Bizarre burnout

[kaynide]

I get that you're supposed … but it does not feel organically fun.

I think this is a big issue across a lot of what FFXIV offers.

New ideas and twists are good…but sometimes they try to force the game engine to do something it isn’t meant to do.

Like, I’ll happily chug away in a survival game like Conan, Ark or Subnautica gathering wood or iron for an hour or so… but doing essentially the same thing in Island Sanctuary was absolutely awful. There is just something satisfying about wacking things nearby and getting loot, rather than [running past 6 palm trees because “those aren’t the ones you can harvest”, clicking to target and clicking again because you are sure this is the tree you wanna harvest…load animation annnnnd 1 log get!]
