New island grind

[Colt47]

The problem with Island Sanctuary is that it is neither inspiring, nor absolutely hated, so it is kind of forgettable. I completely forgot about the Island Sanctuary and someone had to remind me there was a deep dungeon. x x

I'm pretty close to absolute hate for it, but engagement statistics aren't going to show that, because they keep putting things I want behind it so I have to do it on multiple characters.

Mount sucks and I've been selling the vouchers for gil, but they've been crashing pretty hard.

There's a new Island system?


That's my thought on it.

I'll stop being "edgy" when they provide something of actual worth.

Oh, no! A MMORPG has included rewards gated by long term grinds. How terrible.

looks at the complaints we've had because the relic weapons didn't feel like grinds this expansion

I doubt this mount is exciting enough to anyone to make them feel like they're "forced" to stay subbed to get it. It's more like an extra available for those who are staying subbed for other reasons. Those who don't want to stay subbed but want the mount can always buy it off the marketboard as others have said.

If it's purchasable on the MB, how is it locked behind a grind? It's not technically locked if not everyone is forced to do it to gain the item.
Relic weapons would be locked imo cause you can't just wander up to the MB and buy your completed relic.
The mount only requires one person to do it for others to get it.

Getting millions of gil is another form of grind. There's little "difficulty" involved but there is a time investment and grinds are about the time investment.

Using this as a way to try and shoehorn the argument of "Is it looking for another way to force people to stay subbed" isn't really a very strong thing to do.

You can literally buy it if you want, you can make the required Gil for this pretty quickly, and I think the price will also drop more once people have reached Rank 19 and got all of their workshops renovated., not to mention it is a completely optional reward and piece of content to engage in. If you want it, and don't want to engage in the system itself, then go grind and make the Gil for it, you can comfortably do this within 1-2 subscription windows. - Game. Literally. Throws. Gil. At. You.

On one hand, I’m glad it’s MB-able. On the other than, I’m disappointed it’s just another 10m of setting up weekly on top of the already unexciting 10m setup daily.

Based on the comments here, lootboxes seems more appealing than the hard vouchers. Where else does your mountain of gil can be spent on anyway..? Lol
