The Tragedy about Manderville vs Brilliant Relics

[Ath192]

Spot on. This game has become a dumpster fire handing everything out for nothing. Crafters were supposed to be the casual content and now its somehow better than actual combat grinds. Sad days.

This game has become a dumpster fire

So... I'm trying to make a real post about something that can be improved, but I sometimes get the feeling that some of you have never played an actual terrible game. Maybe you should go play Drake Of The 99 Dragons if you think XIV is a "dumpster fire" for real.

Hard to take you seriously when you phrase and frame your "contribution" like that... but you do you, I guess.

If the game weren't in a terribly dead state why are you investing a few hours in photoshopping a ton of pictures so the post looks entertaining when it could easily be done with words in less than 1/5 of the time? Could it be that you have nothing more interesting to do in game than photoshop cute pics?

Hmmmm.

Anyways, game would benefit from some fun midcore content. EW was a huge miss from the devs in regards to post endgame content people would actually find fun to play. Simple as that.

Because it's the kind of "agreement" that adds nothing to the discussion and just the same old "rant"?

Like, if I made a post saying "I think the game has this flaw and be better if they do this, what do you think?" to start a discussion. Then another person come over and reply "YEAH YEAH, YOU'RE SO RIGHT, THIS GAME SUCK SO FREAKING BAD! OMG IT'S DYING WHY WE'RE EVEN HERE!". Then yeah, I probably gonna tell that person to go pound sand as well, even if technically they agree with what I said.

Believe it or not, some people are more interested in having a proper discussion then seeking validation in an echo chamber. And reason why proper discussion is so hard to come across because people are more interested in beating a deadhorse.

First: They weren't trying to agree with me, they called the game a "dumpster fire" which I never said and has nothing to do with my thread.
Second: I didn't attack them, I simply called them out because... look above.
Third: Ath came back and simply commented about XIV requiring more Midcore content, to which I agreed and we just ended our interaction in peace and moved on.
Fourth: Whether you empathize or not is irrelevant to me. You're entitled to whatever personal opinion you may have about the relics. That's the point of a good discussion. Plenty of people have chimed in with a bunch of different points of view. Some agreed, some didn't. Most people in the thread have remained respectful, regardless of how opposite some takes have been, and I appreciate that. I've tried to do the same.

I know some people in these forums seem to love to antagonize each other, but I couldn't care less about that. I propose a thread, chime in (or don't), and hopefully we can share genuine takes that the devs may see instead of using hyperbolic language that doesn't really contribute anything. If you can vibe with that, cool. If not... I don't know what else to tell you.
