Thoughts on what the game needs to do

based on the bolded comment

People who sell runs for ultimate are scum, for two reasons.

1. They are probably selling it for real world money. There isn't anything worthwhile for gil in this game beyond a certain point. Even if they wanted it, given that they are all advertising cross server makes it impossible, since converting that quantity of gil would take more items than AHs have for sale or people have inventory for and require the player to transfer his main over if just to do the trade.
2. They are probably logging in to the players account to do it, unless somehow people can reliably run ultimate with a 7 man and one on the floor.

Both are things RMT do, and I refuse to walk that back.

As for world firsters raid logging, that's what they do. That is not controversial in the slightest.

Sigh, as for failure it is, because ultimate is not going to save this game. Ultimate in the next patch does nothing if Eureka is the same old "90% of people stay afk in the fate train" stuff we got in this patch. It wont fix how half the roulettes are now pointless because eureka is more efficient to cap tomes and it took away motivation to get poetics and creation for capped players like past relics did.

It doesn't solve the fact we have nothing new to do in the open world that we didn't have at HW early patches. People liking to watch it is not going to keep them subbed, because you can just go to twitch and watch it while never opening the game. It gives a very small percentage of the playerbase something to do, and while thats ok for them, SE cannot base the future stream of content on this.

Their stated goal was to reduce content slightly to increase experimental content, but the way they are doing it is by releasing niche things that fail to really keep people into the game. That's how all the content I listed fails. PPl are focusing on ultimate, but all content is like this that they have released.

Let's go with an easy 2 words. Prove it.

Without undeniable proof, you're just spouting nonsense to SE. Also, what does it matter if they sell content for gil or dollars? You're just upset people can actually get paid clearing stuff while you struggle with easier encounters I feel.

Why would anyone sell the hardest fight in this game for a resource anyone can get more than enough of absurdly easily? Gil gates nothing in this game. The FCs that do this kind of stuff probably already have crafting wings that supply raid food and potions, if gil matters just being able to four star armor in this game means you can easily earn all you need. Gil is worthless in this game beyond the 20 mil you need for a mansion, because everything that matters or has status is gated behind playing. Nothing gil can buy you will ever give the status of having what that ultimate weapon means.

And you still have the issue of doing the hardest content in this game with seven people if you do it legit an the run seller is with you. Not savage, where it's possible; i didn't say ppl who sell those do so. Ultimate. Content that took the best guilds in this game 3 weeks compared to normal savage of one day to clear. So count me suspicious as hell.

Who ever said that Ultimate was supposed to save FFXIV? You're just making things up as you go along. And without proof on top of that. And now you're drawing a line between Eureka and Ultimate? Are you even seeing what you're typing right now?
