FUTURE OF FFXIV - I hope different from now

[Searain]

Hello, I am a player of ARR with FFXIV subscription currently closed, except for the remaining days.I had to do a reflection on the current structure of this game.
I personally had a static group for all the contents of the previous patch then I had to leave due to personal problems.I have all the classes to 50, except that I do not like DRG and two charachter and I did the animus for my PLD.

Now, i play together to my GF, we don't have a static now and the game is BORING.It seems to me absolutely limiting restrict the content to static party, the same mistake was made on World of Warcraft, and in fact solved by inserting raid finder, an automatic duty (as the duty finder) that takes you on raids, obviously with the same drop slightly detuned .

[Searain]

The party finder is unreliable, 95% of the groups want people already experienced and when you make a party training ragequit after 5 minutes.Now, if you're not in a static you can not see the new content, do other relic is embarrassing given the absurdity of the quest. A casual player what to do in the evening after work?

Please avoid comments from fanboy, all the others are welcome.
Thanks all for the attention.

The mistake WoW made was giving people the idea that raid content should be something you walk into with a bunch of strangers who all have no idea of mechanics and succeed.

Group content is for casual players who don't want to commit to a static. Raid content is for people who are willing to take the responsibility involved in having X number of people rely on you.

No one who actually played WoW considers LFR "raid content". It's storyline bridging content to get you INTO raid content. Many people here who make disparaging remarks about WoW's tiered system have never played at a high level in that game.

True or not you can't argue that before that system games were not filled with "WTF I CAN'T USE THE LFG TOOL TO DO RAIDS!?!!!?!?!?!?!??!?!!!"

Suddenly people get the idea that they should because "WoW does it!!!" ( I mean that's literally what OP and hundreds of other posts along the same vein have said)

I was around before it was implemented, and most people simply wanted a "story mode" raid, and that's what LFR is, basically. People are still rewarded though with sub-par weapons and armor sets. It is also half of what the real raid has to offer with dumbed down mechanics, so the differences are significant. I'd equate LFR in WoW to CT in XIV, but CT has it's own storyline entirely. And let's face it, CT has some pretty cool armor sets. :P I have not seen a single post requesting a "LFR" tool to do Coil, so I'm not sure what you're talking about. Even if they were to do this I truly couldn't care less. I'd get to see the story, the true raiders would get superior gear. I watch the cutscenes on youtube anyway cause I have no real desire to actually raid.

...the game is BORING.

Like many games, this game is only as fun as the amount of effort you put into it.

This isn't a problem that SE needs to fix. If you want fun, you have to find it.

I want to like this many times over. Hell... I want it for my signature!!

What is stopping you on forming an own static with your GF?
