Quitting ffxiv for good

Please check out the forums, though you might need to go back toward the beginning of this expansion to see how it was just absolutely filled with comments tearing apart the gameplay (and specifically the difficulty). Here's the link: https://www.bungie.net/en-us/Forums/...=0&d=0&lang=en I know it's difficult when you're in the position of not actually being familiar with the game, and so you poke around and find a few people's responses and start getting the impression they're the norm. Or perhaps try doing a search for "Neomuna" specifically (the zone where the difficulty increase was most pronounced) - I found these threads almost instantly: https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheG...parent_reason/ https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheG...regardless_of/ https://www.reddit.com/r/DestinyTheG...a_over_scaled/

Also, for clarification, the general difficulty progression for Destiny 2 is Normal --> Hero --> Legend --> Master --> Grandmaster, though different types of activities tend to only have some of those levels available, not all. So, despite being called "Legend," it's actually meant to be rather middle-of-the-road difficulty-wise.

Oh, the main point of the article I linked was about how Bungie had to lay off ~100 of its employees because of how many people have left and pre-orders came in a whopping 45% under expectation. As I said, it's different when you're trying to piece the puzzle together on the spot rather than having watched it being assembled, but the overwhelming consensus was that Bungie specifically catered to the critics and streamers this expansion...and killed the game for almost everyone else. Yes, the "content creators" will praise the gameplay - meanwhile the other 99% hated it and 2/3 of them quit.... (Edit: Yes, those numbers are hyperbole, don't take them literally. You get the point...)
