To those who loved FF11...

I just want FFXIV to stop throwing content away and give us engaging horizontal endgame already.

Create something like Sky, Dynamis and Limbus and give it all drops that are equal to the highest Ilv along with making it as challenging as the savage raids. All we need is fleshed out endgame events that are unique from eachother along with full loot tables with some unique substats to make all the gear worth going for.

The current process of putting content out every patch and throwing all the old stuff away doesn't help the game grow in any fashion. Instead, we could be getting a brand new large scale endgame event that is super cool and exciting and it won't make any of the other horizontal content worthless.

There's something to be said for Burn Out.

Doing the same junk day in, day out for years is not healthy for any game. There's a reason why people got bored of Sky, Sea, etc. They simply got tired of doing it. Cycling in fresh content is good.

That and "sidegrades" that you got from all of this content was the dumbest thing ever. Pieces of gear you'd swap in and out constantly. Do a WS? Swap out 8 pieces of your gear for 2 seconds then swap everything back in. It was just stupid and I'm glad that crap is gone. It made armor worthless, I just couldn't feel excited about, say a body armor that would make me do 2% more damage with my WS on average that I'd only wear 2 seconds out of every 30. Whoop-de-doo. That's not even worth wasting a slot in my inventory for.

And of course all the convoluted macros that you had to make, where you'd need 8-10 pieces of gear swapped, do the thing, then swap the 8-10 pieces of gear back. It got so bad that they had to introduce FOUR mog wardrobes JUST for being able to hold and equip armor. That's THREE HUNDRED AND SIXTY slots JUST for swap-in gear.

I'll take vertical progression over that retarded junk anyday.
