Zepla: Endwalker is the Worst FFXIV Expansion I have played

[Jojoya]

Things changing in education and with the times is nothing new and is inevitable.

Exactly.

Not sure why anyone took offense at my use of the word "different". Different doesn't mean bad, inferior, or anything negative. It just means different.

Was it the comment about social media? In my experience, there is truth in it. Perhaps someone else's experience is different. Again, different. Not bad, not inferior. Just different.

If you can accept that others are different with different experiences, different opinions and different ways of doing things, it's fairly easy to get along.

Unfortunately, there are a handful of posters here that are all too happy to immediately attack others who are different or who don't share the same opinion instead of saying "I disagree" and moving on. Human nature being what it is, those attacked eventually respond in kind. We get these threads blowing up into 100+ pages of nothing constructive because people would rather engage in mudslinging than discussion.

To be fair jojoya generally holds opinions that I don’t agree with but is mostly respectful, but defending quite possibly the longest post I have ever seen of ren’s with “we are just smarter than you” was always going to be a recipe to get dogpilled

Which is not what I said at all. It's like people were looking for an excuse to get offended.

After most my points fit more into derailing, i present you my take ... that has almost nothing to do with Zepla's video...

What i miss is things to do for the hardcore players, even though i am not one of them. I see people in my FC taking breaks or quitting entirely because they have nothing to do. The other things are longer time between patches and the predictability.

If the next deep dungeon is just gonna be another PotD with another animal transformation than what is the point? They seem to get too save with all of these. Like running the checklist.

In contrast we have new stuff like IS and VD/CD. Little rewards and no (big) group content... meh.

I personally would love a creative mode. A dungeon creator or something. Just look at Minecraft, Little Big Planet and so on. The devs of those games made the individual elements while the players create their own game. I feel like something in this direction will be good for FFXIV, because:

• We don't need big rewards for a creative mode: the mode itself - like creating dungeons and running them or make your own village IS the reward, therefore no fomo
• It provides something different to MSQ or Raids etc that always need writers and events and gear you can get... so it hopefully needs less dev time in the long run
• It can expand the "themepark mmo" idea even more

Out of curiosity, what is bad about having nothing to do FFXIV? It means an opportunity to play a different game.

I've got friends that frequently bring up their backlog of games they want to get to. They appreciate being able to take a break from FFXIV to play those other games.

As for a creative mode, it's why I would love to see the housing system overhauled. We're pretty limited here compared to what some other games have offered.

When it comes to dungeons, I think that would be more complicated to accomplish here than in Minecraft and similar games (I'm familiar with dungeon creation in Trove). I'm not sure it could be pulled off in a way that would be satisficing for both creators and users.
