IS it just me... or is FFXIV boring?

[Daniolaut]

I love how people say,

"We didnt need another thread of this"

Then say,

"Who resurrected this necro thread?"

Fun fact. A vast majorty of the people who responded in this thread have since quit the game. Especially the original defenders of the game.

The game is mostly boring because from level 1-79 the game is absolutely horribly trivial, and does not challenge you or make you think at all. In fact, you can even be AFK for a majority of all content, including solo content.

With the ARR revamp, they only made it even more trivial and simple and fast.

If they made the game engaging, (and no engaging doesnt mean difficult) people wouldnt quit in such large numbers and they wouldnt have to rely so heavily on the mog station and new players.

Literally they have 20 million accounts, but cant even hold 1 million subs continuously.

A little effort goes a long way.

If you play any game for a few years it will get boring. Name 1 game you can play for years and not get bored. I'll wait.

Then say,

It's a case of who rather than the thread, darling. Do keep up.

Oh my gosh. You don't know how retention rates work?



By the way, it's nearly 2 million by my accounts soooo, yeah.

Every game, even activity in the world gets boring if you do it too many times.

Hey all,

I'm not writing this to troll, or to flame spray, but rather I am trying to see if what I am feeling about this game is what is also what is felt by the community at large.

Yes, the graphics are nice, and I like the idea that you can play any class from a single character - one of the points that drew me to the game in the first place. I also like how many of the dungeons are relatively short, there is rather minimal trash, and the boss fights can be fun and interesting some of the time. Perhaps one of the game's greatest assets is the FATE system, which was inspired by another MMO.

However, I find the game to be murderously boring.

I always find something to do from leveling all my jobs, gathering and crafting, getting achievements, mounts, minions, weekly stuff, gearing up, replay the story with new game plus because the story id the best and so great! I love my warrior of light/darkness(bunny!!!), glamour, hang with friends and free company, maps, events and so much more. It's never boring to me bevause i love ffxiv more than any games and been playing for 4 years with my same and unique character. <3

fffxiv for 4 years with same and unique character.

You might just need a break. Some people are motivated to keep logging in, some aren't.

Sometimes I make alts just to start with a fresh perspective and a different overall aesthetic. If the "all classes on one character" thing is a draw for you though this might not be feasible. I like having various alts that have different gear types because I am terrible at inventory management.

can ya'll stop necro'ing 7 year old threads? Seriously this thread is 2013....
