IS it just me... or is FFXIV boring?

[MicahZerrshia]

The game has record subs and has exceeded expansion expectations from a dollar perspective. I would say that suggests that many don't agree.

That's a whole lot of PR spin. pre-SB there were only 500-600k ish active subs worldwide. And that "record subs" and 6m number you see flying around is more total accounts than active subscriptions. It did hit higher than expected dollar wise, but that also includes the cash shop which now includes jump potions which are an RMT dream so that brings that up too.

All in all its a lot of PR spin in that to make the game sound more successful than it is. I know there are tons of people who already unsubbed after seeing that SB is just going to be a copy/paste of HW content-wise. So I would love actual current numbers or even numbers in 30 days.

If the numbers where true they wouldn't throw a number out without actual log-in and payment statistics to back it up like other companies provide. All you hear are executives and PR chatter, which is always on high spin.

According to you. What is your spin? The spin that the game is dying and boring. It's not. It might be for some but not for a lot of people. The game in case you haven't noticed is full of green leaves both in world an in dungeons and tons of returner icons. What gets old it the standard the game is boring threads here on this forum.

Sorry I would believe SE before you.

jump potions which are an RMT dream so that brings that up too.

Sigh.

RMTs do not buy jump potions. Contrary to popular belief, they are banned fairly regularly, thus spending $25-50 on a near weekly basis defeats the entire purpose. There's a reason you never see gil sellers in Foundation, Idllyshire, Rhalgar's Reach or Kugane. Or why Balmung and Gilgamesh never no RMTs whatever.

Why should RMT's use the potion? Not gonna happen...
