I am getting a very interesting vibe about 6.0 ...

[Absurdity]

And, going by the developer's design decision to incentivize older veteran players to run FATEs in old zones and rerun old dungeons for Blue Mage spells and old alliance raids for relic weapons, it seems that the developers are focusing on the experience of new players.

Which is just as bad imo.



Trying to make the experience for new players decent is all fine and dandy (although I think that the low level experience is rather terrible due to the ability pruning over several years tbh) but unfortunately I have no interest in running the same old content again and again. I'm not buying an expansion to do the exact same content I did 2 expansions ago.

The fact that "veterans" get completely ignored in favor of getting their numbers up with new players doesn't exactly make me optimistic for the future, 6.0 will probably be the last chance I'm giving them.
Not necessarily a fan of using the term veteran here since even new players can quickly get bored out of their mind depending on how much time and effort they put into the game, having experienced the previous expansions simply gives you a slightly different perspective and something to draw comparisons to.

Maybe I'm the only one who feels that way, I'd like to think I'm not alone.
