End game... Bored. The facts.

What some people do not understand that is that what we have now is just the base game to build upon with many updates. I think we will see Yoshis real XIV with the expansion they are already planning. At least that is what i think o,o.

I never understood how simpleminded people had to be to realize that leveling another job to experience 50% of the game again isn't really content. People who did rush through the game only could because they found the most efficient way to do things. Rehashing content doesn't mean more things to do..it just means you're stuck in a loop. Some people just realized that sooner than later. How hard is that to understand?

Variation is why MOBA games are getting a great chunk of MMO players instead of cookie-cut MMORPGs. Learn from your mistake SE.

Apart from the unique content and storyline for each class, of course.

All i saw was me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me me and some rambling about not wanting to play other parts of the game.

I dislike many people having the mentality that they have to rush through the content and compete with others for having slightly shinier gear than the rest. The crucial thing for an MMO for me is that it provides options for you to choose your role in the world (beyond just stat bonuses on your gear).

Exhausting yourself with the endgame grind is your own fault, but it's also a design flaw with FFXIV ARR at the moment. It seems like there's very little other stuff to do with a max level character at the moment. Especially in this case my suggestion would be that people should relax and enjoy the journey a bit more instead of rushing to the endgame. I really hope there'll be other systems, content and long-term gameplay goals in the future in addition to endgame raids though. That's sort of a niche attraction even if you'd provide a fast path to max level.

I'm currently in a fate/mine grinding group in Northern Thanalan.

I tab in, Holy/Shroud of Saints til I'm dry, tab back here.

Yeah, sorry guys, but the two instances, Coil, and HMs are the only content the game has. The group doesn't notice when I tab out because they're too busy spamming their one-buttons too.

Most/maybe even no MMO has very good end-game at launch. If your in it for the end-game, I advise those people to wait a year a come back. By then you should see end-game in much variety.

Edit: ( This is one of the reasons why I don't take 1 class to max at launch, because 9 times out of 10 end-game won't be there), if it's an MMO that normally only allow 1 character 1 class at launch I do other things like gathering/profession. Go straight to 50 at launch is not such a good thing.

Just speaking the truth, End game is not so good right now, your right. The rest of the journey 1-50, is great. The battle themes for the open world needs variations.

The people that rushed to 50, you did get what was coming to you. There's still a whole game you haven't played yet, I advise trying other things or wait a year from now, to get what your actually looking for (end-game).

Also why would I stop defending the game? I absolutely love the game ( I do have issues with it, but the game is not "bad"). You apparently hate the game, so go play a game you do like.

I am having fun with the game as well. But there are things I see that need to be addressed since LAUNCH, not two days from now. Defend the good parts of the game... whatever they are, FINE, don't make an excuse for them though. "It's ok other mmos don't have good....." "It's ok, most mmos are like..." It's ok..." Why do you want this game to be crap like those other mmos. YOu do know that ALL THOSE OTHER MMOS WENT F2P RIGHT? So, it's ok if this game goes f2p because that's what most mmos do now.

You shouldn't have to put a game on hold for a year to be playable for most.....

I'm not making excuses for them, they do need to add stuff for the max level characters, I am not denying that. I'm just saying you won't be seeing it till a year to have loads of end-game content ( realistically), development takes time ( end-game content will come in all the updates though, so even around the 6 month mark end-game should have a decent variety!). Which is why I advise you to do other things while you wait for end-game to be "Developed". It won't just pop up in front of you I can tell you that.

Yes things need to be addressed as any MMO even the best, needs stuff addressed. I do admire that you want the game to be the best it can be though, but being a broken record doesn't really help the issue so much ( because they see that you and other people want X thing). I don't know what else to say to you.

Right now "Most" people can't even get past the Titan Story mode fight, let alone get there character to 50.
