White Raven earring given out at The Rising event 2018

[Caitlyn]

Its not about that one tiny earring alone. Its just another point, where SE clearly aimed for new players, even those who stay only 2 months. But long time players, veterans, even legacy players getting even more disappointed the longer the game exists.

Yeah, its like those "the game was better back then" statements. Sure, many things became better. New classes, new race, new raids and mechanics. But some things are getting worse or nothing changed at all.

- Long time Veteran Rewards? Gone.
- Fun and challenging PvP? Simplified and dead.
- Deep Dungeon? Just a PotD-clone with nothing new.
- Relic Weapons? Dont get me started about this...
- Expert Roulette? Just big faceroll dungeons... Great "Expert" content (not).
- Things not possible due Server performance? Only possible if you pay for (retainers)
...

Certainly, making a big discussion about a itsy bitsy tiny earring may be overreacting. But its another (even small) example about the path FFXIV want to go. And I m afraid of it. There is so much potential in this game, but SE still working on to many wrong parts of the game.

- What about increasing slots for glamour?
- What about new character customization options?
- What about more content for advanced players (not only grind stuff)?

I better hope, 4.4 will be promising. Pagos and HH were disappointing (not because the features itself, but releasing it way to late).
