The Great FFXIV Exodus of 2024

Ahhh back from a nice break to check out this patch and I see the doomposters are still at it. I kind of wish there was an exodus just to be rid of all the people who are apparently so miserable with the game.

IKR. On the upside, I am glad people have no real issues going on in their lives.

Be my guest. I'm happy that this thread and my posts provide some content for people because god knows the game itself doesn't, hahah.

Flattering yourself now, are you... I mean, might as well hehe

What an absolutely lame take. Did you ever think for one second that this game might have been a retreat from the real issues in their lives and that's maybe why they are bummed and upset by the direction of the game? That's arguably why most people play games, unless you still live in your mom's basement and pay no bills and have no responsibilities so you just can't relate.

Like I guess have fun man. I know my sub runs out tomorrow and it has already started to seem quieter in game, in my discord, in my FC, and in the forums, so all the toxically positive people who will religiously give their money to SE can have the place all to themselves like they all say they want. But in two or three years when the mobile game is popping off and the main game starts to shift direction towards those players, I hope I don't see the same kind of post coming from you.

I mean genuinely when did you go on break

If you went on break between 7.0 and 7.1 after doing all of 7.0’s content I’m not sure why you are excited about a dungeon and 2 hours of story and some combat beat tribes that actively don’t have combat in them and 1 EX

If you took a break from longer ago then you are basically using 7.0’s content itself such as the MSQ to hide the patch’s problems

It's more like trolling and some people make a game to their personality. That means sucess or failure counts for them to their life and for that reason such people even defend the most bs the devs can come up with. Maybe he/she is part of the "i want to win an argument on the internet" crowd. What i read until now from "Edwin" indicates "trolling".

Back to topic:
The game looses players. It is loosing paying players, free to play players are increasing as far i can tell. But those do not stay long and do not bring cash. We will see. SE had one of the worst years for a long time. The earnings report 2025 will do the trick. If enough money burns investors will start rattling the cage to get a course correction.
