FF11 still has a rmt market when it has less than 100k players. Rmt will go to any mmo to make money regardless of the playerbase size.

I'm hoping Dawntrail shifts things back in a direction where they'll be more willing to take risks and provide more engaging long-term content but I honestly don't know. It just makes me sad to think about how much I used to be in love with this game and now I find myself logging in maybe once or twice a week for some pvp.

They will increase the sub price, make patches take even longer and you will like it !

My biggest issue with the relic is that is causality and not poetics

If it was poetics I could do content I really like... Bozja... for the relics. Instead the best way to do relics is with a level 90 class doing dailies and spamming aetherfront

Thats why I didn't bother even unlocking Manderville, so much for a "relic you can finish doing anything!" EXCEPT the content I really like or leveling other jobs

To be fair to Yoshi and co they have added some nice quality of life improvements that were definitely needed to the game. PvP has definitely been a plus of course and all. That being said there's been some shortcomings as well, the Variant Dungeons are good but they should have thrown the relic upgrade items into the loot pool so that you could farm them for repeatable for example. I was rather disappointed as well that they keep all the relics using the same 2nd tier tombstones throughout instead of assigning them to poetics so I could at least upgrade lower level relics as I work on the main one like in past patches. This has actually put me off repeating the old content even. I don't hate the game it just feels like somethings missing this time around compared to the previous expansions. Island Sancturary was OK to me but once your done upgrading I've little interest to go back to it. Then you have the disappointment with the healers too since Shadowbringers. All in all I don't hate the expansion, it does feel somewhat underwhelming of course but considering we know they're going a graphics overhaul of the game for 7.0 as well as the addition of Female Hrothgar (eventually) then it's likely development resources for these 2 have been getting diverted away from content in recent months because of this.

I'm only hoping with Dawntrails that we can get a new approach with content in the game because while having consistency is good the content as it is currently does begin to get stale and repetitive.
