The Great FFXIV Exodus of 2024

[Nihility]

it's kind of the cycle of life for corporate run stuff

has something special that builds a following
higher ups take notice of popularity and get involved
slowly over time everything special gets replaced with the generic to aim for more mass appeal
people lose interest because everything has become so generic

[Hyperia]

How can cosmic exploration and beast master be "the usual mind numbing stuff" when we literally know nothing about either of them and the lessons they learned from previous iterations?

Cosmic is Ishguard Restoeation but on the moon. It’s crafter / gatherer content.

If BLU is any indication, BST will be a grind to 100 job and idle till next level increase unless it can be used for Moogle tomes.

Im still subscribed to the game but ONLY for the ultimate, i dont care about the game anymore, its going to shit, devs dont care and people still support this dumpster fire of a game, story is bad, dungeons are still boring etc.

everything the devs say is just lip service, they don't actually mean any of it, remember when they said theyre not gonna homogenize the jobs further? yet look what they did to DRG in 7.1 or how the devs said they gonna adjust PCT for FRU? well 7.1 dropped aaaaaand absolutely nothiiiiing, who coudlve thought? people need to wake up and stop defending this shit

after i have cleared the FRU im quitting the game and im not coming back, just too tired to try and support devs that dont give 2 shits about you, started playing WoW recently and enjoying it a lot

Players have been unhappy with any MMO I have played. This one isn't perfect, but seems better than most.

I am still climbing the ranks, so I don't see the end game issues, but I have plenty to do. I would also rather build in an MMO than in a game like the SIMS.

WoW will have the same problems you note (for you) almost certainly at some point.

No game can keep everything perfect.

[tsuchii]

don't really care
i just play when i want to
also, if only the ones that compete with housing quit, that would be great, theres still hundreds of bids in a single freaking small

It can't be a Great Exodus because I'm not going anywhere.

Dammit this post got me

Wow has its own problems. I made a thread here about it but it vanished. They made a horrible anniversary event and have horrible bugs. Portals would dump you to die in the ocean. Imagine dozens players swimming to shore after being dumped for shark food. Not to mention the greed of their online store when it comes to mounts.
That being said, surprisingly hunter has been very fun to play there. I have been making alts there of every job.

the best thing they can for this game is get the beastmaster job done and released. It would give players something to do and it's very fun collecting the pokemon. Collecting spirit beasts in wow has been very enjoyable.

People ain't leaving in mass because content is still good to great story might be trash & content still spread out thin but that content is still pretty great like for me I like XI but I personally wish XI was big more harder on Rabanastre level since we're already skipping/pushing past some mechanics unlike Rab which we weren't skipping dragons/towers/blue red faces later phases until 3 - 4 weeks later versus XI skipping mechanics week 2.

So many games, so little time.

No need to lock yourself down to one game.

Then don't ask for a subscription if you're not going to deliver updates/events often.

Remove it and then we can talk.
