I guess it's time

TL;DR but I get the gist of it. Ive burnt out too for the same reasons.

Simple answer.

Remove the Tomestone caps, reduce the cost of items. Remove the lockouts. Everyone argues tooth and nail that without lock-outs content would be dead in two weeks. That is a blatant lie. All that it would do is encourage people to play different jobs, and play more, bettering the community as a whole (60 min wait times for tanks in levelling roulette? kthx).

Lets be realistic. They DO have the capability to release more content. Why not release two (actual raids) and more HORIZONTAL gear sets? Its still a grind but hey.. ITS A BIT MORE FUN.

Unfortunately, this isnt a game for hard-core MMO players. Its a game for casuals. Its a new generation of gamers who want instant gratification in everything and want to put in no effort.

This is why we, the few, get this homogenized hamster wheel of content. Sure we're getting things like deep dungeon but honestly, I dont have my hopes up. I had my hopes up for Diadem, it was a disaster, I had my hopes up for hunts, its a disaster.


Since Coil, I havent raided. I absolutely hate Alex. I hate normal mode raids. The only thing that interests me is Primals. I hate this "everyone is equal" crap... you dont need the best gear in the game if you're not raiding. I hate the hand holding. I hate how they encourage bad players to continue being bad. I hate that this game has the lowest skilled players of any MMORPG I have EVER played.

I hate that this game is "trying" to copy WoW but can't even get it right (At least WoW had weapons with special effects like Thunderfury, War Gliaves, Shadowmourne).

But other than that. Its a Final Fantasy game and its online, so I love it. I love the little references from all the other games, I love the graphics and unfortunately the glamour. I love the combat system and the rotations.



To boot, I hate that everything about this is presented and made as a casual game, yet if you miss a single roulette or a week of tomes you're completely f****d and behind every other person in the game indefinitely.

I hate "catch up" patches that turn your hard work into nothing. Making it pointless to have spent that insane amount of time to begin with.

I hate new gear being released every few months, making my efforts pointless. (Horizontal progression PLEASE)



Like... Its hard to admit. I absolutely HATED the level grind in FFXI but I mean... once you got there, it was worth it. From here, its a straight grind from 1-60-i240


Heres another point...

Why the HELL cant I solo Twintania? Like seriously. WHY? Oh right. Insta-kill mechanics... and... I take too much damage, cant put out enough or self heal enough.. Like half the fun of a new expansion is going and facerolling everything in the previous expansion and people are STILL DYING TO TWIN AND NAEL! Thats dead content save for a few glamours and money for crafters... but hey guys... lets wait 60mins in cue for crystal tower because we CANT undersize it. Kthxbai.

I mean.. come on. I can't even Faceroll wanderers palace solo. (Maybe as a WAR).

But guys... at least... we got materia. We got materia

We got materia slots to add materia with the same stats our gear already has, that has LOWER OVERALL STATS than previous gear that didnt have materia!

So like.. HEY GUYS I HURD U LIEK MATERIA SO WE TOOK STATS OFF UR GEAR SO U CAN SPEND GIL TO PUT STATS ON YUR GEAR

This is where your post lost all sense of credibility.

You don't get anything within this game without a monotonous grind, nor can you obtain any of the new content without having a moderate knowledge of your class and how to perform properly play within the games mechanics. Therefore you're entire post after the quote is completely gibberish at best, last time I checked games that are developed to allow players to win through purchasing micro transactions or through means that allow the player to have nearly unloseable odds. Neither of those elements are featured within 14, if anything players are leaving because they're tired of the monotony of the same format that SE refuses to change.
