Current State of the Game

In the video I mention, I'd like to see the game throttled in a different way. Removing caps and lockouts and rather having chests not be 100% to increase the longevity of content. I also mention adding rare craft items that craft into stuff that match gear being rewarded.

How do you feel about these concepts? What other ideas do you have that would entertain us as we log in daily?

Every suggestion that you have made have been propossed by other players in numerous threads. They have also never been acknowledged by SE. They only respond to ideas that fit their philosophy of the games future development. There needs to be a change in that philosophy before change can occur. Unfortunately I do not have any ideas on how to accomplish that.

Added thought. I wonder if SE can truely embrace the MMO concept? It appears to me that they are still a stand alone console developer who are trying to fit those concepts into an MMO. Many of the things we are seeing now would be better suited to Lightning Returns then this.

I truly feel like if the game continued to grow in it's 1.x state with the new pretty map along with the new Archanist/Summoner/Scholar job... we would have a better game.

I've said this myself, and i've noticed a lot more people within the community I share say this as well. 1.0 was a bad game, but it was promising. The revisions they were doing gave it that onset of a better future, and it was becoming funner. ARR isn't giving me that vibe right now. It's just a bunch of old ideas that have been pushed in front of consumers for years on end. In my opinion ARR is a mediocre game that thinks it's good, when it's just average. What's to come doesn't look like it will change that status.

1.0 ---> Bright Future
ARR ---> Future in question

(my opinion)

This is another great example of how to properly word an argument. Well done.

I am not a 10 percenter. I currently do not have an FC, because I didn't want to commit to a static (cause I'm a casual and I am not about to commit to a gaming schedule).

I did not rush to end game.

Even so, I ran out of stuff, can get turn 4 (I'm not bothering with turn 5, since it most likely would require a static).. can cap myth and get my CT loot on Monday in an hour or so.

Please stop pretending you have to be some kind of uber gamer to max out. Oh sure, there are technically some things I could do- like harvesting. That's not fun to me and I am not interested, though- although I did try it. Not everyone wants to do everything... as a casual, I am certainly not going to force myself to do things that aren't fun- just so I can be playing a game that isn't providing me fun.

To those that say "Everything is fine, just leave" - fine... but that philosophy didn't work for 1.X very well, now did it?

Hardcores are probably already gone- the game is now stale for casuals that aren't completionists... the audience this appeals to seems to be shrinking, instead of growing.

None of this is relevant. this game in 5 months has released more content them some games in a year after release. The game is in vanilla state. though many of you may not understand what this means there are some who actually know when wow was unpopular and how it had zero endgame till its first expansion. or they remember when EQII had nothing but a single raid to do at endgame till their first expansion. they may even reflect on some F2P games that always had a slow progression. These cries between content updates that are only a couple months apart are getting boring. this game is going to be 6 months old with 2 major content updates. stop crying. post suggestions to fix in the proper sub forum, quit or play the game. or.... post something handy that is worth reading

What terribad games have you been playing? Whle I think it's more content here than most people let on in this game, every game I've played at release or not has had more content than this.

Your kidding right? name them.... what game had loads more at endgame.

This game had how many? 6 end game dungeons and 3 trials? (Double check me on the trials) None of the end game dungeons dropped gear so its really no point in running them, only the ones that gave philo/myth which were two I believe?.

Aion had phew like what over 10 end game dungeons at release? Plus a nice crafting systems, pvp, vanity, and so much more
I can't even begin to list all the f2p (YES free to play) games that released with loads to do.

Over all I agree with you that there is a lot to do the problem is there is no reason to do it. They don't have multiple end game sets that's worth using. There's no vanity drops no rare crafting drops. Nothing. Which is why people say there's no content. Then the content you do have you're locked out of it.
