The Perfect Response to "Take a Break"

[tsuchii]

It's nothing like telling someone to calm down. It's a video game.

People take it too seriously. But all jokes aside, PLAY OTHER GAMES. The game has no shortage of content. You just pick what you want to do and ignore the others. It's okay to run out of stuff. There are patches to look forward to for new stuff.

Respectfully, I have been playing other games most of Endwalker. It is impossible for me to burn out of a game that I am not playing. But that doesn't seem to stop people from misunderstanding the nature of the situation.

That's simply an unfathomable thought for them. They cannot imagine that most players have already quit and no one is actually playing the game anymore

And you don't seem capable of logging into the game to see just how many players are active.

Especially now the patch notes are out. My Diadochos sales exploded today, I'm restocking all my mannequins.

My understanding is that the endeavour to attract new players is also starting to flounder, which would be entirely predictable. The early game experience just isn't fun, and the recent marketing tactics with those tutorial videos that came out a while back and the lack of anything interesting in the Dawntrail trailer doesn't make for a game people are excited to play.

It's normally a good idea to show off the party so people can have an idea of who the characters are, but if you showed me the Scions and told me they were my party I would just play something else. Y'shtola looking like a basic catgirl, Thancred and Urianger looking out of place, the sheer horror factor of cgi G'raha Tia, and then the twins. I struggle to come up with an instance in which a cast has turned me off this badly before, and I imagine people who haven't tried FFXIV in its current state feel similarly.

The characters people would often get excited for are ones like Emet etc. but without their presence there's not much draw to the game now that it has abandoned its setting and more compelling characters in favor of nothing.

The nature of the situation it's pretty clear really. You're, for some reason, proud to pay at least 15$ a month just to complain about a game you no longer play.

Are you trying to flex your disposable income or are you just so dense that you don't see how ridiculous that is?

Will you try to claim that you do it because you care about the game as if you're some sort of benevolent Samaritan who just truly wants to save the game? Or you'd realize how absolutely full of yourself you'd come off as if you did... unless you've already implied it and I've missed it...

In any case, people like you just annoy me to no end. Here I'm struggling to even pay for a sub to play a game that helps me relax because SE still hasn't localized the prices for subs where I live, while a spoiled loud mouth spends money on complaining. Life ain't fair, I know, but that doesn't mean I won't be annoyed by it.

He has in fact several times at one point almost daily posted stuff that reads exactly thar way. Yet when people in the past and sometimes even now have pointed how that comes off his defenders (normally those who agree with everything he posts. Cause they ignore, deny or won't comment on some of the more flavorful stuff) will tell people you shouldn't police complaints or judge how he writes cause he's just you know writing his like opinion, man. And even if you agree with parts of his posts or liked/enjoyed things about the game that he did then you should just want more of it especially in the way he wants it.

I am struggling to understand why, given your post, you are seemingly opposed to those of us who are vocal about wanting higher quality content and writing in this game. How I come across to you is irrelevant. Regardless of your opinion of me there is no excuse for FFXIV's state in Endwalker. You deserve a game that is worth every bit of your sub. I am content to leave this post at that.

Why am I not surprised...

Because you're not offered any sort of constructive cricitism, simply been throwing a tantrum about how you think everything's terrible and how awful the devs are, and yes, how you come across matters.

You're are literally paying for a sub just to throw a tantrum.

You know what I do when I (finally) realized I couldn't stomach playing WoW anymore? I left. Simple as. Money speaks.

Will blizzard change? Probably not. Will I care if they don't? Absolutely not, in fact, I expect that, because when you don't like something, normally, you just don't care anymore.

You come off as someone who just wants to be mad.

That's honestly the perfect response to this thread. People keep talking about how lackluster things are or say other games do other things better. Offer ideas of what exactly 'high-quality content' is to you. Chances are if its something that has never been in the game before, it might not ever be included, but this dev team does like to try new stuff in each expansion from time to time or try a different spin on old stuff as well. Offer ideas, not just say ambiguous stuff because that just comes off as being someone who's trying to get attention. Unless you have someone paying for you to post here, then you should be old enough to give SE money to keep posting here, so act 18+ and use words to form proper opinions that can be used to start a proper discussion.
