Lack of End Game Content

Here I am, still not done with my MSQ...............

Here I am, still not done with my MSQ...............

I watched every single cutscene and read every line and finished the MSQ on the Monday after shadowbringers early launched.

So the not even done with MSQ yet either means you are simply not doing the story, started the expansion late, or playing less then 8hrs a week. The game has plenty of content for the weekend warriors, it horribly lacks content for those playing the game daily for 3-5hrs.

As for Scott he cares about progression content, which is what a large amount of people focus on. Glamour, Mounts, Minions, Gold Saucer, Furniture, PvP, the whole blu class. To be honest those are side/filler content. Great to have but they have literally nothing to do with progression in the game. I wish they would link them somehow to progression would make the content more worth doing then just playing dress up the whole time. Game needs more progression content, and preferable something different then what we have now.

• Started playing during Early access
• Done all quests, watched all cutscenes, actually read the text
• Playing 3h a day

But yes, keep tossing around the insults simply because you can't find content to do.

That sure is an opinion.

I play the game every single day for between 6 and 8 hours (more on weekends and holidays), and have done for about two years. I still have plenty of things to do, and am yet to become bored by the vast array of content on offer.

Reducing everything you don't care about to 'filler content' diminishes it entirely. No wonder you are bored.

I'm not either but getting close, I just arrived in the last zone, and I played 40-45 hours a week since day 1 of early release.

On the other hand...

Botanist and Miner are 80 with all white scrip gear and HQ crafted(by me) items in other slots aside from offhand as my blacksmith is just 78..

Carpenter, Weaver, Alchemist, Goldsmith, Leatherworker are all 80, in all white scrip gear and HQ crafted(by me) items in other slots aside from some offhand as my blacksmith is just 78.

I leveled my armorer from 62 to 68 also.

I made over 30M Gil early on with gathering (highest I ever had prior to shadowbringer was 8M), which has luckily allowed me to upgrade my small house to a medium one.

I spent some time(not enough) to decorate my new medium house, it's still mostly empty except outside.

I have done all the side quest in all the zones so far.

I made sure to get all the Shared Fate to Rank 2 so I could get the faster mount speed.

I have leveled Scholar to 71, so my scholar retainer could hunt in new areas.

I made sure to send my retainers out as often I can, botanist and miner retainers are 79 now. My 2 Red Mage are 77, mostly due to me leveling slowly, they were often at max level because I wasn't leveling Red Mage and was busy with crafting/gathering.

I have leveled Dancer to 66 just from beast tribes quests in Stormblood.

For crafting, I haven't bought any mats, I go and gather everything myself.

I haven't touched Golden Saucer, Glamours, Hunts, Treasure Hunts, Decorating my house(damn I need to do that big time, can't wait) etc...since expansion came out, so can't wait to be able to get back to my regular routine of touching on everything a little bit each week.

I'm hoping to finish the MSQ next weekend. Then I can start gearing up the Red Mage, and the way I play that will take a few weeks. Also can start leveling other jobs so I can do all the Role Quest.

Obviously this isn't End Game "progression" content, but it is content. And FF14 is more about offering a vast array of different options than catering to a single play style. I agree that there isn't much End Game progression content, but that isn't new. FF14 has always been like this, they follow a very strict content release template, one which has grown the game consistently over the years.

I still think SE should start investing more in the game as it's getting more popular, and offer more content for each play style, and yes I mean more End Game progression content. As I said before though, if SE doesn't invest more in the game, then any content which they decide to increase will come at the cost of something else and this is why everyone is upset with people asking for more content because they know SE is unlikely to invest more, so any extra content means less somewhere else.
