Time to Quit

[CStrife912]

It never ceases to amaze me how people that insist they hate the game continue paying for it, continue posting on the forums about it, and continue saying how bad it is and making threads to stir discontent in others/try to get other people as upset as they are/try to get validation for their discontent.

Pretty much lol in regards to the relic though we had that interview like a month or so ago where they actively said 6.45 relic would be tomes so it being exactly as said does not surprise me in the slightest. The only thing disappointing is variant grind, I’m wondering because they plan so much in advance it won’t be till 7.0/7.X where they make that content viable long term or keep adding to it. Maybe they won’t and it will be a shame but for people who know the game do understand they get feedback from the expansion as a whole to then plan 7.X patches around said feedback (well usually it’s like this)

For me personally I play the game enough to warrant a sub, I don’t think there is another mmo that can remotely absorb my time. ESO is beyond boring with its floaty combat and really shallow/short story. Blue protocol next year for global release but I’ve seen the Japanese playerbase already say there’s no endgame and it’s a pump and dump 2-4 weeks game. WoW is something that doesn’t click with me and I’ve tried multiple times over the years. So for now il play here and there and continue my backlog of titles

Yeah, same. I played WoW for years, but always kinda hated the art style and storytelling style ("Buy and read these three books about important in-game events that we won't actually portray in-game!". I like reading books, but why aren't MAJOR PLOT EVENTS portrayed in the game itself?!), and I finally just gave up at the end of Legion after taking most of Warlords off.

These other games either don't even appear interesting to me to begin with, I don't care for the art style of, I don't care for the combat of (Guild Wars 2, ESO), I don't care for the world of, or they burn out in a matter of weeks after launch (lookin' at you, New World!), or have a community shift to where it doesn't work with the game (I love old school games, so would love FFXI, except when I tried playing it a year or so ago, the prevailing responses I got were "Play with Trusts to level up, then come back and talk to us at level cap"; there's a somewhat similar case with LOTRO), and a lot are pay to win/paywall things. I'd rather have a sub than deal with GW2's 10,000 currency hell, much as I like the art style in that game (though don't care for the non-trinity gameplay and ARPG combat which is something else I generally dislike...)

FFXIV is the only one that I like the world, art style, combat, and lore of, and I find a lot to keep me busy.
