Lack of End Game Content

[PatronasCharm]

I do wish they'd have End Game "Activities." Don't like saying FFXI much, bc that's the past, but when I played FFXI (Different time, I know) I remember doing: Dynamis twice a week, Limbus, twice a week, Sky NMs (Hunts), all for cool unique gear. And that's what FFXIV lacks, cool LOOT to chase after.

I just believe the reason behind the so-called Lack of Endgame is because gear is literally the same, with just a slightly higher iLvl, and maybe an extra # of stats. I believe if the gear wasn't so repetitive, it would have way more end game content than it does.

Do I mind it? At times I appreciate it, I do bc it doesn't gate me behind "requirements," BUT, a part of me also misses it, because I'd love to see fun, unique Gear. That carrot to chase after. It's why I love Destiny... it's casual friendly, but there's always a gun or a piece I gear I hope to get from an engram, even though it's trash most of the time! But it doesn't stop me!

To me, end game is getting BIS gear, and sadly sometimes the BIS gear isn't even worth doing, so I do what I generally do; I wait for next update, and play the game for its amazing story.

The ffxi end game content you mentioned is exactly the type of content i am talking about. So many amazing memories....

This reminds me of a time when I used to play SWTOR and your choice of endgame dailies was as wide as the galaxy.

Literally.

You picked a planet, landed on it, did whatever daily/weekly of your choice. The completion netted you an assortment of loot and best part: reputation build-up for that planet. Work long enough and you'd get tiered reputation rewards (The Gree gears and mount was my fav).

Solid concept. Too bad the game went to hell.
