Game Getting DULL

[Gramul]

Honestly, that's how it is though. If you've played yourself out of the content, trying to get people to "agree that it's boring now" who don't agree with you is just obsessive.

Go do something else. Seriously. Like, really seriously.

The people who bring up grievances don't completely hate the game. They see the potential and are frustrated when it's not fulfilled.
The point of these forums it to communicate our views and thoughts to the community and devs alike. All this "if you don't like it leave" stuff is just being dismissive and angry at the people who aren't content.
If you want to party and just have a good time with folks, party in the game with people you like. On the forums, there's no restriction to content beyond blunt insulting.

Well I mean do you really think this OP was being reasonable at all? If it's not trolling they're just the type that plays these games and doesn't like them. I understand being frustrated with a game, I've been frustrated with a lot of MMOs in the past. But everything they're posting smacks of "everything sucks", how is that for a basis about a real discussion about content?

I can even paraphrase it
"This game is dull"
"If you think what you said is content is decent content then you're dullards"
"If you think Arena PVP is fun you should go play EVE now that's thrilling(lol)"

and it goes on and on and on. I always hate when people trot out the "you should respect people's opinions" when the person is just spewing crap, of course people are going to be confrontational with a person who is full of it. I think a lot of people probably SHOULD quit playing MMOs, everyone agrees they were better back in the days they were less popular, and the people who seem to force themselves to play them aren't getting any happier.

Ok finally my ban for posting a pic of a cardboard box is lifted and I can comment on this thread.

I know the OP, I played with him since P3 in beta, we were in the same FC for many months, and while I am not going to white knight for SE here I am going to point out some things that I feel most of these Im bored posters might want to consider. OP had no job when this game started, he often played 18-21 hours a day in the first 2 weeks of launch. We often told him maybe he should slow down, take his time, not get burnt out. Instead he decided to level every job to 50. He "retired" off of Coil to do so. In less than 2 weeks he had fate ground every job to 50 and after that instead of jumping back into raids he went off on the crafting tangent. Now I give OP props, he farmed every peice of gear and shard and mat to level everything he did. But still...

To those of you saying this game is boring, that content is gone, that its not enough, how many of you have families, a job, outside friendships that take up some of your day? And if you dont, why should you expect a game to be designed on your needs of playing 24/7 non stop with new content all the time? Did it ever occur to you to go outside, slow down and enjoy life? Im not accusing everyone of being basement dwellers, but honestly you guys are in the minority, what do you want SE to do?

I want to point out I am not white knighting for the game. SE has made many horrible mistakes that have made me wonder if they are trying to bring down this game or if suits in a office room are making these bad decisions. I have been left shaking my head many times at the absurdity of the stuff that goes down in this game sometimes.

To Ron: Ron, Im sorry you are bored, we tired to get you to slow down and enjoy things at a slower pace. Im going to say it though, told you so.

Airing personal business about someone then saying i told you so... You are special, princess. I am sure your ban only happened because of a box picture.

^starlord: How does a bunch of people standing around afk'ing mean the game's not dull?

If they are logged in, they obviously have something to do ( or why waste their money to just stand around?) I am just proving a point that the game isn't a "zombie land". I could take pictures of all the new people I see in Crystal Tower but what good would that do exactly? If the game was "dull" as some people claim, the people afk or people that are logged in wouldn't be paying money for it.

I'm sorry but 2.1 can't really carry people for another 3 more Months for Legacy Player and Player that are already level 50 and mostly in iLevel 90 gears already. 2.1 are great contents to new people I admit and there is so much for them to do.

But what about the Legacy Players and Players who already max out their gears and level? Level another job? Sure, but everything is cap anyway.

1.) 2 New Hard Mode Dungeon
You do it once to see what it is like, and you are done with it.

2.) New Dungeon.
Same as 1.

3.) PvP
Unbalance and just plain boring and tedious after awhile. Especially for PvE players.

4.) CT
One week lockout is really stupid for loots. People want to gears up their alts, this is content for them and yet you lock them out yet again.

5.) EX Primals.
Eh, it not worth it and the weapon is hardly any better then Relic.

6.) Housing
Yet SE make another stupid decision here. No one will stay that long to grind for that amount of Gils just to get a House which served no benefits.

7.) Treasure Hunt.
Fun for a couple of time, but then there a lockout yet again. The 8 people hunt is way too easy to be any challenge, drop are most of the time bad for what it worth.

-snip-

1) You get Tomestones for doing them

2) Same as 1

3) PvP A lot of improvements can be made here for sure, but it is a nice distraction if you need it

4) CT I can agree the loot lockout is extreme 3 day lockout would be just fine personally, However, I love running the raid just for the tomestones ( 200 Philo 50 Myth), the content itself is fun so I' kinda cool with it, but the lockout need to be adjusted for sure

5) EX Primals are a much needed challenge and if you don't wanna waste Myth on Zenith then Using EX Primals is a good way to go about it and still get Myth Gear.

6) Housing I do agree that prices are over the top, but it will be going down in price with them intervening and the 6 hour price drop in time Housing will be content for everyone to do

7) I do Treasure Hunting all the time ( every 2 days= 2 maps +FC Maps= 20-30k on kills alone not adding the loot that comes out of it.( Some Fights are annoying like Chimera (and you don't know when they are coming because it is completely random on who you fight.)

( You also forgot Beastmen Quests which you get 6 a day)


Overall I feel it will last them until 2.2, if you are talking about the hardcores why of course they won't have much to do, they normally burn through everything anyways :P.
