Really Vish, you want me to leave? I've been with FFXIV since Alpha 1. It's people like me who have a deep interest and desire to see FFXIV succeed, that you want to stick around. If I feel that the game needs to have more repeatable content to keep an interest in staying logged in. Then I'll speak up.
Keeping things as is, isn't going to do FFXIV any good. SE knows that. Hence the dev team change, the sweeping changes to the game. ect ect.
Of course if you were to make guildleves available with vastly reduced timers of course you'd have to reduce the rewards given from them! cut the rewards by 2/3 or 3/4. Leves are meant for casual, solo play. It allows for access content on an as needed basis.
What is there to keep people logged into the game? The awesome welcoming community that tells you to leave when you make a suggestion to alter content to make it more available?
I'm afraid that when they introduce more Grand Compnay quests that anything repeatable is going to be on a rediculously long cool down as well. Or the quests are 1 time only, then you have to pick and choose: Will getting that little SP boost be more worthwhile on my low rank Conjurer, or will it be best to use it to rank up my GLA faster?
It's a game, it's supposed to be accessable and fun.
Parties outside LS organised grinds are by in large NON EXISTANT so, too bad to those who don't have an active large LS.
repetable content is on such long cool downs that people log out prematurely because there isn't rewarding means of progression available until the next reset which could be up to 36 hours before they log in again.
What say you to this:
Leve reset every 4 hours. (rewards reduced of course) what are the chances of someone logging on, pickign up leves and completing them and stickign aroudn for the next 2-3 hours actively takign part in the games community because at the very least the next reset is just around the corner.
I want people to stay logged into the game. I don't want quick progression. I want to log in at 7am and have somethign to do when my LS is dormant. I want something to do when i log in later that after noon and my LS is running the R45 raid (which i can't join yet) I want something to do when I log in late at night just because I want to play.
With a 36 hour reset timer it's hard to just pick up the game and play. Thats what it's about. Pick up and play.
PICK UP AND PLAY!
