People are all so bored of the game and playing BG3

[FenyxRising]

You would see this exact same thing happening even if everything you want changed for the game to be better in your opinion was done by SE. This and the player count arguement are so nonsensical. None of you would care about either if the game would be exactly to your taste.

Actually no, people enjoyed the game before and didn't treat the game's weeklies as a chore. So if the game was better, we would not be seeing this exact same thing.

If there actually was fun, engaging content and challenging content to do, people wouldnt have to go literally everywhere else to get that.

And even then people in your raid group would gush about BG3 and AC6. OP's post would apply just as well.

There is. Loads to do. But thats for each person to determine and find for themselves.

Imagine unironically acting like people attempting to spend as little time in the game as possible and spending said time gushing over other games isn’t a problem because “but it might be the same if the game was actually good”

Do y’all get paid to defend 14, I’m genuinely curious at this point

I think there is fun and engaging content in this game. But while sometimes I want to do roulettes and Bozja, other times I want to seduce fantasy bears or kill space insects with my dwarven mining crew, or poke a big knight 200 times in the butt while rolling around.

I don't enjoy exclusively playing just one game no matter how good it is.

It's pretty visible there is a massive hype for BG3 right now, most of the people I know actually switched from FFXIV fully to BG3, so it should say a lot about the current quality of FFXIV imo, if FFXIV was "as good" as people pretend it to be, people wouldnt leave now would they ?

Yes they would. BG3 is both a master piece and the new hot thing.

Genuinely thought you were smarter than this.

The game doesnt need defending. So people play other games? Big deal. I am playing Skyrim, NMS, I just got a copy of an older Soldier of Fortune and I plan to play that soon..FF 14 doesnt need us to log in every single day if we dont want to.

It doesnt mean a damned thing either way. Equating "issues in FF 14" being responsible for people not being in the game is utterly ludicrous.

I also play chess online which I find quite enjoyable...when I am not studying that is.

so it should say a lot about the current quality of FFXIV imo

It means nothing of the sort. That may be your cynical view, and is yours alone.

Damned post limits

You also claim that a big benefit of 14 is it doesn’t have FOMO why should you care if more content is released, you can do it in 5 years when you’ve played everything else anyway

Never said that. Ever. I said that that content will still be there for new players. Kindly do NOT misrepresent what I did not say.

That the whole problem with this “play other games” argument, if you genuinely believe that 14 can be entered and left at will based on the content level why is it a bad thing that those of us who like playing 14 want more content, it’s not like you can’t do said content just because you are playing NMS right now

The fact that FF 14 doesnt need you to be logged in every single day is one of its best features IMO.

I play lots of other games. i also study, read, play music, write when i get the time and deal with the daily tasks required as a bachelor.

Your point is?

[AlexiaD]

Yes they would. BG3 is both a master piece and the new hot thing.

Actually they are pretty smart, you just dont get the point, it goes right over your head, when a game is just good as a lot of people on this forum seem to pretend it is, people dont "rush" to go play something else, the point is that people just play this game at this point because they have to do their chores with their static or in PF because they dont want to be behind, and then they move on to other games because they are just more fun and of higher quality.

You also dont play anything remotely challenging in FFXIV, so yeah there's that.

So translation you are surprised I don’t agree with you as much as you think I did
