FF14 players are content with the slop because they barely play other games

The funny thing with this is...

I often actually see that the comparison is with MMOs.. But honestly with the way FFXIV runs its content pipeline for long-form, and with how anti-MMO some of the features are in FFXIV... You get just as about as good an MMO experience playing some traditional open-world single player games or general multiplayer games.

With XIV currently I feel like I am comparing it more to general gaming than what I am comparing it against MMOs specifically... Because the MMO-factor just doesn't feel good right now, and I don't think Shade's Triangle will fix that.

This game has all the annoyances of MMO design with none of the fun things about MMOs. If literally any other game released like this, it would be critically panned lmao
