Will you quit if this game becomes raid-centric?

[Shoopdadoopdoop]

Personally I'd leave for tera or a game with better raids like the new Star Wars. I love FFXIV but raiding gets boring since its just the same repetitive thing over and over and over again for months till a new one is released.



Logic: fail. How can you call something better than something else when one of those "somethings" doesn't even partially exist yet. (that something being FFXIV's "raids"... 2 dungeons aren't a game. they're a time-buyer.)

I don't understand why some of you have even posted in this thread? It was just a question. Why try to turn it into some debate on the future of the game? I made it clear in the topic that it wasn't a doom and gloom post.

Tbh. This kind of thread sounds just like troll. U should't put word "quit" on your topic.

I don't see the issue it's a honest question, if this game becomes nothing but instanced content I can't imagine I will be playing it for years like I did XI.

I will LEAVE definately

[Youngblood]

Not at all. While it could happen in theory I dout they would take it that direction. More then likely raid/open-world content and battles are gonna be balanced out to appeal to both sides of taste.

This thread seems highly speculative and i don't see the point of it.

No I won't. Non instanced, open world endgame was one of the things I absolutely hated about FFXI.

So apparently they are going to be making most rare stuff come from raids, and are going to mess up the claim system (see http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...-world-content)

I'm assuming that would mean no sky or sea like areas, no HNM dragons, no roaming nms (whats to stop me from generating mass hate and kiting it away from those fighting it to grief them). etc.

So if this game becomes heavily focused on raids and doesn't have an expansive world like FFXI had, will you still play the game?

Note: This is not a troll or doom and gloom post. FFXI's expansive open world was one of the things that set it apart from other MMOs.

Well, I don't do raids very often...and I didn't do sky or anything like that. So since I didn't do them in XI, I doubt I will do them here. I play a game for the main scenario, not for gear...to me that is sort of like a p1$$ing contest. So no I won't leave if it becomes raid centric.

You mention that raids are pretty repetitive...wasn't sky, sea, dynamis, etc. pretty much the same? Need X jobs for this that and the other, kite this, kill that, earn points for loot claim...it all pretty much the same scenario if you ask me...so either way, I think people would be board to tears doing XI style raids or XIV style raids...I sure as heck couldn't pull myself to dedicate years of my life to doing what many did in XI for all that rare/ex drops...no way in hell.

They were, but farming triggers was usually more of a social event than a raid. You weren't always focused on rushing through a dungeon or pure tactics. You could just chill out and talk about stuff while you tried to spawn things. Same with HNM camping. some people really like the laidback kind of thing while others just want to go straight for the action.
