I guess it's time

The game has issues, not issues where the entire fundamentals of the game need to change. People are worked up over what is an general issue, but it is not a major one. Any fixes the game does need can be done within the context of the already established formula. It does in no way need a full revamp, that is just over the top and ridiculous.

It's more or less this. Some of the implementations need to work with the base foundation of the game, but that foundation is severely lacking when you look at the expansion. Diadem in all honesty would have been decent if it did anything resembeling an FC-activity and exploration, rather than farming on islands mindlessly. Everything in this expansion feels underutilized, and that underutilized comes from not making a good ground work to build upon (both combat and non-combat).

Aquapolis died? that's news to me.

I wouldn't say its dead but it is now on Grind/Farm-mode like EX Dungeons and Weeping City and while it is leagues above Diadem, it still isn't the fulfilling adventure we thought it would be (regardless of if it was designed for casual-play or not).

[MagiusNecros]

It certainly did for me and my FC and Linkshells. We are all sick of doing it for the same boring rewards. The gil is nice though but it is just so boring imho.

Almost 60 pages AND NOOO DEV REPLY

We aren't Japanese. And I doubt the mods and admins want to pool their resources to translate all the negative energy into the Japanese language. So we really have no voice.

Someone needs to copy and paste Beetle's post and translate it to JP and slap it on the JP forums.. Seriously, I think it's the only way we'll get answers.

I would agree with most of it but after thinking about it I think it would be extremely hard toget rid of the tome system with being best in slot and weekly caps. Main issue is its the main reason why people que up for duty finder and be matched with other players that need content done. You could add OP companions to dungeons but you have trials which are a different story. I would think it be the best way for players toget the next tier of gear for players to tackle the new primal & new 8 man dungeon designed as a raid. Please remember that the new stats/armor system I suggested wouldn't exactly mean all the gear from the tome set you would go after.
So for example some armor might have a piece that boosts skill that you might wanna always hold onto.

I did add more to it. Probably forgetting stuff that should be added/fixed.

Also gave some more thought about Hunts. You could Buy pop items to spawn Hunts with Allied Seals & Centro Seals. Adjustments would have to be done on all the hunts to be more fun and rewarding.
Please note this will be like Zeni NM system.

Unlock Hunt ranks
Hunt 1 Limsa= Buy pop item with like 100 allied seals, Pop item that spawns Dark Helmet.
Go out to where it normally spawns around the lv50 enemies.
Trade x
A larger & more harder version of Dark Helmet spawns. (Something like requires 5 il120 lv50 players to take down.)
Kill it.
Everyone gets like 5k gil + 30 poetics.
30% chance it drops a tank helmet "Dark Helmet" il125
Person that spawned the enemy gets a Dark Helmet Fragment in there keyitems.
Go back to Hunt NPC in limsa, talk and trade fragment. You been promoted to Rank 2 hunts.
Process repeats.

Sounds like you want a different game. /downvote

Forum is not just for those that agree. Letting SE know when we don't like suggested changes has value too. I don't offer suggestions because I think game is in a good place and does 't need any shakeups.

I dunno...When you have a thread with numerous people stating they're unsubbing...I don't think the game is in a good state. Not even this thread. The threads about the game's direction are appearing much more frequently in comparison to how they were months or a couple years ago. To say the game is "Perfect" right now falls under the saying, "Ignorance is bliss"

The amount of people who post on this forum is less than a tenth of the player base. We literally just had a loose poll a week or so back where the vast majority of respondents said they liked the game how it is, and that it only needs minor improvements to be where it should be. These threads are just echo chambers when you get down to it. Everyone who disagrees is bullied out.

That doesn't really change anything I've said.

People in polls as you said say the game requires "minor improvements". Which calls for the game not being perfect. Call it technicalities if you wish, but it is the truth. You can like the game if you wish and that's fine, but even they agree there are changes that need to be made. Whether minimal or drastic is subjective.
