SB is great, but are there any plans to shake up the endgame formula?

[Avatre]

It's boring as sin, but quick exp for DPS. Maybe some people truly enjoy it, but I only suffered with it for the quick queues.

Some people use it because they refuse to do roulettes due to "PUGs sucking and not knowing the game"...or getting a few bad groups and swearing that all are the same. I prefer my roulettes over POTD because it gives way more EXP, and gear to help me more.

The formula works, for most so no real reason to change it.

[Morzy]

1) Gather
2) Enjoy gathering
3) Gather so much
4) Make lots of profits
5) Take over gathering markets
6) Rip crafters off because you can
7) Invest in lots of items with the gil you made to make more profit
8) Make enough gil to the point where you can completely disrupt markets
9) Transform into a giant sadist
10) Disrupt markets because you can and it makes you smile
11) Don't forget the 15k red script grind

World quests like WoW would be a nice addition.

WQ's are literally Fates except they give actual end-game benefits that has caused massive burnout for its player base just like it did here when we had to do Atma farming(nobody liked fates after that).

Don't worry, people will wing it for about 2 weeks and never return to it.
Because every other side show attraction fails in this game.
UNLESS, perhaps make it more community involved by making
where you have teams and you can cheer and watch them from the sidelines.
Now that would be pretty cool.

They did try new things and are usually trying to find content that sticks. Diadem was on of the first, but it was a disaster due to players always picking the most opt way instead of the sand box SE has in mind. Deep dungeon was the last successful content they had for heavensward and it did stick. They just need to update it to stormblood. I think it's just a gamble, sometimes they hit and sometimes they miss.

Diadem wasn't a disaster because players found out how to optimize. It flopped because it was nothing more than a thoughtless FATE grind with an RNG boss fight you could literally sit around doing nothing and still trigger. If SE wants players to enjoy their sand box, make better sand boxes.

SE needs to just get away form this "under thumb" crappy limited model they use now. You can play ALL the classes on a single toon, but you can only gear a single class out per month with raid gear, limited scripts means same for gather/crafting. Of which i refuse to do anymore cause mandatory cross class crafting. Want to be a master goldsmith, better learn to be a master chef too!

Sadly, after being in game on and off since arr launch (19 hour log in q's!) When my sub runs out in a month, I am not resubbing. If I want to no life the game cause I am on vacation, or the weather is too hot/cold to really go anywhere. That is MY choice. MY choice to spend it with in game friends. Not log in for one night, grind my gear tokens, and log out for the week. NOT when I am paying a sub for it.

Except you don't have to actually level anything except goldsmith if you want, you can buy the ingredients that you can't make. It encourages people to trade things/gil. Maybe there is a weaver that needs goldsmith materials. You can sell to him to buy the materials you need for goldsmithing.

This game is being extremely generous by allowing you to max out every crafter. Very few MMOs even let you do that. Crafting is beyond easy in this game.
