Shadowbringers starting to feel like a budget expansion

[Catwho]

If your sole focus is only the battle aspect of this game, then Shadowbringers definitely may feel more shallow compared to earlier expansions.

But for the completionists - and by that I mean the people like me who looked at the Achievement log, saw there was a score, and saw just how much content this game tried to make available, it feels like I am never going to catch up! There is still so much I've barely scratched the surface of doing! I rotate in and out of what a current obsession is. Sometimes it's Big Fish. Sometimes it's Triple Triad. Sometimes it's old glamour weapons. Sometimes it's dog farming (I have had some seriously rotten luck in those fights.)

I am sorry OP and others feel like the game isn't offering enough of their favorite kind of content, or enough variety of it. I too get a little tired of hitting the same two Expert dungeons day in and day out. But the game as a whole is a giant never ending timesink, with so much content I don't think anyone on the planet has really "completed" it.

You know, this is a game, you suppose to play it. 2 simpistic dungeons gave me 60 minutes of gameplay, for example, now I got only 30 minutes of gameplay. Maybe they made something instead, that could bring me those 30 minutes of gameplay? No, there no such type of content that done that. Maybe they reworked their design behind dungeons and make this one more fun and engaging? And once again — no. So they just took that 30 minute of gameplay and give nothing instead.
Maybe if you don't want to play this game, its fine for you, but I do, so more gameplay means more time spend in game.

..........I play the game same as you. Maybe Moreso, who knows. I get more then 30 minutes of gameplay out of this MMO thats more then Running Dungeons.
There is a story, there is Site seeing, there is crafting which I need to do more of, challenging Trials. There is more to an MMO then running Dungeons. Maybe you should expand what you do in XIV if you feel like you lost 30 minutes of Playtime because 1 less dungeon.

Looking at your lodestone you have 3 roles at 80. Barely touched gather/craft.

And you need to look even deeper if you want to. I'm old fanished MMORPG guy, so I have classes that I feel like playing on this character, I can't see this Huyr doing feminine animations or wearing robes as WHM, so I have alot of alts, and one of them is crafter.
>most dungeons are run once for a clear
What if I want set from this dungeon? What if I better run 76 lvl dungeon, than doing sastasha for xxxx times. There are at least minions you can get in the dungeons (wish it was mounts instead with a very low drop chance)
If people dont want to do anything, what the point of creating something? This was a very old topic we had with someone on forum, that they should rethink about rewards and difficulty in the dungeons, but it was flooded with people, telling that changing something is wrong and they should go unsub and play abother games, topic was dead afterwards.

I get more then 30 minutes

Fella, we were talking about dungeons here, you were asking question about DUNGEONS, alo.
And yes someone might stand in limsa for 5 hours and be happy with it.

What does Standing in LImsa have to do with Gameplay?
Thats not playing the game Fella

(wish it was mounts instead with a very low drop chance)[/I].

I'll repeat myself.

But the fact of the matter is most dungeons are run once for a clear and then people run roulettes to level roles. Most people don't run those dungeons outside of roulettes once they get a clear so your premise that there will be a lot more to do just doesn't fly.

And if you have alts terrific welcome to my club.

It means that you doing whatever you want in the game has nothing to do with the question about why less dungeon are worse for the PVE gameplay.
Just say that you're mentor and this will be a culmination of this topic, highest point I ever seen on this forum, someone who actually asked the question and for answer just said, that he has something else to do.

30 minutes to finish a dungeon? Sounds like a terrible group lol

Following the trend we're seeing, in next expansion we'll get 10 minute dungeon with old recolored sets only as rewards, with no minion and same mechanics, but it will have big explosion in the middle of it, so it will be really cool to look once. Wait a second... We're half way to it.

If you're trying to be clever, you weren't.
