FFXIV vs GW2

[Jin-]

Great game, but it never keeps me interested for long. But oh boy when it does its the best mmorpg ever till its not. Rinse and repeat this for years .

My biggest gripe is the role locked gear glam system. Yes we have that too in FFXIV but we also have so much variety. Good luck in GW2 trying to wear lighter gear than full plate playing as soldier role. Yes there is gem shop outfits but they suck and can't be modified. Like Lyse or Omega outfit

My history with the game would probably point towards me feeling like this as well. lol. I'll play for maybe a few months, then pop back to something for a bit, and repeat.

Although in the game's defense, I've always been a solo player and I feel like having people around can really help keep you interested in a game. I also don't do fractals, strike missions, or any of the big raid things which would also keep me tied to the game longer. And at times I'm a bit lost as to what to do, so there's that as well.

BUT I'M BACK FOR NOW!. Working on finishing up my masteries that I've ignored for too long, looking into finally starting to craft some ascended armor, trying to see if I can keep my Ele alive for more than 30 seconds in the new zones, all sorts of things to keep myself busy for a bit. ;p

I realize; I mentioned it twice. No disrespect meant here

This will be hit or miss; it's fine, but nothing Oscar-worthy. There is a glaring issue of missing story parts that are gradually being added back. Imagine if when FFXIV 3.0 launched, 2.x was no longer available to play. Just a text blob summarizing it and BOOM, new cast of characters. Everything else is good, but there is a gap in the story between the original game and 1st expansion. Again, it is gradually being added back in.

Not sure what I did read, my eyes can be very selective xD
