so why the devs never use 90% of the content for end game?

They already have that in XIV. There are several fate chains that take over settlements and lock out some vendors. On repeat. And the chains don't get done much.

There like 2 I think. And it's not close to what gw2 doing. In ff14 if you fail the fait there no bad ending. In gw2 the setelment now be in ruins or run by the monsters. In that time some of the npc or all won't be there.

There is something to be said for not having to wait for a fate to pop.. AND succeed at it.. to unlock a vendor who sells something you want, or in the case of GW2 a quick travel point is just unavailable until someone takes the settlement and completes the chain. Until the event of mounts in GW2 I HATED going to maps where stuff was contested since it would move spawns away from worldbosses or mean I had to go out of my way to find a salvage kit vendor or someone I could dump trash on.

Sure there's some fun in having an effect on a "live" world.. but after the 30th time you've taken back the frogger village so you can buy the ONE thing you need for crafting or whatever... it gets old.
