So has SE confirmed they don't want us playing the game?

[GenericMagus]

With the release of Pagos and how the only way to really get anywhere in it is to grind monsters till your hands fall off, and FATEs that take forever to spawn, so much grind content in one patch and with the release of the Rising and an instance that's never spawning, have they confirmed that they don't want us to even play the game?

Like I been here waiting for 8 hours in total and I still haven't even seen the Rising recruiter. I think SE is subtly pushing they don't want us here anymore. Great content SE 10/10, give whoever made this a promotion. Truly a great representation of 1.0 and possibly a second calamity. Will you release A Realm Re-Reborn next?

Perhaps it's a cross promotion with Blizzard. They just really, really want people to check out Battle for Azeroth.

To be honest, there is probably more people still playing Monster Hunter more than Battle for Azeroth in terms of cross-over appeal.

Well people who got bored of farming light in Pagos, will instead go farm azerite/rng loot in WoW.

I rather keep farming light lol (got my war main to 120 and quickly got fed up during the heroics farming process - unsubbed, again)

Oh, and about OP, odd since I didn't have any of the problems he's mentionning : even ran that rising instance twice in a row.
I was in a Pagos, and at 5 PM we had a server message saying the Rising event had started. I went there immediately after my Pagos run and npc was there.

Aye, got tired of that too, but does make you notice something over here.

Dungeons in ff14 are almost dead. The gear is rubbish. The tomes aren't necessary at the moment and other sources give far more. There's no other good loot or replay value. The relic has been moved away from dungeons entirely.

I can't remember the last time I ran a dungeon tbh. There's no reason to. Which is a shame, they can be fun and look amazing and are definitely more engaging than hit 2000 training dummies in a big field.

I feel the same. And I'm an Omni-crafter. Granted, I took a break from it this patch, but the fact I still have far more Creation than I know what to do with says a lot. If you aren't into crafting, Creation either is given to friends or sits at 2k. Say what you will about WoW's RNG system, however at least you're constantly working towards a goal and not waiting on a Tuesday reset.

A realm re-reborn?

Does that mean we're gonna have to go through all the previous limitations again?

Mother of god...

[Squigley]

A realm re-reborn?

Yet Another Realm Reborn.

We are all pirates in that one.

[TheGrimace]

Oh, totally. I've actually been playing tons of Monster Hunter World over the past month after getting a bad taste in my mouth from Pagos. But yeah, that still just kind of drives home that their content decisions recently have been turning people off to the game as a whole.

It does have the 1.x vibe
Never available, never working lol
It reminds me about the closing event.
