Alienation of Dedicated and Skilled players

[Seraphix2407]

I thought they were saying if you're bored, might be time for a break. That is true of most games and not telling someone what to do.

Yes but most who do take a break never comes back. Keep in mind I raided with same guy for over 1 year and half and hes been in my fc for over 2 years. He quit the same day 3.3 patch notes comes out, said he might be back for 3.4 which I highly doubt, because it's the same thing all over again. From business perspective, they should also work on things to keep the remaining playerbase as well. I've had people who bought the game and hit max lvl then quit 1 week after because of how it is. You see, not everyone finds it amusing or fun sitting in limsa do emotes. Like the other guy wrote, 5% playerbase can beat certain content. I dont care if people wants to do roleplaying or simply use the game as a chat app, I respect them, however which I said many (can tell from people in here) kinda start attacking OP for having his opinion on end game. .So instead of saying op should quit or take a break, maybe put yourself in his shoes and try to understand? I know why people RP and I can somewhat understand, but RP for me was never a thing for me. I was excited when the japanese outfits came to NA market through amazon recently until many people just abused the system. Some people just seem to be selfish. Did many of those 5% (that some guy in here mentioned) whine about the gear coming out or not? Nope, because it wouldn't matter for them, why does it matter if square enix pulls more time into more end game content? You guys got your slice of the pizza, for once, stop being selfish. And even when most in the game wanted the buttler outfit many abused it, so GG. Ps I'm not saying you are one of those people, but I mentioned people from those 95% playerbase. So don't think this post is completely againt's you!

I do agree with constructive criticism though. Most people in customer related fields thrive on it since you gotta know what you are and aren't doing to make people satisfied.

I get you and I understand sometimes a break is good for some people, but keep in mind, the game has ran the same formula for nearly 4 years. Do you honestly many who come back from a ''break''? A few does, many doesn't. Do I honestly want to play this game when new expension comes out with the same formula? Nope. I've giving SE many chances and only sticking out because some of the latest patches was decent and I had my share of fun, however it is getting boring with the same formula. For you it might not make any difference, asuming you don't do end game so often (correct me if I'm wrong please!), doesn't mean it should be fine to keep this game end game free or suddenly turn into some e-wife simulator that some people already pretend it is.
