The current state of the "MMORPG" FFXIV is unsustainable. Here's why

[Shinkuno]

When you queue for a trial that requires all people who've gotten to the current end of the MSQ, late in the week when most people aren't running roulettes much because they've already capped tomes, then of course it's gonna take longer. Especially in the middle of the afternoon on a weekend, when people are likely to be out of the house running errands and doing other things.

And I've had it pop twice in roulette just this week, so it's not impossible. It's just unlikely.

Its 8 players, if the game cant find 8 players for CURRENT CONTENT, im sorry but then the game just failed in that regard

What are you even talking about, you can still queue up for current content and get people in (with not that long of a wait time, I may add). Are we just fibbing now for the sake of backing up our points?

Yes, at 7am in the morning on a weekend when people are sleeping, during the tail end of a patch. It's always been like this. Always.

That's the only reason that matter. No matter the content type or where you are in the patch cycle, death hours are death hours. Frontline will pop in less than 3min for most of the day, but even that will give you 30min+ queue if you queue during death hours.

The posters you're responding are ignoring that fact in every single one of their reply. We can safely conclude they're not conducting the discussion in good faith, not even trying.

Just now? You think?

You make wild assumptions and ignore facts in pretty much every post you make. Pot, meet kettle.

Ohhh, look like I got a fan.

In case you missed it, post #116 on this thread. I would call that fact, relevant fact to the current discussion.

I dont want to start accusing people of things I may not know, but my only backing of me calling this out is because I do actually play this game regularly....with 3 ENDGAME ALTS and I dont ever run into queuing issues for content I need. And even if I do, I just make a PF for it and happen to get like-minded people or folks whom want to do their good deed for the day. So these complaints feel more like lies to me.

I can queue up LFR in WoW at 2am and find 20 other people, and thats content people really much do once a week for gear.

All i hear is excuses for dead content

Tiny? What? Balmung was a raiding server nearly back then lol. A ton of people were doing coil. Most FCs had multiple raid groups.

Heres the thing thats important for you to understand, people were trying to raid, but werent raiders at all.

Even now, the amount of people that backlash over raid prep, getting gear outside raids, getting food buffs, potions and practicing their classes to fine tune it more is minimal, not only that people dont do anythign to their UIs to fine tune that either.

The amount of people that try to practice their jobs/classes and UI middle of raiding is way too much.

This is the issue, its the non raiders trying it, just because a lot of people who are non raiders did little to no raid prep was the biggest issue, its still an issue today.

Because they are. It's just in this case it's more blatant then usual. #112 posted a picture as the evidence of the content being dead by queuing in death-hour, and despite multiple response including a counter screenshot in #116. But despite that they still make their talking point presented by #112 despite all the contrary.

In a way it mirror perfectly the fake new culture in real life politic
