How does FFXIV fare against other modern MMORPGs?

Not to mention that SE keeps trying to include FATEs to everything new they add. From the old relics, to the Diadem and Eureka. It seems like a very inexpensive way to add "content", but at the end of the day, it's just dozens of people hitting an XP/light/atma pinata with not much depth to it. Personally I'd prefer if they got rid of FATEs altogether, but that's just me.

No difference between "Kill X of Y to get Z to spawn" and "Kill X of Y to get Z FATE to spawn" other than it's marked on the map when it does spawn.

And again as I've said earlier in the thread, if you have time to type away to socialize in a game, then the game is just boringly slow.

And besides, this is 2018. There's a little thing called Discord. Wanna socialize? Make a Eureka Discord channel. Let everybody who wants to chat it up over voice.

I agree, which is why I think they should try to make the content a little more engaging than that. They create these beautiful areas and just fill them with FATEs because that's literally the only content they know how to do, whether it is in the overworld, the Diadem, Eureka, etc. After doing them for so long, I'm personally getting a bit tired of them.

And well, that's just your opinion. I'm just pointing out one of the reasons why Eureka's content misses the mark with XIV's gameplay. It's like mixing apples and oranges.
