Thread: Frustration regarding Patch 2.2

Wait.. so you are complaining that the game is making you progress? Poor baby.

Well, the upshot of all this is that all the annoying threads complaining about FFXIV being a "Monday only game" and that there's "no content left" seem to have disappeared from the front page of the General Discussion forum...

I guess we'll need to wait two or three weeks for those to come back.

that the best of it actually, because in a couple of week this thread will come back, because even with this idiotic grind, people with a lot of time of play will simply crush this. i have already seen a couple of people with the atma weapon. less than 2 after the patch. indeed it's only the first part of the zodiac weapon. but i really think that add artificial wall (and they are wall) that are grind (because grind was never challenging) for please this people that have a huge time of play it's stupid. because whatever you do, they will always find a way to crush it.

i want to say this, add grind to the game for stuff like the zodiac weapon. well why not, but for stuff like the recipe for new ilevel 90 crafted stuff or some item is stupid. it's not fun, it's not rewarding in anyway since most of the crafted equipement will not be used. it's easier to get your myth for equip yourself than get the recipe for this stuff and after succefully craft it in HQ and pentameld it behind. if the crafting gears was close of the end game gear why not... but there it's not the case. even with pentameld it will stay far far less good than ilevel 100 gears... and BC2 give ilevel 110 gears.

What grind? Walking over to the MB and buying the items needed for the quest is not a grind.

I'm sure that 3 months from now prices will be affordable to everyone.

When you'd see someone with a relic before you had one, it was a sight. .

Ah I see, mindlessly grinding fates is what makes you a good player. Thanks for the clarification. I thought killing chimera, hydra and all three HM primals would make me a better player but I was wrong. Fate grinding will make us better players!

Thank you SE for making getting a relic "Harder" because you know it takes quite a bit of skill to dot up a few fate mobs then go take a dump while you wait for it to end.

I wish I could like the first reply more than once. I died.

112.500 seals = ~24 hours of upper la noscea fate farming, probably a lot less in cohertas. Yes, you ll farm seals and stuff as a guild too now

Other than that well, I don't think that time sink = meaningfull challenge.

At least new turns in Coils are here to fill that part, but for the rest, rofl.

THIS^^.... As a crafter, the lack of purpose is the main issue. I would happily grind for seals, potash, hard sap, etc. if there was a reason. Why go through the grind if there is no market what you can craft with the best gear.

As a DoM and DoW, you grind for the best gear in order to beat the hardest content. If then after beating the hardest content, I have fun helping others. But what do I do with the best crafting gear? .... this is my disappointment. Crafting should be involved in the end-game. I disagree with others who say is shouldn't.

Why do people want to beat everything in the first 5 hours of the new patch?
