Timeworn Maps Adjustments

With the Gameplay you could also argue none of this game is actually fun......None of it is particularly new or ground breaking.

MAKE IT FUN.

and no mimics of any kind...go home youre drunk...

In regards to rewards, adding aquapolis rewards would defeat the purpose of the dragonskins which we do alot since they have the biggest gil turnaround in gil simply earned. Keep the canals seperate, but add in a new reward or two. I have lost count how many Uldah orchestration rolls have dropped...Other than that, I love the maps. I think they are decently rewarding, not just in money/items, but time spent with friends/FC.

Content is what you make of it sometimes. If its that much of a drag for you, don't do them... (I know people will probably find this inflammatory but it's really not. Every game is what you make of it. )

This post is really well said. The best things about map, even better than all the rewards, is the fellowship and time spent with friends. It truly is community based and makes for some fun etertainment. The best friends are made through map parties If you don't like them, do some content you enjoy, cause everyone I have talked to about them loves the heck out of them. And yes, way too many 5k Uldah and Gridania scrolls dropping lately hahaha.

Oh, I'm well aware that nothing is new or ground breaking - it wasnt supposed to be. It was rather supposed to be something to be easly implemented because everything needed for it is already there.

I enjoy doing maps with my FC/friends aswell - oh, no, wait... we dont enjoy doing maps exactly because they're mainly dull and boring and not rewarding. All the fun we have with this content comes from our conversations on discord during it - coming up with new ways to "trigger" an open door (for a while we tried sacrificing lalafell - no insult intended, its just what we did... made one lala a tank and let him die the last second... or not, depeding on the mood of our healers)
And thats the problem here: we dont have that much fun with the content itself, because fighting one room filled with trash after the other one isnt fun. Specially not with how bad the rewards are...

Aquapolis has the better rewards, but going back there is annoying because of the level synch - removing that could help Aquapolis to be fun (again).

Right now I have to "work" to make this content somehow fun to me - and while I can often agree with the sentiment "dont like it, dont do it" I'm not sure if I can here. If the fun from this content comes mainly from spending time with your friends and not from doing the content itself, something isnt right. If you're saying yourself that your main reward is time spend with your FC/friends and not the content itself... when the content just becomes a stage, you might aswell ask "cant we do something to make the fun 50% content, 50% company?" A lot of fun I'm having with this game comes from the people I'm playing it with, no denying that - but if we do content just to spend time together, we might aswell all ask if we cant spend this time with something more fun. And the sad thing is: we all liked maps at somepoint, but with how dull they are and how bad the rewards are, we basically have to drag some people into them and distract everyone with conversations on discord so they wont notice that yes, we're fighting 16 sheeps again and are being rewarded with two ruby cotton yarns.

So... why cant we have both? Good content and time well spend with friends?
