Game Has Gone to the Dogs

I'll never understand why people buy an mmo, pay for said mmo, and then expect there to be loads of solo content. It's an online game. The point is to play with other people. Joining a free company that wants to do the group content is a good first step. If you don't like this aspect of the game then this genre is probably not for you. This isn't meant to sound nasty, but it's the truth. There's plenty of single player rpg's out there that will offer the type of enjoyment that you may be looking for.

Is 14 the first/only MMO you've ever played? Many others, including beginning mmos have had viable solo content.

This post is slightly over a decade old, but it holds up even in Dawntrail.
Doesn't help SE is doubling down on protecting a particular unit with their call for censorship that rhymes with 'siena dryer' after selfsame unit committed the very acts SE considers banning/censoring people for.

the more things change the more they stay the same

Playing with other people is great. Being locked out of content or only having a day or 2 of content a week (and paying for it) is not. People need other things to do besides sit in town and "queue up". There needs to be something you can work towards on your own.

That's a niche some of the relic weapon steps are supposed to fill, but they tossed that out in Endwalker and arbitrarily decided Relics shouldn't start until .25 at the very least.
Field Operations would have worked for this if they just implemented the mechanics in the field zones instead of making them separate duties that stop you from queuing for anything...

Its just that were in the age of wussys. These kids are soft now a day. Like who cares if someone is griping about you being inexperienced just ignore them. A lot of posters sound like the kids crying about getting bullied and wanting to kill themselves like come on get some tougher skin. Like people saying their quiting because some lil 15 year old a hole is giving them grief...seriously. How about you use party finder and make a inexperienced group and run some dungeons problem solved.

this has only got worse

The game's been dying since the day it started, depending on who you ask.

Hell, if you count 1.0, this game died before it even started.

But it's fine to die and come back better. That's why we liked A Realm Reborn. What we're struggling with is A Realm Declining Into Old Age And Stuck In Its Way.
