This game is on a terrible state right now.

The ones that have been here for years and still say there is a ton of content, literally don't do half the content anyway, most of them have never touched a single raid, normal or savage, or taken part in trials outside of the MSQ.

I've been here for 8 years and have done savage raiding among other things. Still have plenty to do.

It's interesting that some years ago there was a trend about complaining how linear ffxiv is and how it lacks sandbox elements. The way I see it, players nowadays need a tour guide and a tactical torch to point them towards something they haven't done, or else they have no idea such content even exists. That's why bozja was somewhat popular. Go here, grind this rank thing, fight this, get this achievement, farm this drop, challenge yourself with this duel. All contained in one place like a theme park.

8 years "plenty to do"? What are you doing, achievement grinding lmao? Getting those 500k points in the Diadem for the mount? That sure is content that the majority of people want to do, that's why the majority of people just do it for fun, right? That's a lot of click on mount --> macro to nearest node --> repeat sort of content that people are looking for!

Were you really so impatient that you couldn't wait a couple of hours for me to respond and had to make something up in your head? No wonder I guess, people these days are drawn to 10 second clips for entertainment. MMOs require a longer attention span and if you lack that then no one can get you to have fun here.

Bro, Humanity has always been attention and entertainment starved. What are you even on?

That is the thing that drives humanity forward in this universe, and thank f*ck for that.

We INVENTED TELEVISION AND VIDEOS GAMES. YOU'RE GONNA SIT HERE AND SAY WE'RE DRAWN TO CONSTANT ENTERTAINMENT THESE DAYS?

YOU'RE ON A FORUM FOR A VIDEO GAME ABOUT ANIME WAIFUS THAT FLY TO OUTERSPACE BY THE POWER OF FRIENDSHIP.

YOU ARE CURRENTLY WATCHING PIXELS ON A SCREEN FLASH FASTER THAN YOU CAN COMPREHEND SO THAT YOU CAN FLY THAT IMAGINARY SPACE SHIP.

MY GRANDFATHERS DIED IN THE WAR SO THAT I COULD SIT HERE AND DO THIS SHIT



NOW FEED ME MORE CONTENT OR ELSE

I mean, was I wrong tho if you're not gonna answer me? It's not like raiding takes 8 years to do, and also you play a MMO bro, don't act like you're not here for the dopamine hits LMAO.

It was OK, but it came at the expense of it being some of the worst-designed relic systems we've had, the Resistance relics were designed with not an ounce of longevity in mind with the underlying content, being relegated to effectively the same treatment as Bozja wherein you're almost encouraged to use Discord etc., to even have a remotely pleasurable experience with the relic. Was OK on patch, but it very quickly started to show its colours and I can say had I not gone through the process of getting them all in the same expansion as their release then I would not be hard pressed going for them, and this is someone who is actually enticed by achievement points.

ARR I have mixed feelings for. If I were to be told it's the worst relic I'd be inclined to agree with some measure, but if they were to say it had no potential then I'd disagree vehemently. in fact, the books were a great system, they just need(ed) to have a system like Wondrous Tales, aside from that it had people doing almost anything and everything so it was difficult. Relics should be like that rather than FATE-farming simulators exclusively, which arguably Eureka was.

IMO, the game's biggest downfall (and SE's, by extension), is that they leave content to die. I think Resistance relics wouldn't be so badly designed had they planned to come back to the content; they don't, so here we (and Eureka relics too) are, never to return. Relics honestly just seemed design to fail, no matter what you do, because essentially the grind is gated behind content you need outside help for (Bozja, SB), the grind is tedious to point of nauseous (ARR, HW) or we're here at EW, where the steps so far is just.. play the game and you get the relic, so the sense of reward isn't really there. I actually think I would like SB/Bozja relics, but if and ONLY if, SE would actually give it the TLC it deserves.

I think they have potential, but I don't think SE can utilize the potential or have the desire to, so here we are. It's really sad because I think SE CAN make a good relic grind, but have just kinda thrown in the towel at this point.. at least IMO.

You were wrong, I'm not doing Diadem or achievements right now. If you wanted an answer you would have waited for one, but it's obvious you aren't looking for things to do in game. You're looking for ways to shit on the game and I'm not interested in helping you do that.

Lmao I already shit on the game a lot, you don't need to help me do that, and I already know you have 0 answer of having "plenty of content". It's not my fault that the answer you would've given me sucks, I already suggested things that would at least be reasonable within the "plenty to do in the game despite being at the endgame". That shit takes forever to do. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
