Current State of End-Game Contents - A Blog Post from A Japanese Player

This was a great explanation of so much of what I've been feeling. It took me months to overcome Titan HM - even after I learned the fight, there were still people in the group who would mess up and it'd go all wrong. Currently, I'm stuck at Titan EX. Even after learning the fight and performing it flawlessly, there are still others who do not. Then there comes a point where I can no longer perform it perfectly because of fatigue, latency, or some other issue.

Beating these bosses doesn't feel like an accomplishment, it feels like winning the lottery - I lucked into the right combination of players on a given day.

So at the moment I have these options:

1. Continue to beat my head bloody on the wall that is Titan EX
2. Farm a gazillion Fates for this ridiculous quest line
3. Do dailies and log out

I've been doing #3 for a long time. This is the first time in 6 months of playing FFXIV that I've seriously considered just cancelling my sub.

This nonsense isn't fun anymore.

I'm in the exact same boat, and doing #3 just like you most nights.

A lot of my friends feel the same and several have already moved on to WildStar so maybe that's where I'll peek next.

The whole thing is so depressing when you consider how much better it could be with just some minor changes.

You guys will get a wake up call because compare this game to Wildstar, ARR is a cakewalk.

I dont want a cakewalk, I'd like a game where its not... "Stand here, move there, stand here, wait 15 secs, run there..." over and over and over again without variation.

Base it more on gear and vary the GD actions. Rather have that then what it is now.

I've watched people playing WS and it looks like a lot of fun. Endgame may be a clustermoogle there too, but by the time I'd get there, at least I'd be enjoying the ride to 50 perhaps.
