    And some don't. If this was some optional zone where people want to go back to 1999 and do their thing, then fine. But they tied our relic to it. That's the biggest issue. We have no choice but to do content we hate.

    It's a relic. It's shouldn't be just handed over.

    Nobody is asking for it to just be handed over. They're asking for it to not be tied to content nobody would ever do otherwise because it's so badly designed and thoroughly unengaging.

    It is not badly designed at all, though. You just don't like it. Funny how a small part of the people (all on the forums) want content to 100% focus on them, aside from raid content. If it doesn't focus on them, it must be bad!

    I don't raid, so as a casual this is like the big piece of content that is supposed to be for me. Thus far I've found about three whole people, either in the game or on the forums, that actually think it's a good piece of content. Compare that to the swarming throng of people who dislike it. I'm glad you're getting a hit of nostalgia from it, but nostalgia isn't content and does absolutely nothing for those of us who weren't playing whatever other game you're nostalgia-tripping over. A game should focus on pleasing its players, not another game's players.

    I never played FFXI, and I am a player of FFXIV. I don't just post on the forums. Others don't normally speak up, when people actively choose to be bitter and angry.

    I deliberately didn't specify FFXI because the nostalgia source doesn't matter. You may think yourself a representative of some sort of silent majority, but you're not. All indication is that this has been very poorly received and people are forcing themselves to do it, but are not enjoying it. Personally, I'm not even bitter or angry. I just see a development blunder that should have never occurred. Subbing or not subbing is a very impersonal and dispassionate thing for me and always has been.

    It's a game. We should be mildly entertained at least.

    I mean, the devs could tie it to content that is actually fun and engaging. You know a game being fun and not a total chore.

    I find dungeons very boring, but I know a lot of other people like dungeons. That's why I don't demand that dungeons be very different. What you see as fun and engaging, others may not.
