Why is diadem a duty?

[IkaraGreydancer]

How will you punish me?

If we're so concerned about the bots that we have to design everything around no-fun, then they've won and SE lost. That's really not something we should be proud of when talking about feature requests.

Yes, I want more stuff that last longer than a single weekend. I've been subbed for 500+ weekends and maybe a handful of those have actually been engaging.

The solutions provided for Diadem were "Put on a podcast and grind", when at the very minimum maybe we could grind AND wait for a queue!? Woah, crazy concepts being thrown around here! lol

Punish? Are you ok?

And sorry but there's nothing fun about hacking away at a rock no matter where it is. A location change won't do anything to "fix" that. You take this "I'm not having fun therefore nothing is fun" stance like your word is the truth of the matter. Its not. You may deem something as boring while others find it fun. You're not special. Doesn't matter if you've played a million hours. You're a player just like us.

Sure we could grind and wait for a queue but if that's the only perk you can come up with sorry that's not worth the work they'd need to put in to transfer it to the overworld imo. That's time better spent on something else. But even so...I thought the game was boring? Also speaking of crazy concepts, here's one. If only a handful of all this time has been engaging to you maybe, JUST maybe...xiv isn't the game for you. Wild thinking ik ik lol

You don't tell ME when to stop playing the critically acclaimed MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV. With an expanded free trial which you can play through the entirety of A Realm Reborn and the award winning Heavensward expansion up to level 60 for free with no restrictions on playtime.

I mostly just crash markets, that's my enjoyment these days.

And yes, that's what we're talking about, how to make systems like Diadem better - I've given a massive amount of suggestions for all types of content, look through my post history. But the one that WE in this thread have suggested, at a bare minimum is to at least remove the Duty aspect of it, push it to Open World so we can enjoy our dull grindy experiences while waiting for other dull grindy experiences.

Sounds like it's been a lot more engaging than you're willing to admit if you've been subscribed for about 10 years.

Or you're remarkably ignorant, thinking that things will suddenly become different if you keep renewing your subscription over and over.

If you want to be gathering while waiting in queue, there are hundreds of crafting materials and collectable items waiting for you along with other achievements for doing those things. Then when you no longer want to wait in queue but still want to gather, you can go back into Diadem for those items and achievements.

Well it's definitely gotten less engaging over the years, that's for sure.

Players in Stormblood, waiting for NMs in Eureka: Takes too long, too grindy.
Players in Shadowbringers, not needing to wait for Skirmishes: Too quick, not grindy enough, done in a day content.

Developers can't seem to win here.

Seeing R041 beat their head against the wall that is the eternal fanboy is really sad. :^(

hmm. takes one to know one, I guess.

How does this even relate to Diadem?

Huh? Are you just posting for the sake of posting now? No need to be so upset m8! It's a video game forum, who cares? lmao
