you to absolutely have your Lore gear to enter the content we have now, and going about it casually they practically throw the tomestones at you if you bother to run just about anything. Finding a flaw with a system that gives you something to work towards seems nonsensical, especially considering that is what MMOs are predicated upon.

[Zari]

Im not really tired of it and still am enjoying myself.

It is less that and more that they do need to add a bit more to endgame

Well said.. I don't think we'll ever see the likes of FFXI again in an mmo, let alone FFXIV.. Without the challenge there is no reward, and there is no point to get the little amount of things we do have to work for..

[Keramory]

I agree with OP so hard. I've tried so hard to get into this game again and again but... The same thing over and over again is driving me insane.

I am... Gasp... An ffxi player too, and it had many... Many flaws. However I will say one thing it didn't have a problem with (until the last few years anyway) is its older content stayed STRONG for very long periods of time. In this game with every update everything else just drops off entirely.

I blame the silly ilvl gear system. It went too far. Now ilvl is about x4 of our actual level. Wtf is that?

And it's so strange that we have plenty of older stuff from 1.0 that we could add in. The time dungeons for example... Yeah we're annoying when they were our ONLY option, but now it would be a welcome change of pace.
