Lockouts: The game

[gadenp]

is a necessary evil thing to do. Unless you want to be bored after you've completed the content within weeks time.

No la, was relaxing getting all my different vanity sets slowly from each dungeon.

You know how rage inducing it is to be told suddenly (after they tell you no vertical progression) that all your sets of gear is obsolete in an instance? (Yes I am a bloody min/maxer darn it 5% is 5% to much of an increase).

For FF14, just waiting to see how fast they going to do gear progression. Once a year is still ok. But if 2.2 has ilvl 95~100 gear, then I, sigh, will have to re-evaluate the game. Especially thanks to weekly lockout. I am getting gear at a snails pace, for my main and sub classes.

It will happen. People already quit WoW at the end of a patch/expansion, and WoW is a huge time-sinker progression-wise thanks to heroic raiding being so hard. Imagine in Final Fantasy XIV where progression stops at Twintania/myth grinding.

Milk more fees? ... I'm confused. You pay SE more than once a month?

If you didn't enjoy the game, why would you sub? I sub because the game outside of Raids is fun. Why do you sub?

because human thats why
they hate the game yet they keep play to spread their hate
or maybe they think SE will delete their account if they stop sub even awhile
they love other game and keep compare to FFXIV yet they post only whining, only several player actually post suggestion

whining wont bring it anywhere

Because some people would end their subs once they had their fun and felt done to wait for the next content patch that is likely months away.

You mean, the same people who would spend a day running endless Coils for full i90 for every job, then unsub within the week if we didn't have lockouts... Lockouts are required to give meaning to gear not top tier. MMO's are about wasting time. If the game isn't wasting your time, it's not doing it right.
The trick is to be an entertaining waste of time. For me, XIV is that.

If all you want to do is the max level raids for the very best gear... go play a single player RPG, You'll likely get more entertainment value from it.

And what is wrong with people playing how they want to play? How does it hurt you if someone has top tier gear in a week? It is purely an artificial content extender used to prolong sub fees.

Lockouts don't give meaning to anything, challenge does.

Stop bringing logic into this! This is a hate thread! It's not their fault there are people who would farm 24/7 and then complain that there's nothing to do afterwards.
