    Personally don't really like big grinds, at least especially due to the game being linear progression, and don't really feel there is a lot of content missing just some less ideal initial loop structures.. also feeling a lot of players are losing the mysticism due to age with game and that roleplay mysticism has been one of FFXIV's challenges. Really good at consistent structure and imo I appreciate a lot more of the friendly systems mechanically, like rolling mountain is done well here in comparison to say WoW..

    I'm thinking that's compounding harder than normal right now. Few ideas on what to do spread into other threads but just my quick imo. As off-putting as some might find it taking breaks has made a lot of that no issue for me, but I could imagine a lot of the things I like being paired with adjustments without it being ruined. So.. not the only thing that can be said .

    "But but but WoW bad!" will never be as good of an argument as you guys think it is.

    A good reason to that, is thats not even the Argument.

    Nah you don't understand - if you make a vague comment comparing 1 thing to another e.g.,

    like rolling mountain is done well here in comparison to say WoW..
    Then it indicates that your sole argument is XIV good, WoW bad. Honestly, at this point some people aren't even reading what they write before posting.

    [Edit] - If it isn't clear, I am making reference to their perception of what Shougun was saying and how woefully detracted from reality it is.

    .... you say one thing is good, rolling mountain for example, over a other, and that's what you get out of it? "WoW bad, FFXIV good"?

    Some awful assuming you got there. Write my posts for me. Wow..

    I'm one of the few during the fever dream of FFXIV relaunch that pointed out good things WoW did/does (as I still do).

    Well, I was being sarcastic with respect to it.

    What they've done is effectively no different from when some posters say "Because you make 1 criticism of XIV, you must therefore hate the entire product" (I mean there are levels to it) - But hey, their perception was not as clever as they thought it was. Just don't know why they were so eager to strip any nuance from your post.

    Honestly, I barely even want to write my own posts half of the time - Let alone go beyond that

    Ah lol. Well I can agree it's frustrating and I have seen what you say, just don't return the favor onto me lol.

    I don't mind the criticism nor that some people don't find taking a break as acceptable, that's fine, I never stop people from wanting more. Though maybe point out if what is being asked is really what they are asking. Like, do you mean quantity? Sounds like a quality argument. Etc.

    Feedback good, my one mantra if I had one in the forums.

    WoW has some things I love and wish FFXIV witnessed. I also like refencing other games like GW2 for amazing movement in mounts or way better FATEs.

    Sorry for being a bit sharp but I was like... man.. you have no idea how much I was pushed against by others when I say WoW still has good ideas and then to get called a WoW hater and FFXIV fan boy, essentially, I was like... jackiechan-what the hell.jpg.

    You don't know me, clearly, I have frequently also mentioned things WoW does well. Don't lump if you won't pay attention.
