Thank you to YoshiP and the devs for the Rising

Who cares why they are here. They are paying players who like certain features. Who are you, someone who said you hate nearly all content except housing, to judge others?

We could have a talk about what made me join the game but I dont think it'd be very appropriate especially with the great 20 messages a day quota, if you truly think I originally joined FFXIV with the idea of doing housing, you are very wrong, Shadowlands was an absolute bore, and I joined FFXIV because I wanted to do content, not do housing, but sadly I was very let down by how bad the content is in FFXIV, it's just plain mediocre, jobs also have 0 uniqueness to them which doesnt help anything

But why don't you find a game that has content you want to do then? I am genuinely curious. You aren't forced to stay here in your house if you are so let down. Are there not other games that have content you prefer doing?

I'm not telling you to leave before you think that is the case, I am just wondering if you do spend time elsewhere or what keeps you here for just housing and being disappointed.

I get you very well, and I mentioned it a few times already on the forums, I play WoW for its content, and FFXIV for the social aspect and of course housing, I still dont think that disqualifies me from having an opinion on FFXIV's content though, considering I have tried it at all at this point

Both games have their flaws, and FFXIV's flaw is the absolutely mediocre content, while WoW has a lot less of a social aspect to the game.

I can like this, and it puts a lot into perspective. It sounds like WOW is doing some things very well content-wise. And I'm someone who has had stints in game for housing, so I get that too.

I also agree that you definitely should have a say on how you feel about XIV content, and I can see challenge-wise, job design wise, or encounter design wise why you see room for improvement. Having played a lot more challenging MMOs, I agree with you.

I am glad we can agree with each other, I am not here to be at war with people playing FFXIV, I have said many times I love FFXIV because of its housing system in particular and the social aspect of it, I just really think the content itself is boring, the jobs are also a massive letdown, they just arent... very fun ?

M+ would be an amazing idea that FFXIV could take from WoW, especially since IIRC Yoshi P said he took quite a few ideas from WoW, repeatable dungeons with affixes/difficulties would at least make it more fun, the problem is that the daily activities have 0 challenge in FFXIV, except if you want to repeat the same savage raids over and over and over and over again, or repeat the same few ultimates a million times, there just isnt enough that is challenging

I think my main issue is that a lot of the jobs feel...samey, if that makes sense? I do appreciate some of the spectacle for some classes visually, but what I'm actually doing doesn't feel super different between jobs of the same basic type.

And I know you mentioned the 2 minute meta in the past, which adds to this problem.

Probably out of my 20 posts, so I guess I have to bow out and let other people talk lol

Yeah I agree, the game is very visual aimed, yet the actual spells themselves sadly just arent very fun, as you mentioned they kind of are all the same, and yeah the 2 mins meta is just meh.

Also the daily posts quota is absolutely ridiculous, I have said this multiple times, I have never seen a video game forum that has a limit on daily posts, especially at only 20, you can barely have a conversation with a person with that many posts, and then you have to wait 24 hours, it's just ridiculous.
