Boring Endgame

[Amelia_Pond_Behemoth]

I kinda have to agree. I really wish there was more to do at endgame. Before Abyssea, people were still doing Sky, Sea, Dynamis, Limbus, Salvage, Assault (including Nyzul) and Einherjar. There was plenty to do.

With this, I feel like content is going to be outdated much quicker.

It took the developers years to accumulate the amount of content FFXI had before Abyssea.

XIV will never get there regardless of how many years it is up though because it is pure vertical progression. It is a very bad way to spend resources and developers will never be able to keep up. We've seen it in other games like WoW before and the same thing is happening here. It likely won't change though because Yoshi has even stated he is fine with people playing for a couple of weeks after a patch and then unsubbing until the next patch. With expansions being just a large patch like this and just new tome grinding with no new different content/horizontal progression people get bored fast. Pure vertical vs pure horizontal progression both have their perks, I just wish XIV could at least find more of a middle ground.

Never happen, they dug themselves a hole with this regearing nonsense every few weeks....

i still think that can change, there are so many posts about this problem, there were during 2.0 and we have them now.It really is sad because i think they really destroy their content with it. I mean... why bother with so many things, you work for somethign and before you even finished with it, its a new ilvl...

lol yeah at least that is justice. if we have to grind on the never ending tradmill of gearprogression, the devs will also never have a real happy playerbase cause they are programming on content that is outdated the very day it gets live.

Me playing FFXIV at the moment.

Woohoo, Rank 6 FC, I can now buy land and build a house.....oh I can't, there's none available.

It's okay I'll sign up for PVP instead....30 minutes later. Eeesh still waiting.

No problem I'll go to the Golden Saucer there's lot of fun things to do there....nope, no one is racing Chocobos because it sucks. The mini games don't add anything interesting and 3 of the gates are just poor.

That's fine I'll just play some games of cards with the ones I have obtained....oh, I can't use them, I have to grind card games to use the cards I have, giving my friends who play the game much more than me a huge advantage.

Back to levelling gathering, seeing how many times I can push the X button in an hour is as much fun as I can have.

I dont know how you feel bored, too me a long long long long long long time to get my classes to 50, to get my gatheres to 50, to equip them (I havnt finished yet), started with 2.0 and still I am far from finished everything there is to do in this world. Maybe becasue I dont play 24h a day ? but just like 4 or 5h a day, that I am not feeling bored lol. I am still not Ilvl170, wont be for another couple of weeks, my gatheres are barely at 52 and my artisans barely at 51 for only a couple of them.

How on earth can you get bored ? when I am tired of gathering, I move to dungeons, when I am tired of dungeons i move to artisans when Iam tired o artisans I move to hunting....and there goes almost a day...I miss something here..

If you mean repetitive is boring you, I can understand that, but saying there is nothing to do is kind of well not really true at all, just me though

the only thing that for me is unacceptable is the RNG that came with the Relic, for that reason I never did the relic quests, tried once, spend too much time for getting nothing and for that reason I will not play anything that involves RNG the way it did and to an extend does still involved it in the Relic. If anything like that is introduced again, I will surely not do it at all. But all considering, that too can be something else to do, adding to the non boring of the game as a whole.
