Finally tried WoW

[Xelanar]

I'm just waiting for housing to drop or be in sight, before doing the same.

Recently I saw a video on YouTube where someone commented on a talk the lead developer of WoW gave. That dev? He talked about lots of things they did wrong with WoW. How the team always tried to build the same WoW-experience over and over again, streamlining and optimizing that experience, because it worked in the past so it will work in the future too. Well? That's not how it goes, and the only thing that leads to is staleness, players being treated as numbers on a spread sheet, and systems becoming what designers want instead of what players want.
Once they realized that, their game and design philisophy began to change. And it shows. The game is much much better now, and showing no signs of getting worse.


FFXIV is currently in that staleness phase, and I'll be looking forward to seeing how long it will take them to figure it out.

A lot of that talk was relevant to FFXIV. Whenever he talks about things, you can actually compare it to a similar (current or past) issue in FFXIV. Even down to things like inventory or spaghetti code issues. Internally, they've had pretty much all the same problems at one point or another.

It's almost like they swap problems and the problems inevitably come back over time like a boomerang.

what a great argument as to why/how FFXIV is better than wow lmao

"i dont like the game so you better not like it too, it sucks i tell you, how dare you have fun somewhere else ? You will keep doing your roulettes and get earrings from mogtome events and you will like it !"

It wasn't an argument. It was a statement of fact.

Play whatever you like.

Just saying we had Characters in wheelchairs before it was cool. Enjoy your hamster wheels, buying gold, and 90 dollar mounts, You will keep doing M+ and like it.

Aren't most of your posts whining about the state of the game?

Buddy - lmao shut up

Anyways like I said people can play whatever they like but even with DT being in its Meh state people making contrarian takes like WoW is somehow better in its current state is just wrong. M+ is about the only thing WoW has that's good but you can also just play PoE or something that has way better gameplay and systems instead.

Cool—personally I wouldn’t pay that much, but obviously some people will. That said, like I mentioned in another thread, WoW released 28 mounts with their expansion launch and even gives players a chance to earn former cash shop mounts just by playing the game. Like I said earlier pull your s*** together SE

Yep thank goodness we have no hamster wheels here!

btw new patch drops soon, be sure to save enough of your hard earned gold to buy crafted gear and enough materia to pentameld to get you started, since no one is obviously buying from those gold sellers that advertise constantly (no idea why they bother since no one here in this game ever buys gold), because the gear you just collected needs to be upgraded before doing the new stuff, and all the currency you have to buy savage gear from the previous patches and the upgrade items for other gear are now just as worthless as all that gear you spent so much time farming. So jump on your Lunar Whale in your best belted leather glam boys and get ready cause after the 24 man raid you are going to fate farm in this new zone and like it.

OP missed the part about the story and all those cinematic cutscenes. Here, let me fix that:
