    It's ironic how people complained about SE making you do things yourself in XI (some push is nice yeah) much like people complained about XI's content lasting "too long", yet all content, with or with bad drop rates (only Salvage had bad drop rates) were long term goals, even Abyssea as casual as it is created a long term goal especially if you duo everything like my brother and his girlfriend does.

    Sadly, people say XIV should stray far away from XI in terms of creating long term goals and meaningful content. We don't even need "hard" content, just content that takes teamwork (i.e CoP era FFXI) or content that isn't designed for every whiny player that has only 2 hours a week to play an MMORPG, this is the problem. It's not a problem if you don't have much time (I certainly have less time than I did 12 years ago) but I have more than enough time to actually dedicate to long term content.

    Guildleves were supposed to be for those people while SE created real content for others who craved it but sadly they pushed this game out way before that was realized.

    No, we say it should stay away from XI in terms of adding in a bunch of time sinks to prolong what little content there is.

    Not even XI does that anymore. By the way kid, you can't "sound" like anything on the internet.

    And yet, you can't sound like anything over text to get the impression if someone is "mad", especially considering when I wrote it I was laughing at his immaturity over initially attacking me through signature lol.

    these same people will say that other games are awesome for having the same timesinks they hate in this game too which is funny as hell

    yes, games are timesinks, we need more, and more, and more, in the end all they are is timesinks

    if you think that content should come out quick enough to where you do it once and are done and more should then come out....go to console gaming its more for you

    I 100% completely agree with you. Plus usually the "casual" gamers that most of the content is geared to usually tend to jump ship from mmo to mmo more frequently.
