It makes me sad, but I'm genuinely no longer having fun with this game...

There are so many factors that are contributing to this...

1 - The first one is hunts. Queues have been severely damaged, if you are a tank or a healer it's not significantly noticeable, but if you are DPS it is. Also, they've trivialized everything.

2 - Atmas. I've gone through it, and not just once, but it saddens me how SE is deciding to go this line. SE doesn't understand that the majority of people did the Atmas because they hadn't a choice (despite most countertrolls think by saying "it's optional") but because the desire to get their next tier of their relic weapon was higher than the amount of boredom they had to put up with all the atma horror story.

3 - Power Creep. It's happening so hard in this game I really want to cry...things like Stone Vigil HM or Hullbreaker Isle which are a complete joke in terms of difficulty literally destroy and triviallize stuff like Copperbell Mines HM, which by the way is significantly harder than the other 2. Also, you have these 3 primal EX fights which in my opinion require a lot of coordination and are extremely exciting and they've turned them into "mount, vanity" farm fights And then there's the ECHO to even leave them more behind. In terms of difficulty, T6 is not harder than Titan EX (without echo) yet one gives basically nothing and the other one nets you highest tier equipment. SE is releasing new content and blatantly throwing out from the window the older one.

4 - Melee Classes. Ridiculous. Why can a BRD parse a brutal amount of damage pressing 4 buttons (straight shot, venomous bite, windbite and heavy shot) with the occasional buffs and bloodletters and Melees have to deal with overly complicated rotations with FLANK AND REAR REQUIREMENTS. Now this is my MAIN complain. I don't mind the hard rotations, but what's this flank/rear business? Especially in a game where you can only reliably hit flanks and rears IF the enemy is standstill, there's no absolute way you can coordinate a flank/rear in a moving target, in fact, 90% of your attacks don't even land on moving targets forcing you to recast them (which puts melee classes even at a more disadvantage), let alone LANDING A FLANK/REAR hit on enemies that are moving. And then you have all the melee dangers which all the poor DRGs and MNKs have to deal with, no wonder they spend more time lying on the floor than fighting. When I see someone playing DRG or MNK, I feel bad for that person.

Are you admitting you use parsers?

I'm not usually one for saying this, but if you aren't enjoying the game anymore, why continue to play?

I'm a PS4 player.

There's a fair chance I will not continue to play. I haven't done anything fun in the last two weeks and I completely refuse joining the Hunt FFXIV hysteria that has 90% of my server farming mind numbing content and teleporting from one place to another like soulless thralls.

I agree with everything except the melee point because positioning and moving around is what makes them fun at least for me, though I do agree with the way the game and servers handle positioning so that any small movement on the mob's part will cancel your skill, you get used to it and learn how to manage it but it's still annoying to deal with when it happens.

That's why I still get free Shoulder Tackles all the time, on your screen they might seem like they're facing a direction and aren't that far but for the server they're already way ahead and facing another position, not to mention any tiny bit of latency will throw off your off GCD abilities that you have to weave in, gets especially bad on Tuesdays.

I'd say vote with your wallet and don't let anyone guilt trip you into staying in a game you no longer enjoy, I mean with the amount of people that always spout "If you don't like it leave" you'd think they'd be ok with the game losing a couple of subs.

Everyone gets bored with same things after a while. you could take a break and see how it goes. If you quit, then that means all the work and time you've spent on your characeter is gone. So think about it carefully so you don't regret later.
