I guess it's time

I unsubbed as well, its just a waste of time. There is 0 dev response and no interaction. I don't think we will see any change until the subs drop entirely. Even then who knows.

How unfortunate because XIV has so much potential. But wanting more content, force pop items/NM/open world dungeons and worthwhile drops and stats is apparently asking too much and when asking for this we all apparently wear glasses. or rose tinted? whatever that means. Well anyway, too bad so sad...no change no response from devs so no sub from me anymore.

I'd kill for this.

The only reason I log in now is to spawn S ranks in my server. I don't know why I get a sense of enjoyment out of that. I don't even care about the rewards anymore.

It's not "I want Notorious Monsters in the game like FFXI" that's a problem. That's a perfectly fine suggestion, albeit it would probably make more sense as an addition to the Hunts system. It's that some of the suggestions don't work well in the context of FFXIV's gameplay. Just saying "Add Open World Dungeons!" is something that's more easily said than done, and it's not content everyone would be interested in...just like Raids, Golden Saucer content, dungeons and trials. Every piece of content attracts and interests different people. I think Diadem was an attempt to appease the "open world difficult exploration crowds" without negatively affecting basic travel around the world, but it is admittedly in need of a revamp. Fortunately, that's certainly a piece of content they can improve over time, and it's a sign that they're willing to experiment more, even if it's implementation was off. Plus, saying "Add new Stats" and "change how items work" isn't exactly a small suggestion. That is an extremely major change to a core component of the game. Any change like that would need to be carefully considered and even more carefully implemented, and would be far too reaching for a content patch. That's definitely expansion territory, where more major core changes to the game are reasonable. You'd have to wait and learn more about the expansion before expecting a major change like that. It's the same way with increased character-build customization, which is something I'd like to see in the future but I know would need to be carefully implemented in an expansion. For the Devs, keep in mind the language barrier that makes it hard for them to talk about this kind of thing, though I can certainly understand the desire for more interaction with the Developers. Something like the Fanfest might be better suited to asking direct questions. I'm sorry to hear you aren't enjoying FFXIV anymore, and I hope you enjoy whatever other games you choose to play.

I can totally understand the frustration. FFXIV isn't a perfect game, although I'm still enjoying it heavily. I actually overall like the Tomestone system, since it takes the RNG out if you want it to, although I'd be personally fine with the weekly limit being lessened or even outright removed. If people want to grind like mad, that's fine in my book. Right now I'm most looking forward to Deep Dungeon. It looks like it will incorporate a good amount of what people have been asking for (Randomized Dungeons and Bosses, Floor based traps and status effects, usable solo or in a party, and even later will get more difficult and hardcore). I'm most looking forward to it as a way to level up alternate jobs. Assuming the EXP isn't ridiculously low, it sounds like a really fun way to get EXP, even if it won't be the fastest.

Open world dungeons would be nice. Half the fun from a newbie player like me in XI going from one place to another was finding these nooks and crannies and caves that have impossible to gauge monsters and some really nice goodies in them.

Maybe if hypothetically these open dungeons came into XIV they don't have to be as big as the one's we have now but in them there's a few branching paths and dead ends and the gimmick of the dungeons is there's randomly spawning treasure or hard to beat monsters that drop Lore tomes (Or whatever tome later) or glamour items. Problem I can see arising is players learning the spawn times and just camping for them and it could stop players from running dungeons entirely if they knew this tough monster that randomly spawns in the day drops a ton of tomes for traversing the dungeon.

This seems a bit overly dramatic and its rare we'll get dev responses and the community reps have to be careful with what they say. They don't want to end up giving us false promises, SE are taking too many pages from Bioware's book in keeping everything a bit too close to their chest however.

I'd love for them to respond more, but they will be paying attention to all of this but its how much do they value their western audiences feedback is the main question.

Considering the size of the dev teams budget I'm amazed we get the stuff we do to begin with. Maybe when XV finally releases XIV might finally get a bit more wiggle room but we'll just have to see.

You're absolutely right and I just turned off auto renewal. There comes a point when problems just keep going unaddressed and unanswered. It feels like this dev team is hell bent on repeating the same old boring formula for end game progression and I think there are better end games to be had in other MMO's.

Thank you for such a good point, I think it was a bit of an eye opener for me. Why play a game where the questions and concerns addressed are more about glamour and inventory space rather than end game content and character progression.

This game slipped into boring stagnation mode and everything in the game feels like a cheap band-aid fix.

If you community reps are reading this, how about doing a developer blog on the state of the endgame and acknowledge our concerns of the end game rather than another blog on deep dungeons, content that has been previewed in how many live letters/events now? You guys waste time on cheap frills. We already get what deep dungeons are about, without the pointless dev blog. How about talk about information that needs discussing rather than some linear dungeon crawl with all the same monster we have already seen before. You don't need to tease the tacky glowing weapons, we can all imagine what a lvl 30 job weapon glowing looks like. Give us actual information on subjects we have been debating on for months rather than more this silly fluff content preview.

Its nice to see the wool has been lifted from someone elses eyes.
