This game is on a terrible state right now.

[kpxmanifesto]

I have played since 2.0 and many of my friends were from FF11 -> FF14 1.0, we have stuck with the game the entire time but this expansion cycle… it’s bad. Very long content droughts, patches that (besides savage and ultimate) that can literally be done in a single day… We are all worried, very worried. It feels like the game is in maintenance mode now and many of us are sadly, starting to think that the game has peaked and we are on the downhill slide.

If this game is SE’s most important game, it really does not feel like it anymore. None of us are excited for 6.4, instead we feel more of a very sad sense of apathy. By the time 7.0 arrives… I do not know if any of us will remain, and that, for me, is the saddest thing.

I feel like SE is really testing the playerbase to see how many of them will stay subbed even with a content drought. I don't think SE will ever let the game completely fail because it rakes in plenty of cash, and they'll keep the game just alive enough to make some money. Low sub count? Let's add some content. Sub count is high enough? Lets put in minimal effort.

They both are, so I fail to see the problem. (Although, you could argue that most people here are to some degree)

I support Trolling as long as its light-hearted and in good fun.
But not an outright attack or used to Metaphorically kick a Beehive to just upset people....like Titanman and his obvious Alts Posting.

Thanks for leaving out the Full Context.
But I understand, this is just easier. Less Effort, easy upvotes.

Ah well...moving on.

Long guide describing different builds or playstyles =/ hard buddy

Just giving benefit of the doubt here, but the fact that BLM is considered the "hardest" should tell you something when it comes to the other DPS jobs, I mean just look at current SMN or DNC compared to BLM lol

You know, this goes both ways, wherein people seem to have the perception that counter-criticisms and disagreements with said criticisms are as if they're a personal attack/insult.

Many people on the forum trying to play make belief as if they're somewhat 'above it' despite doing the self-same thing they're criticizing others for. Half of the people in this thread reap what they sow at this point.

I really don't see counter criticism. I generally see same tired excuses. Saying it is time or money isn't a counter. Everything takes time and money tell me something relevant. I never did Bozja, but I said maybe if it was tweaked I would be interested in doing it. Someone mentioned about farming some item. That because it was such a hassle it made them less likely to do Bozja. Talk about how adjusting old content would break the game. That is a counter argument. Instead I mostly see, the devs work too hard they already add so much, you can't ask for more ff14 can't afford a team to make more items. That is just (insert whatever you want here). When we called SE out for bad Stormblood launch/design general response, SE can't work on weekend to fix everyone being stuck don't play. That also isn't really a reasonable response. And it was such a simple mistake, you have X amount of instances you sold X expansions.



I am not calling you out. I don't think I have ever seen a post from you specifically. Just the side that thinks they are counter doesn't feel like that is what they are doing. They are just circling the wagons and aren't very helpful.

You say this as if the context actually changes anything.

This is an impressive lack of self-awareness.

The weirdest counter argument i see is 'the game does not need more, go play something else'.

Like, the people using this phrase don't even play half the content released, so what issue do they have with more content being added for those people that do play the game.

A question that I ask myself repeatedly. In any case, they seem to be the ones winning out given the state of the game and no signs of improvement on the horizon.

[Boblawblah]

Are you okay with time between patches doubling to account for the increase of content you like combined with the regular content already being released? Or are you saying you want them to switch doing what they're doing and focus on releasing content that you enjoy?

[Oldschoolegamer38]

No it wasn't like this in HW and SB. It's like you guys don't even remember doing content anymore.

no, they are only doing one part of the content which is raiding and they do not do anything else and then cry when there is nothing to do. They choose not to do anything else in the game, that is not a Dev issue that's a you issue more than anything else. Stop crying and do other content in the game...
