“Everything is amazing and no one is happy.”

I suspect it has something to do with upbringing too. I was raised to be thankful for what I had and to appreciate that I could very easily have far less. I don't think as many others had that experience.

I'll agree with that one. I love delayed gratification and when I try to explain it to others they look at me like they are seeing something so foreign they can't comprehend it. That said, if you are looking for instant gratification then why are you playing an MMO of all things?

There is a friend I cherish dearly in this game, that I now play with for hours every day. They are very patient with me and I am very patient with them. But they have a very "gogogo" mentality and I have a very "oh wow look at this skybox" mentality haha. If there is something painful that will save 1 second of time off of something, they are all for it. And I just don't care. They are the yin to my yang lol.

Instant gratification has been ingrained to those that grew up as a teenager/early 20s on social media/youtube/30sec vid clips of memes etc


They have larger addictions to dopamine hits than I did smoking cigarettes for 30 years

Endwalker was a blast for what it was, but I'm quite unhappy the end game is in the same "wispy fumes" state its been in since Realm Reborn launched.

On top of that, I'm still having the same issues I did back in Realm Reborn with party finder glitches and only being able to gear one job at a time.

Now we're pouring copious resources into tuning up ARR's MSQ of all things, trying to chase holdouts (who won't play any game with a chat box, give up) and are planning for massive data center expansion despite no content growth. I feel like Yoshi P genuinely thinks Emet Selch memes and bleeding WoW subs are a permanent avenue of growth.
