Basic Competence

Just remember this is a Japanese game in heart and soul. Punishing people for "trying" or "doing their best" does not exist in Japan. It's all about positive reinforcement and having everyone participate and have fun. Also PVP is not their main focus and never will be. If anyone is into that, other games exist. I am not disagreeing with you but I am just saying how it is.

Funny that you say that. The PvP changes which we recieved in Endwanker completely outweight the PvE changes in terms of scale (since PvE wise, we are STILL in ShB), so you can even say, that Endwanker is FFXIVs first PvP Expansion.

Also, fun is subjective. Squeenix silly attempt at catering to everyone, will sooner or later result into another dumpster fire when they keep on continuing that Road. What they seem to have forgotten rather quickly, was listenung to their Community which seems to know their Game far better than they will ever do.

And next time, there wont be another Realm to be reborn into, especially when you consider how the Company keeps losing Money, IP and trust lately. If FFXVI flops, it will probably be a well deserved reality check for them.

Where is the dumpster fire exactly? Pvp? Pvp always sucked in this game and never was an issue before. They revamp their pvp and suddenly everyone becomes toxic.

Why would that be well deserved? And who are we talking here? SE or the FFXIV team?

After EW launch and 6.1, you really have no place to talk about money lost. XIV hit some major milestones with subscribers and clearly have more of the support they need. We've seen more than the usual amount of work put into this game, especially in this last patch and what they have planned going forward. You even make note of it yourself, so way to contradict.

PVE is lacking for updates? We're in a long process of continual adjustments and we definitely got some major ones. They finally got around to starting fresh on PvP. Yeah, it's gonna seem like a lot more... until you look at the big picture and not much has been happening for PvP.

How you can say PVE is still in ShB with jobs like SMN getting the changes it did is beyond me.
