FFXIV has lost it's magic

Except it's not the cause of the biggest complaints in this game. The biggest complaints involve encounters and mechanics and everything BUT the casuals.

EVen without the casuals you'd still be complaining about the lack of content. This happens every.single.time a game is newly released. The "hardcores" bitch and moan that the casuals are ruining the game and there's nothing to do. I've seen this happen in every single new MMO release in the last 20 years.

The problem is time and money. SE has limited time and money to produce content. IT takes far more time to create content then to clear it. As such the Myths are capped to slow the no lifers down.

I know you're going to make a snide remark about my level so I'll just pre-empt that. I learned some time ago that rushing to the end game to engorge my e-penor rarely provides lasting satisfaction. So I take my time now and enjoy the voyage instead of focusing on the end point.


EDIT : These forums are terribly designed and the incredibly small limit on posts size prevent any real discussion from being possible.

Who are "those same people"?
Where are their complaints?
Who said Myth caps are "for people who play 2 hours per day" (and not to prevent yet another Pandemonium Warden)?
How nothing would change if you removed open world?

Is this what they call a strawman argument?

Yoshida emphasized that reaching level 50 doesn't mean game over. The story will progress with new and challenging quests and dungeons, adding more to the player's overall experience. Level 50 is actually starting point of the game.

Thats the wrong way to look at it and Yoshi has that incorrect. The game starts at level 1 not at level 50.

Very pretty, but completely soulless the way it is at the moment. Like a nicely dressed corpse.

not sure how anyone can argue with wanting more sense of adventure and danger in places outside of timed instances. The whole "i dont have time" argument is stupid. its saying "hey dont make the world interesting for anyone because i personally don't have time to look at it". if you want to stand at a crystal and shout, then continue doing so. but at least let mor dhona feel like a scary place again. if you dont have time to play a game with substance, then you shouldn't play it. does that argument work for anything else? make food cook faster because i dont have time to cook.. make the NFL easier to get into because i dont have time to practice.

edit: Ironically the kayak commercial came on with the brain surgeon controlling his patient to book a flight because he doesn't have time to do it.

LOL I love that commerical!
"This is completely unethical..."
"My hours are unethical." xDDD

I hope they do not abuse making more modes for Primal's...
It'll be boring fighting Ifrit and co. over and over....for years on different difficulties.
I would like to see more Primal's soon...Shiva anyone!?!
