FUTURE OF FFXIV - I hope different from now

[Brainberry]

Sounds like a personal problem to me.

If you quit the game and yet still frequent the forums, you haven't really given up on the game. Not sure who you're trying to punish by unsubbing to the game (for a week) , but in reality it's only yourself.

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 .

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.

...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.

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.

About the only thing you really need a static for is 2nd coil. Join an FC or LS and make some friends to do stuff with when you can do it. I have no static and I am very rarely bored in game, quite often (pretty much every single day) I log on with the intent of just doing my daily roulette and end up staying on for hours because I have that much to do.

I don't have a static either. This week I beat Turn 6 and 7 (with separate groups) farmed Levi EX, Mog EX, helped a friend with Garuda EX, did some atma books, did some crafting, did some gathering, tried to do some of my challenge log, levelled up my Archer a bit, did some treasure maps, made some gil, spent some gil and spent a fair bit of time just chilling in the FC house. This is all while not including obvious stuff like Soldiery/Myth runs.

Nothing to do if you don't have a static?

Players who write I quit in the forums haven't really quit the game they just re sub for a month every time a new patch is out.
