Why should I renew my subscription?

[Rattleh3ad]

This is the only game that is regressing as time goes by. Releasing lower level content instead of moving forward. It's ridiculous, I don't understand the logic behind making Crystal Tower only level 80, and not being able to raid with 24 players of your choosing. They have had months to address this issue which I complained about from the start, and this is the 2nd launch for this game, and they still seem to be repeating mistakes from 1.0.

I don't want vanity items, and it's not even vanity, in order to have to wear the lower level gear, you gotta unequip your higher level gear. I don't want to level up another class(leveling is too grindy to be enjoyable, I can only replay the same fates so much). I want to progress, experience new content to make my character stronger, not weaker. Yes, extreme primal modes look fun, but those are boss fights that are already been beaten by me about 100 times.

I don't understand this going backwards content, no other MMO in the history of games would have done this. Do you think WoW, LoTRO or even FFXI would last this long if they kept releasing content that's lower level than currently available?

SE, it seems you are doing everything possible to drive away your playerbase. You worked years rebuilding this game from the dumpster fire that was 1.0, and most of my FC are not renewing their subscriptions.

Yoshi, you said that you will never make your game F2P, because subscription fees ensure quality content released at set intervals. So, again, why release content that sets you backwards in progression?

Oh but don't you want to level all your classes to 50?
run Wanderer's Palace 50 more times?
How about some crafting!
Work on achievments?
Socialize?

Good lord, your right listen to me.....
I'm yawning just thinking about it.

I must admit I find myself confused by posts like this.

You clearly dislike the way the game is going. You disagree with the devs decisions and have pretty much made it clear you've nothing to look forward to.

SE isn't going to read this and think "he's right, screw CT let's ditch that then magically create a harder raid before the next scheduled update".

Its apparent you dislike the game and it will not be changing. So why indeed should you continue to sub?

Why bother to post at all? Find a game you'll enjoy playing.

Good luck..

Don't. Bye!

Eh, you don't have to.

As it stands I wouldn't recommend this game to anyone until 2.2 hits.

I agree, casual players shouldn't be getting their own content square should just release Coil DF mode and make it 75% easier and drop ilvl89 gear. Afterall everyone on wow thinks that was a wonderful idea.

At the end of the day I want to wish you a congrats on your victory in Coil and I do see why you are mad just try and look a bit further ahead. CT will mean two things for the hardcore community, 1) They can actually push the difficulty of hardcore content even further without the stress that casuals won't be happy that all endgame content will be inaccessable and 2) This will make gearing other jobs more enjoyable. You might not enjoy having multiple classes but please do understand that it is actually a major part of the final fantasy franchise ever since three.

From what I understand development will be in 2 different tiers example. 2.0, 2.2, 2.4... Hardcore community content whilst 2.1, 2.3, 2.5 will be focused on casual content, thus both sides of the playerbase will have something to do without the other being forgotten.

Also please note that blizzard has also adopted a similiar model example, 5.0, 5.2, 5.4 - Raid content whilst 5.1 and 5.3 were simply casual content patches.

Just try to see it from both sides perspective. wish you the best in your gaming adventures, no matter where they may ake you!

The game isn't "regressing." It's offering content to appeal to all levels of play. NOT EVERYONE IS A HARDCORE PLAYER and not everyone has lv90 gear as much as some people on this forum think they do.

But if you have to ask "Why should I renew my subscription" then you probably shouldn't. I love the game and still think it's great and I am still very interested in the new patch content. But if you're not, feel free to take a break, and I'm not saying this to be facetous or anything, but rather because you might be burnt out and / or just not that interested in the game in the first place, and that's fine. Not every game can appeal to everyone.

I agree, casual players shouldn't be getting their own content

In other words, you think SE should cater to a minority, not the majority of players that pay the majority of its subscription dollars. It's not like we're never going to get more hardcore content. Even though I've been through Coil and consider myself a somewhat hardcore player, you really need to stop demonizing casuals like they're ruining the game just because they are possibly benefiting from this patch more than you.

Please tell me how CT sets back the game? A good majority of people currently have a mix of i70,i80,i90 armor, few and far in between are the people with pure i90. And even then it's on 1 job. So you have a major portion of people who will want the CT armor to complete main sets, and sets for off classes. Unless you have i90 for ALL jobs under the sun, and i don't care if you play em or not. you are not allowed to complain.

Pst. I think that was intended as sarcasm.

You should renew if you are having fun. If you are no longer having fun, then stop subscribing. Why is this such a hard concept?
