All The Doom Threads Are Strange To Me

[GoatOfWar]

It's a liveservice game with no long term content.
It's an mmo where people don't need to play together.
It's an rpg without rpg elements.
It uses a class based system but makes them all the same.
It provides some challenges but fails to deliver on rewards to incentivise anyone to do them.

XIV is just not a good game.
I honestly could go on for hours.
You can farm mounts but have nowhere to show them off.
You can farm better gear but it's only useful in the content you got it from.
You can get housing items but the housing system is terrible so most players don't even have one.

Nothing in this game matters or makes a difference.

sadly all this is extremely true and sums up some of the biggest problems ff14 has.

If that quote is as true as you claim why do you play the game? Why does that person play the game? I have been playing since 1.0 and like the op find things to do and enjoy in ffxiv every single day. If you are unhappy do something you enjoy. Stop spending your entire existence incessantly complaining about things you cannot change in life. You may actually find something you enjoy.

We're you the same person who literally sat here and said the Idea of this game changing actually scared you, I could have sworn that was the case?

that's a bad argument, people not leaving doesn't make those statements untrue. ff14 has many flaws but that doesn't mean that it also doesn't have good things, people can for 1 like those things and stick with the game for that, that doesn't make their complaints for the other stuff invalid. people also keep playing for the same reason people did with wow, because they invested a lot of time in this game for so long and have an emotional tie. i personally came with the wow exodus and because wow was so bad at that time and because ff14 was still new i had a lot of things to do and didn't feel the flaws, now i have nothing to do and this is actually my last patch. the main reason i played for all these patches tbh in ew was because of ocd "forcing" to complete all the relics but after seeing how they all look the same and not that good (in my eyes) i won't bother even with that. so i guess you're wrong either way xD

I honestly feel the same, and I think I'll go back to Everquest after this because at least there's content and a community that listens and gets decent QoL changes put in place. They don't scream bloody murder when you hint the game isn't perfect. Or blame everything on some nebulous form of the game from 15 years ago and how impossible it is to change anything. "Oh, well because 1.0 that's impossible and we should just accept to be miserable. I like giving my money to Squeenix so they can waste it on pointless GACHA games and titles they cancel in a week."

Etc etc "Don't let the door hit you on your way out." And "Well this game isn't for you clearly." < Great way to build a community folks, or even keep one going.
