How to give people something to do

[Miradelle]

Square Enix should make doing content ACTUALLY rewarding. For example:

Clearing the last boss of savage should allow people to go to 8/9 on the wondrous tails book and still be able to shuffle, allowing them to roll for a gold certificate easier.

Extreme mounts that are not available for totems should move 100% faster than every other mount, until they become available on the vendor.

Lastly, people who clear a current expansion ultimate receive a priority ticket for bidding on a house. Allow them to take up 3-8 slots every time they bid, or something like that. Maybe even make a ward that only ultimate clearers can bid in. A ward dedicated entirely to gamers! How cool would it be to just hang out with your ultimate bros? Finally housing wards would have a real community, instead of never even seeing your neighbors, because your neighbors actually play the game. Maybe even make it unique from other cities, and create a hangout spot in the very middle where we can show off our ultimate weapons.


That would give people something to do, and encourage people to dip their toes into content that they are so scared of. Entirely optional, too, so you are not required to clear ultimates. It's just beneficial if you do.


That is all. o7

You know, sometimes it is good that SQEX doesn't listen to feedback... eh it's probably bait

If we're proposing insane ideas,

then I propose they reintroduce concealed nodes and make consumables and gear gated behind expert recipes with equivalent difficulty of the third step of resplendent tools when done on-content.

Make it cost the same what HW gear was, which was 10-30M on patch-week per piece.

There you go, suddenly people actually need to play the game... Wink wink.

just copy WoW's Mythic+ and add more ways to get raid ilvl gear so its not only raiding and tomes for bis for current tier, current gearing is so stale they have followed the same forumla for several expansions in a row there's a big reason for why its so dead inbetween patches

Is getting top gear doing anything for casual players and those that never do raids? It helps with treasure maps being faster (brax already capped at 765 though) and dungeons slightly faster? Other than that, no idea what's the point of end gear. For everybody else, it's just clearing ultimate I guess and maybe criterion.

Really getting gear in this game is just meh.

While I agree with you, the gear treadmill is *the* endgame progression in this MMO and many others.

speaking of wow
i often reference how wow does there cycles ffxiv should take a page out of wow's book with this

i feel if ffxiv ESPECIALLY DURING the .55 cycles copies a page from wows book and does stuff like wow remix and wow plunderstorm
or even put more effort into events such as adding world bosses like the ff15 event and the ffxiv mobile penguin event there would be more of a reason to want to play for the people who want to play during downtimes
i feel by doing something like wow remix it would give us a reason to play
i feel adding mythic + is a eh way because not everyone wants to do mythic+ HOWEVER doing something like delves and adding more devles each patch is a nice way to copy the more ways to get raid lvl gear however that isnt really a huge concern because its not really a big thing
another way to copy wow is ffxiv should give us a way to earn currency to buy shop items like guild wars 2 and wow eve online swtor with security token bdo etc etc
i feel that would also give us more to do apose to really nothing much and even give us more a reason to grind gil

For all the problems WoW may have, they have definitely taken strides in killing the mid-expansion drought. Considering we still have likely over a year until 8.0, I envy them
