I'm not excited about the future patch at all. Just one dungeon?

During 2.0 and 2.1? Yes, actually.

Agreed on almost all these points. I miss having dungeons challenging enough to warrant talking to one's allies even when not particularly social. Granted, I don't think XIV's really accomplished that save in a two or three instances (pre-nerf Amdapor and especially Pharos Sirius come to mind), but still, I'd love to double down on that and other factors that make dungeons feel less like something we have to speedrun through. (And to be clear... I like speedrunning dungeons, if only because that's now the only way I won't be bored by them now.)

Simiarly, I've been trying to think up a way to provide that kind of various but deliberate goals to spice up normal content similar to what Anima books and Wonderous Tails did but going further, ideally into post-cap progression. I hope to have the idea readied by next week if I can avoid working too much overtime.

I don't Bot for one, 2 you obviously haven't crafted Max lvl then because you have to do Max lvl crafting manually, macros will ruin them, and What does turning off War Mode in main cities have to do with gathering Mats, stop making none answers.

also yes I did Mythic all tiers, I enjoy a challenge.

Edit: Without Warmode gathering was/is/will be a slog, the 10-30% buff was to good to not have War Mode on when gathering. To which again, people would PK, which again Made it an even bigger slog

All crafters at lvl 80, trade mentor and made several high-end crafter achievements. But thanks, keep going, you are making this fun.

I still dont know why you put WorldPvP while farming mats when the bonus doesnt apply then. I dont know man, if you are mythic raider im Napoleón Bonaparte.

Right, the retconned version to explain why we're allying with him again in Legion.

Because they definitely had that planned all along, and it was all well told within the game's story and not something people had to put together over time. Which is why Illidan was trying to destroy Shattrath because... reasons. And why Akama wanted to rebel against him.

Which is really all just to explain why his character got destroyed between TFT and BC in order to make him a raid boss because he has name recognition.

You are more than welcome. And thank you for your prove that you have zero idea about the lore you are trying to teach. Unlucky for you tho that im the one who actually knows and can explain it at the momment.

I'm not even sure I'm reading fFXIV anymore, since people lately seem so dead set of talking about other games. If someone think another game is better, nobody's stopping them from leaving and going to play that eh.

You are talking about childish when your main argument is: if you dont like dizzz dont talk about it or move oooon.

Snip.

I want to thank you for helping to clarify my point and for developing it instead of putting the troll sticker on me. You've done a lot better than me and you've been helpful because my use of language doesn't allow me to move as freely as you do.

Thank you.

-------------------------------------

And as it has been said here: I have never said that it is a better game. That's the fault of your childish vision that doesn't allow you to criticize a game or see how to improve it because that would make it imperfect.

Want to know a fun fact? 1.x got that right, too. If you wanted to obtain a specific key item for your Relic quest, you needed to clear a dungeon in a set amount of time, essentially "Speed run the dungeon" was an objective with additional and unique rewards. All of this sort of stuff just needed refining over the course of the games life, and SE could have made something really great. Instead it was cut away to streamline the experience into one that is ultimately worthless. The only value I see in dungeons these days is story/lore related. From a gameplay perspective they're garbage.

Perhaps none of this kind of stuff would have worked in 2.x, when the Duty Finder was barely operational, but these days? We have the Party Finder. Imagine seeing Party Finder groups for speed runs, exploration runs, and so on. One piece of content like dungeons could provide a whole variety of ways to play, and that would be amazing IMO. Instead we just have a dull trash > boss cycle that does nothing.
