Relic News - 6.45

[ForteNightshade]

You think "take a break" is saying the game can't get better? I think playing the game while it isn't fun for you is saying the game can't get better. Submit feedback or requests all you want. Maybe they'll see some of it and use it. But at the end of the day the loudest voice consumers have is their wallet. When Eureka and Bozja came out, I submitted negative feedback about them and stopped playing. I didn't renew my sub till there was something I wanted to do. I'm not going to pay money to play content I don't like. In what way is that a defense of the company or assuming the game can't get better?

Fun fact, you can't submit feedback or even most on this forum without a subscription. Therefore, you can't actually take a break and criticise the game.

What your line of reasoning fails to acknowledge is people posting actively want the game to improve. They want to play it yet have nothing to do because content has no longevity whatsoever. Case in point, when 6.3 dropped, I finished every major piece of content over the weekend. I then did take a break... and came back after well over a month to basically nothing. Deep Dungeon is fun and all but it can only carry a patch for so long. Ultimate was the only thing I didn't finish but that's a whole different type of content and not really relevant to the criticisms being levied at Endwalker. People shouldn't have to take 3-4 month long breaks because patch content is so dry it can hardly last a week much less twenty.

I'd rather a manderville quest then deal with all the busy work in that screen shot.

And you'd have still gotten that Manderville quest because there's no reason its even tied to the relic to begin with. They could have easily made up an excuse for Godbert to talk to you in Radz-at-Han without requiring all of Hildibrand to be completed. It's entirely tacked on purely to give the illustration of lengthily content when, in reality, the supposed "quest centric relic" is one five minute quest before you're off on your way to grind the same chore tomes you were already grinding to begin with. So aveyond actually oversold the relic "content" Endwalker offers with that image.
