Positivity!

I see a lot of negativity on this forum for some reason. I do not understand it outside that "people come to the forums to vent and complain". I don't see how people think Endwalker is bad, let alone the story or gameplay.

Story is mostly a question of what one likes in a story. Some people enjoy (silly) Mary-Sue-style overpowered main characters easily defeating enemies, some enjoy dramas with a lot of the cast being personally involved, others like stories that parallel real scenarios... etc. Shadowbringers and Endwalker are clearly the brain child of someone else than what was the MSQ before. With all consequences. Endwalker was sold as finishing all that came before. It was very much in style of the new writer with no regards to what came before ShB. They seem to hate everything before. There are also objective qualities that are weak in the story. Some have been there since the beginning. For example in a lot of sidequests characters you don't know will tell you directly how they feel. No subtext. Just directly telling you. Stories for little children are often written that way.

I don't understand how the class mechanics are "2 min meta" / "bland, boring, and the same". As someone who came from WoW for 16 years, this game is superior in pretty much every way.

And i can probably create a much worse and more boring game than FFXIV. WoW being "bad" (or not) does not elevate FFXIV. These two games are not all games that exist.

I am trying to max all my jobs to 90, i'm so close! But doing all the roulettes every day, from beast tribe dailies, to the stadium crafting questlines, the fate farming, housing / decor, from the raiding content there is just so much to do. I can game for like 10 hours a day and barely have enough time to do everything i want in the first half of every week. Let alone even play other games to mitigate burn out. I still have achievements to hunt, mounts / collectibles to collect, relics i haven't even started. Sometimes I just feel like i'm drowning in content and it is glorious!

If there is so much to do why are you in danger of burnout? Because a lot is grindy and boring.

So anyways the only way I can think people aren't having fun or think there is nothing to do is because they have limited themselves in what they do inside the game. Maybe they are exclusively raiders and ignore the 80% of the other stuff in the game. But as someone who wants to do everything even the pvp I honestly think it will be impossible to collect al the collectibles, the achievements, and achieve everything the game has to offer.

I started leveling desynthesis and it's way too slow...

Is that about the "mad" people that aren't EW sheeps or about the WoW-Quitter-To-FFXIV-fans?
