FF14 devs just keep doing your thing because my god

[AutumnsHollow]

I feel like some of you have had terrible experiences and are super jaded because of that. I haven't played wow since early wrath but I got back into it for the shadowlands launch and enjoyed myself.

The community is nowhere near as bad as many claim it is, nor is it as uncasual friendly. I played very casually with a SO and we beat the normal raid in two weeks and we pushed up to 13 difficulty wise in mythic +.

Community wise I only got attacked twice. By a random tank in a heroic dungeon and a dps who was ignorant in normal raid. Most of the time people just don't talk, just like in 14. If you're friendly they usually reciprocate it. Just ignore trade chat since that's where most of the toxicity comes from or remove it entirely and it's never directed at you personally.

Just doing the normal raid every week gave us quite a bit of gear and conduits. Eventually we stopped and only did one mythic dungeon per week because of how lucrative the great vault system is. Just join a random person's mythic group and even if you don't time it you get a high item level piece. I could spend a lot less time doing weekly stuff than I do in FFXIV.

Their new "legendary" uses a much funner version of palace of the dead called torghast. You get a currency there weekly to buy the relic basically and inside you get orbs that actually changes how your character plays entirely. It scales difficulty depending on how many people are there so it's very easy to solo and it doesn't take a long time.

Blizzard literally stole that from 14 who ripped it from 11 and improved on it. I hope SE sees that and makes an even better one to one up them off in endwalker.

SE IMO needs an ego check and could stand to steal some systems from wow and learn how to improve some of their systems. Blizzard could also learn from SE. One thing I was very impressed by in general is the technology under the hood for skills in wow that made combat more seamless. I really wish SE could take some of that technology. Playing wow made me appreciate even more how sleek our UI is and how customizable it is.

I don't know why there's so much false information in this thread and hate. They're both just companies who want your money, not you. Neither are perfect and they both have a lot of flaws but they're also objectively both good games. Wow is not as grindy or toxic as people claim in it's current iteration. There's a lot of stuff to do for casual players like myself. 14 is nowhere near as perfect as some of you like to pretend it is.
