This game is on a terrible state right now.

I cannot fathom what sort of disaster awaits us in 7.0 as jobs get ruined further, we lose out on even more content in order for them to milk dollars from those who'd rather afk all day, and who could even say what becomes of the story - since everything related to that is so ardently defended without stopping to pause and consider the very reasonable critiques levied against base 6.0 and the patches.

Predictions for 7.0:
- The 1-2-3 combos become one button, gauges are removed and you just click things on cooldown, hitboxes are the size of the entire arena, tanks have mitigation automatically applied whenever there is a tankbuster, healers automatically let out massive pulses of healing after anyone takes damage.
- Anyone who dislikes anything about the current battle content is told to play ultimate, and each ultimate is more buggy and needlessly frustrating than the last.
- The MSQ is the only story content as the raid and alliance raid series are discontinued and the trial series is still missing.
- Dungeons become somehow even more linear and are literal straight hallways between each boss arena that is in the shape of a perfect circle.
- The MSQ story begins to teach us the ABCs.
- The main villain is defeated and converted to being a good guy by the power of friendship as rainbows shoot out of the WoL's eyes.
- Relic weapons are literally spit out of a vending machine on demand for free.
- Patches are now 8 months apart and give 15 minutes of content a piece.
- The same white knights will defend all of the above.

I actually wouldn't be surprised if they start making ability combos and everything more like PvP.

I hope they do. There's functionally zero difference between 123 and 111. People can claim "muh engagement" all they want but it's still 3 rotational button presses. They're always hit in the same order.

No, they rather rip out another 10 buttons so they can put them at level x5 and x0 in the next 5 expansion so the jobs have fewer and fewer buttons to press during leveling. We have roughly as many buttons now at 90 that we did have in ARR at 50, except spaced out over 90 levels instead of 50 so you spend 90% of your time pressing 2 GCDs and 2 oGCDS. They rather make leveling/synced content even more boring than consolidate the 1-2-3 combos because those give bad players the illusion of complexity. People that can be barely clear extremes unironically have the take of "spamming 1-2-3 takes more skill than 1-1-1"
