Thread: 2.2

After starting the quest to obtain 12 Atma pieces from across the world, it only took two and a half hours of killing fates to obtain one piece. So I decided to take a break from that and see if anyone knew how many tomes I would need to further enhance it, I got the reply of 13,500, thirteen thousand five hundred. I couldn't believe it so I went on the forums to confirm and yes, there it was. I was in shock for a moment and thought, well, maybe since philo tomes are the new myth tomes, the drops for myth would be the same as the old philo. Wrong! We're talking slightly increased number of myth equal to half or less of the philo you used to get. So Crystal Tower gives 100? Let's do that 135 times, that's only what, 135 hours? You've ruined this game for me with introducing a painful grind and unless something changes, and I don't mean a little, in the next few days this will be my last month here.

A Relic Reborn was good, the quest had different fights that were all challenging to a new player. No one wants to sit there running the same dungeon to farm something a ridiculous number of times, and before everyone says this is what I asked for, no. Everyone who was happy with the game was playing the game rather than bitching about SE having no content.

This..

People will eventually relax.. this is housing all over again.

Yuck. Levi X weapons are i95 upgradable to i100 it looks like. That's on par with upgraded relic. Masterworks weapons are i100 upgradable to i110. Coil2 weaps are i115. Everything is going to be fine, your relic should be a nice long term quest for you to work towards! Its going to be fun, I plomise.

Haha you sly fox, editing before I could quote you - But between your original post, and this one, I think you make a great meta-point, in that FFXIV is not going to be exactly like WoW/Rift/etc or like EQ1/FFXI, it is blazing a new path, hopefully a great middle road.

2.2 looks amazing so far - I am excited! : D

Since this is the opposite of fun for me, i'm re-thinking my sub. What keeps me from unsubbing right now? My FC that i run and the friends i've made.

I love how they keep trying to force fates down our throats. I feel like a kid who hates peas but my mom make them a lot for dinner and wants me to finish them all before i can have dessert. Say NO to peas....

That said, i don't mind fates or grinding even, but having it be the same thing ro grind over and over and over with no other vaible or equal options/paths just kinda makes my eyes glaze over.

TL/DR:seems boring is all i'm sayin.

Not trying to get it done in one day, I was perfectly fine with weekly caps and drops, such as coil and myth. I'm not fine with the game actually requiring me to do mindless tasks repeatedly for endless hours, kind of like a job at mcdonalds.

Then go get a different i100 weapon. Believe it not, all content in this game is optional. No one is forcing you to do anything.

The other weapon will have to do for me. Who knows maybe I'll get lucky and get a High Allagan Staff on the first win so I can stop whining.
