YOU CALL THIS A EVENT??

[Zeastria]

Ffxiv makes "a new story" every event,
while other mmos focus on gameplay over story
and replay the same event years after years..

FFXIV could stop with the story and go same path,
focus on gameplay and just replay the same events like other mmos... = save both money/time actually.

Yes because cutting the seasonal events 6 years ago back to this beige garbage has certainly got us more repeatable content

You are attempting to chose between A and B when square will give us neither then acting like people who ask for both are the problem

It was literally Jan 2022 when we got the new instance for All Saints Wake that got delayed because of the pandemic, which seems to be what ya'll think is the pinnacle of gameplay that is so sorely missing.

And again, I never said that. I want more content in the game, and I could complain about the lack of things getting put in the game, but that's not what this thread is about so I don't feel the need to air that out here, since the thread is about seasonal events which I think are fine as they are.

do you remember I think was 3-4 years ago we got a small special dungeon for the saint wake and I wished they would have build something from this but nope they scraped it the other year

Hmm a 10 min story or a week of gameplay for the event.. I go for gameplay.

They not are fine as they are.. They are complete trash. Stop supporting this crap.

I'd have this more rather than running event dungeons for RNG drops which I get only 1 chance per day, account wide, where event exclusive rare items have a ~1% chance for you to get it.

Here, I finish a quest series, get the event items and ... get to look around and enjoy the rest of the event on my own.

What "rest of the event"?? The strewn pumpkin decorations??

Why do they create new engaging event when they can cash your subscription for nothing?

I 100% disagree with you.

Almost no one wants an exorbitant RNG grindfest like you describe. People simply want to play the game and not just read a bit of text, that surely is not too much to ask?
Currently, there is no "rest of the event" after you have read through the questline. No fates to band together, no unique challenges to tackle with friends. You simply read a bunch of text by yourself.
