Out of touch? PLL

[kinslayer-]

I like to collect costmetic and glams stuff from all the expac but DT has been disastrous to give me something cool to farm or invest time, and for the record:
*I'm 10/10/9 with the Al-Ikill (i had to sit HOURS farming the MDK fate) i could go 10/10/10 tonight if i wanted to.
*Don't care about trusts, i like to play with real people.
*Done with Eureka and BA, got Ozma, got elemental and fending sets +1, not a fan of the other sets looks.
*Level 25 in island, every gear set (i'm not sure what was the dificult on those) got the two bikes doing the riveting gameplay of clicking nodes.
*EW relics literally complete themselves by doing just roulettes every day, i just finished 8-9 by just doing roulettes.
*7.0 MSQ?, we better not talk about this one, it's pretty hard to take it seriously and by the look, it will be more of the same.

So the only thing left for me it's either complete a 4th ARR relic or farm EW mounts (not interested in those DT wings) while i wait for Field Operations, it's one of the few contents that make feel this game a mmo. And it's funny, lets say yes, you have all the cards, all the secret pets in IS, all spells/gatherers whatever, all the hunts mounts i can bet all my gil that your answer would be the ol' reliable "well, dude touch grass or unsub lmao".

And cheking people's lodestone profiles for a "gotcha" is very weird btw

I try to trust posts made in good faith. No need (or time) to go around checking lodestones. You actually play the content, so that makes a difference.

And don't get me wrong. I mentioned in another thread that as a costumer of 11 years, I wish patch cycles became shorter again. I don't expect to have infinite amounts of content, but I've started to feel the droughts. I think CUIII's responsibility is to make XIV the best it can be before they work on 5 other things. I just think saying there's not enough stuff or grinds to do makes no sense.

This might be stating the obvious but...

XIV being the best it can be is not their priority. Mind you I'm speaking strictly from a business sense.
Pokemon is the biggest and easiest example. The main games don't show half the effort some of the spinoffs showcase, and the investment put into the games isn't as big as the size of the IP makes it out to be. That's precisely because they make so much money by simply focusing on what they know is good enough for the average buyer. Minimizing effort for maximum profit, which these unpolished rubbish last couple generations' pokemon games generate tons of and have extremely long legs.

XIV isn't going to be a bigger priority than it is, because it's already generating more income than most other projects. Most big companies are risk-averse. Especially with the current state of the game industry. It doesn't matter how much we complain, XIV won't see significant change in direction, content cycle, or become the focus of more experienced staff again unless they start seeing the numbers really drop low.
