Zepla: Endwalker is the Worst FFXIV Expansion I have played

[AlexiaD]

So anyway, now that the blonde catgirl can safely be ignored until she finds a way to dig up twitter and screech at her fellow catgirls, I have heard, in no uncertain terms, that Endwalker is the worst FFXIV Expansion that a certain twitch streamer has played to date.
Discuss.

The survey speaks for itself.

Muh mounts
Muh minions
Muh main aetheryte

that's it, that's the survey.

Then quit your subscription untill more content for you is there, like the ones seeking the game due to the expansions.

There is a reason to the numbers on servers go way up high and exceeds the limits due to every expansion release for those that seek content only, you only need to pay for the expansion and a month or two with the subscription of choice.

If you pay to get content, you should pay when it is there, and when the content for YOU, run out, unsubscribe, staying around complaining would make little sense, because it is fact that game developers can't keep up adding in new content, before the players complete the previous content.

But hey, that is your choice in the end?!?

The director even say, take a break play something else.. or something down those lines.

This is a subscription based game. You acknowledge that this is a subscription based game.

If every expansion were to have the same exact lackluster content longevity as Endwalker, we could all just wait until X.5 and get through all of it before the next expansion launch.

Now imagine everyone who was unhappy with the current expansion, waited to buy the expansion and subbed for several months then quit when the next expansion launched. How much profit do you think they would lose?

Now tell me. Is that something you would want to hinder the game's ability to improve? Because people like you completely ignore a dedicated part of the playerbase?

Yeah, but their biggest mistake was allowing the open-ended responses even without choosing. Just tear into their game in 500 characters or less. It's a reverse Renathras challenge.

I mean, that's exactly what happens. The vast majority of players resub 1-2 months before a new expansion, buy the new expansion, then play for 2 months before unsubbing and waiting for the next expansion.
Looking at the content too, aside from a foray zone being missing and V/C and IS being added, there is pretty much the same amount of content now as there was in previous expansions as well.

We're a broken record at this point.

It is not the amount of content, it is the implementation of Island Sanctuary, the lack of meaningful incentives for criterion, DD not being a good source of exp for leveling, and even if by deliberate design, the relic being a glorified tome weapon.

It comes back to it becuase there's whining about something that if you look at the data, is not any different than its been in the past. The only difference between endwalker and SHB in terms of patch content so far has really been they replaced the Bozja equivalent with V/C dungeons and Island Sanctuary.
Which is why going way back to my original post in this thread, I think it's a case of people just parroting the streamer's opinion that game is bad, especially since the video linked was formatted and presented in a clickbait way.

It just seems like it's an excuse to trot out the "toxic casualism" bogeyman these forums have used for years at this point, and point to that as why you're specifically not having fun in this game. It's the toxic casuals who are preventing this game from being good, because they, idk what. Shield SE from seeing criticism? Stay subbed even when you're not having fun? IDK.

I mean at this point I don't think you'll ever get the point we are trying to make here.

The content exists. There is literally no way to dispute that. The problem is there is no reason to do it unlike Bozja.

Bozja/Eureka at least has a playerbase, criterion doesn't because there's literally no reason to go back and do it. You could even just buy the mounts off the marketboard if you really wanted and could afford it.

Do the Coils

[Blossoming]

Do the Coils on level, I wont take a respond from soone who reply with a character listed august 2021 for anything valid.

Funny you mention these things because guess what, I did both. I created a Ren faire with a DnD system for jousting. Here’s your proof

I cleared all coils at minimum ilvl but what would you know as taking you at your own words towards other posters, “you’re only someone who started playing in 2016.”

So my opinion is automatically more valuable than yours right? This is what you implied wasn’t it?
