Arthars: FFXIV should take a few hints from Dragonflight

[Midare]

Toxic positivity in action !

Lalafell has been hit with buzz words.

It was not effective.

The game ain't perfect, there's a lot of things I'm very critical of, but I don't constantly spam the forums because I decided to partake on whatever I criticize and then complain because "oh, woe is me, how dare you not taking responsibility for my own choices!"

I wasn't going to post in this thread as I don't want to encourage a forum of only reacting to content creator vidoes, but I will say this person has made their own opinions on a lot of occasions, and started a lot of discussions about a ton of topics. So despite occasionally being a little peeved with them, I need to be fair there lol.

Not often, from what I've seen as a fairly regular lurker around here.

And the times I did see them making their own point, it does boil down to them expecting the game to atone for their choice of staying.

However, I don't think listening at a streamer for opinions and advice is the best way to go in my humble opinion. You are your own judge when it comes down to opinions or advice and going for somebody who is only there for clicks, views and money is not the best avenue, they might have some good opinions or advice but sometimes they do that for generate more views for their channel.

For the record, you're being far more civil than I could.

I guess the whole "Acktually, this should be more like WoW" rubbed me the wrong way after being there for 10+ years and only realizing how bad things were over there once I finally took the leap because I'm as slow as a sedated turtle when it comes to realizing things like that.

As I said, there's plenty I'd like to see changed here, but nothing, ever, warrants taking a page from WoW's book, and certainly not when the whole thing can be solved by taking a break.

Yeah I played WoW and EQII from their launches till 2014 when I moved here full time and I feel the same. It's fine and rather a healthy idea if MMOs crib notes from each other, mix something up, and make their own version. And I certainly have things from other games I wouldn't mind seeing here. EQII (and EQ before it) had a shared bank system with alts. Do I need to see shared banking exactly? Nope, but some sort of trading system with your alts would be rather nice.

However, sometimes there is the air of "Just take what this game has and bring it here" instead of trying to appreciate what XIV might do differently and why and how that may work better for the playerbase or the design of the game. Especially when something gets proposed for this game that is something that may have made me leave another game. Like when I saw Eureka come out and it had experience loss on death, I thought "Did I time travel and I'm back in 1999 with hell levels and having to get a safety bubble into the next level before I can log for the night?".
