Question for the "its fun" people

[firepixiedarien]

ok I believe there needs to be progression and SOMETHING to achieve when you log in to keep people playing and having fun.
I keep seeing these people saying "YOU DONT NEED TO UPGRADE GEAR TO HAVE FUN"

i disagree i think you DO need to progress to have fun and have a reason to log in which is why i think 2.1 will really hurt this game.

I ask you guys this one question how many times a week do you log in and run Sastasha dungeon? because according to your logic you dont need to gain anything to enjoy the content and keep on running it over and over.

I don't run Sastasha but I do run AK/WP a lot even though I'm already capped on first day of reset to help others cap.

I wouldn't help them cap unless it was fun.



Friend was 15 myth from capping last night and someone else suggested we do Titan to cap it and we all agreed. We took PUGs for about 3 of our slots too, we ended up wiping for an hour or so.

I wouldn't have fought Titan to help cap unless it was fun.



I fight Ultima Weapon on a daily basis and watch its cutscenes.



I argue with people like you from time to time instead of actually playing FF14.

I wouldn't do it unless I like arguing, and you apparently must feel the same way. There's only 3 things that a person needs in order to live: food, water, and sleep. Anything else is secondary. Rowdey, you just need to fucking accept that this isn't about FF14, it's about your need to argue with people.

The reason why people generally equate progression with fun is because in most MMORPG, and in particular this one, there's really nothing else that is fun that isn't tied to progression. And while people can certainly decide what's fun for them, the difficulty of putting a group for say Cape Westwind or even just the Chimera suggests that there aren't exactly a lot of people jumping for the chance to do these fun-filled activities as these threads claim.

"Fun" is not based on any specified criteria than applies universally. It is an individual experience and varies from person to person. You can judge what is or isn't fun for you, but you cannot apply those same standards to another person.

.

Nah cause its "fun" looking the same as everyone else
its "fun" doing nothing but AK / WP over n over for any kind of sort progression
its "fun" not being able to upgrade anything except for maybe 1 item once every 2 weeks
its "fun" have .3 latecy and getting hit when your no where near red circles
its "fun" forcably having to lie to get into decent coil parties in order to learn the only end game dungeon that locks out ur character not class....

Upgrade your other classes so you can get more ablities.
But I do kind of agree with you. I found myself defending this subject,
just to decide it is kind of dumb.

I have mixed feelings about this.
