Playing an expansion as current content has been a lacklustre MMO experience

I don't know what up-to-date cosmetics is supposed to mean. We get new content regularly and it comes with more cosmetic goods. None of that stuff is ever "outdated". Even the content stays fresh as new people keep coming through. You go to x place for the one set of glam and that's it. They added DD to the ShB relic, so that's about as much addition as they'll get.

When you say themed aesthetics, my mind goes to the glowy weapons. Are we supposed to have hot flaming armor sets in orange and white?

SO my idea is essentially taking the theme of PoTD into mind, Tactics Orge, they can make more sets based around that, other MMOs do it all the time, and it can go a long way. HoH is shinto themed(?) make gear mounts and titles based around that, update it with new designs every so often. adding non retention based reasons to do old content is a good thing imo. And this is a way to do it, and cater to something players like, glam.

The trouble with that is they already have their hands full making new armor for so many other pieces of content. They don't have the time to double back for stuff like this. (Adding weapons for new jobs is the exception.) It's also very redundant. They gave us lots of asian themes in stormblood and we have tactics ogre themed gear. They recently a screenshot contest for it.

Just because other MMOs do something doesn't mean it will actually do anything here (and without any kind of example, I'm just going to dismiss this and move on.) People mainly run DD for the experience of that style of content.

I also feel like adding more rewards to previous content like that is a bad move because people will feel forced into running it again. It's one thing when it's an option for relic progression, but it's another when you think you were done running a duty like that many times over for all the original rewards. I'm slowly building up enough to get all the accessories I want from these two spots. I don't want to be forced to do more after that's all done.

You realize they do that already and I'm saying do the opposite and make shit thats there to do whenever that has no expiration date. I am literally saying add the opposite of FOMO.

How would you be forced to do content and get rewards completely optional, if they're completely optional? DO you feel forced to play PvP for the cosmetics there?

That's PvP. It's different there because the incentive is needed to help keep people going back for more. DD is there and never changing for those that want to do it. It also takes several hours to complete, where PvP is just 20 minutes a run. Your desire for more gear is satisfied every patch. DD has its set loot table. It doesn't need anything further.

What does that mean?

Stormblood's writing wasn't led by Ishikawa, so the stans get especially uptight about it.
