Why going back 10 years doing Korean Farming Content?

[Keramory]

The issue is no one, especially ffxi players asked for what we got in this content.

Open world exp parties is as far as you can make a comparison of ffxi to this content. They took the absolute shallowest aspect of this and made it a mind numbingly boring experience. Button mashing without thought endlessly without break. No ffxi player was secretly begging for how this turned out.

You could easily make a more friendly version to exp parties (hell for actual exp) that isn’t this dumb.

I don’t expect perfection. I’ve been playing since 1.0 and am pretty patient with them trying to get things right, but this is garbage and an insult to ffxi players if this is what the development team thinks of us.

Today's old MMORPG player are asking for what they liked before. Nostalgia, real fact that "was better before"? dont know, and dont care!

People asked so, for FFXI.
Yoshida gave FFXI... FFXI leveling... spamming trash, again and again, in a party, to get a big chain kill to have big XP.

But is it really what people asked? Did they asked more a Dynamis-like thing? probably...

Eureka is a leveling content in max level. You need to finish your leveling to do it
You need to be max lvl to be allow to do a leveling content...

I would prefer Yoshida watch on high level content from FFXI...

I also would like to point out that the nightmare of finding a party is back again - shouting for an invite like in 2004!!!
I can't believe it XD

Yeah, it is Nostalgia.
This is why old FF11 community tends to be more polite than other gaming community.
Your player/character reputation is very important in finding a party

This argument is becoming stale now. Some people like it? So what? Some people also liked 1.0 which was an objectively bad game. It was so objectively bad it flopped and did a number on SE financially. But I guess we should ignore those facts because some people played and liked it?

And lets not ignore the fact that this is the third time something like this has happened. Diadem 1 and 2 were both widely considered failures in game design. And both saw massive and rapid drop off in player participation. And both saw people like yourself trying to complain about the complainers with the defense that "Some people like it".

This is a pattern and has precedence, so stop trying to hand wave the problem away. You like it? Good for you. But most people don't and are rightfully making noise to let it be known shallow content like this isn't acceptable anymore.

Nice try I don't really like it though and in fact I was angry it was announced as it was, however while I can blame the devs I don't whitewash community responsabilities

Then request for FFXI.-like content was there but lo and behold it doesn't mesh well with the basic of FFXIV, well duh!

The majority of people asking for FFXI-like content are asking for content that was like FFXI's endgame. Not for level 10 Valkurm Dunes parties.

Personally Idc what ppl ask of FFXI with this game, I'd rather have FFXIV content not FFXI one.
Also don't speak for others, there have been ppl asking FFXI that like eureka for what it is, that means you are not one voice just like the ppl asking for classic servers on wow do not speak as one

Seems you have to ELI5 to them so they get the message. More FFXI content is pretty vague imo.

I actually enjoy the old style level grinding gameplay that Eureka has brought us. I started playing mmo's when Everquest was new back in 1999. Also played about 6 years on FFXI.

During the level grind parties in both games I met some great people that I keep in touch with still today. You would grind in an area long enough to make friends.

Today with the instanced parties that last 40 minutes, friendships have no time to develop. Doing dailies for gear seems to be the norm now.

Eureka gives us a chance to hang out with the FC for the night and get to know the other members in person instead of only in chat. Use it as a fun time to interact with each other in person.

This game is so fast paced, pushing people through content at break-neck speeds, it leaves us wanting after only a few weeks once new content is released. Eureka gives us a chance to relax and enjoy the view and "stop and smell the roses".

Just the way I take it.

And there are alot of folks that feel the same way - they probably just dont post on the forums - so using the word we when stating ones opinions is misleading - as Remedi stated

My FC has been loving Eureka so far. 800 more crystals until my +2

The lootbox rewards suck though.
