Can we finally get real content / gameplay?

Looking at the new media tour content released, it seems like exactly more of the same. Guess we'll have to wait until 7.0 or FFXVII to get expressive and interesting content, won't we? At least the music is neat. Shame we can't get the art, music, and scenario designer team onto a game that *is* willing to try making a different kind of content; I feel FFXIV, what with being made by one of the largest AAA game companies in Japan has a lot of potential for storytelling and setpieces in instances that it doesn't explore. Blame bad database/servers, I guess.

Heres the thing when I as a PLD can solo almost every dungeon post lvl 60 because of clemency and it not being hard at all. I mean I as a main tank feel insulted every time I log in and do roulettes. SO I stopped doing them at all I just cant its so god damn boring its insulting on such a high lvl to tanks. I mean unless its a leveling dungeon and even barely then you can not do any mitigation and still be fine mobs do so little dmg post ARR. The most times I have died is because one I wasent lvl 50 and 2 was because below lvl 50 some healers just dont pay attention because they are so used to watching Netflix at lvl 80 that they forget they have to esuna or use cure and dont got benediction or other quick heals lower lvl. Dont get me started on how now looking into endwalker they literally made PLD not just a Hyprid DPS/Tank were now a Hyprid DPS/Tank/Healer too so be prepared for dungeon to be even more braindead easy then they have ever been.

Just checked the Patchnotes and sadly yes.... we do get more of the same. There is nothing special, if anything the most stuff got even more irrelevant with the "average item level", "only boss XP" and ofc again 10 000 fates to grind for some gemstones on each map.
It´s so sad that the whole expansion has been so predictable thx to SE´s lazyness. Again just some good looking but loveless designed maps behind stupid grind to "keep the areas" alive. And wall to wall bang just to waste our time since adds and loot will become completely irrelevant. Maybe just spawn us at the endboss instead of wasting our time and developing ressources with such nonsense?!

It doesn´t go into my head, how SE throws any opportunities with this game out of the window and at the same time ppl are sooooo excited about the same grind and braindead content with nothing but new animations. Anything which i can be excited about is the story. The rest is just copy & paste anyway.
