To be honest I'm thinking SE is already going down the wrong path. First updates were awesome, zenith was semi-cool, but the glowing irritated me. Now with every new weapon update they're basicly increasing the grind, and making the weapons glow even more.

With every update it feels like it's more towards the hardcore players that are able to clock in hours.

The hunts are also kind of ruining the game. From 15-50 parties in the party finder, you now have like 8-20 tops and they're all about the second coil. I get it, though. There's no point doing any dungeons for myths or soldiery when you can easily cap both in a few hours by doing hunts, and get Allied seals for Sands/Oils of time.

The thing I always liked about FFXIV that it went more towards the medieval era's with armor/weapon looks, but now it's slowly turning into who has the biggest glowing e-peen.

What are your thoughts on the path SE is currently taking with the new updates?
