So the zodiac upgrades... (kind of ranty post)

^ Sums it up pretty well and I'm one of them. It's almost like a little slice of old school Korean MMORPGs and FFXI rolled together in one.

Incorrect - In XI I at least benefited from working on Relic/Mythic/Empyrean because the content you had to do for it actually progressed your character in the same sitting - In XIV, I gain -zero- benefit from spamming Fates, low level dungeons, waiting 2-5 hour+ Fate spawns that's no different from your basic FATE and then spamming maps and more dungeons that serve no purpose to my progression for a piece of alexandrite. At least with XI Relic, I did Dynamis and gained gear that's useful (at the time) and had the option of selling currency I didn't need and even earned a refund to pass off to a friend or make 20-30mil+. With Mythics I gained Nyzul/Einherjar gear and ZNM gear. With Empyrean I gained my much used Empyrean Armor sets until Adoulin released.

With XIV...yeah it's more Korean style than anything.

Snipped the rest, sorry Tupsi. With XIV...yeah it's more Korean style than anything.

This right here is the sad, unfortunate truth. Of course, I am betting someone will argue that you're gaining Poetics for running dungeons! ... Not really the same thing. XI relics were fun, despite lockouts in certain content for a while.

I dunno if I'd say they were fun (The grind was still unreal), but they were "Profitable and allowed you to pursue multiple gear milestones at once" would probably be a better phrasing imo.

I'd say they were fun merely due to the fact players actually wanted to work together, where as in this game it's literally... If you don't have a static, or people who want to play with you in your FC, you're quite literally, SOL. Because then the time factor soars... Where as in XI it wasn't too hard to find people, but God help you if you screwed someone over after they helped you...
