Why is diadem a duty?

Thing there is I never said to not complain in the general sense. More in the vein of having actually nothing to do. But ofc we've addressed that bit already so I'm not sure if that bit was directed at me or not. Old or not doesnt mean its bad. Thats up to the individual ofc. I only offered other spots to maybe help get that fix. I left PSO2NG cause there wasn't much to do that I was interested in in that same vein. May return one day. May not.

I personally can't call someone dishonest when it comes to that. I mean does that make me dishonest as I've only been around since mid SB? I believe people can be knowledgeable about things despite not having a vets play time. Sometimes it's a fresh perspective that's needed.
Also odd to call Island Dead when I see folks crowded in that area all the time. Plenty on my list are still actively going to theirs. BUT that can differ based on server, DC

I don't blame you for defending anyone, it's only right. It's maybe that we're just misunderstanding each other. Because my only concern is when someone posts with a clearly dishonest point of view to the one concerned and around the discussion as a whole - Being veterans of the franchise having nothing worthwhile to do at this stage. So telling me to go do POTD is borderline offensive. lol

They opt to ignore the player's actual concerns in turn of their own experience as a new player coming into an MMO at the 8-10 year mark where all of the old content is roughly runnable and designed to last you a long time, but the new content is not. They're neither engaging or long lasting. Yoshi-P hyped up Variant and Island Sanctuary to us for a year and a half*, and once they released we walked through them both in an average weekend with no reason to even repeat.

Edit: I don't think you are dishonest - But it's all too often that some players forget that we can actually see their Achievements and act like they know what they're talking about when we know it's from a skewed perspective. Like when they start in 2021 and we can see they boosted all classes, then tell me I still have content to do because I'm not 90 everything.

Well my intent isn't to insult or anything. As with many things people take things differently. I still haven't beaten potd fully myself. (Floor 183 is cursed I swear) so being tod about that content despite it being old doesn't bother me and is valid. I was coming more from a place where I've seen folks claim the game objectively has no content. It's just a limsa social simulator of sorts. So thats why I started with the more objective stance on that front.

As far as those 2 modes. I never felt that they were hyped up. In fact iirc he told people to temper their expectations. Many didn't and were disappointed due to not listening. I think both modes are fine as starting points to that content. I love the idea of both now I'm just wanting to see where it goes ya know? I still don't have IS fully done same for all the secrets in Variant. Criterion I haven't even touched yet. The moogle event had reminded me I need to get my pvp stuff done. I guess I don't have the same issues as you in part due to me spacing content out. No real right or wrong there ofc.

And thats fair. I just try to be open in that sense. I've never checked someone else's character here truth be told. I'm shocked no one has tried to call me out on it when talking about EW stuff as I'm all 80s on this one. (It's my old main lol)
