Tired of the Same ol' Formula...

FFXI didn't do that. Every mob in that game was useful, even in dynamis..every mob had the chance to drop AF2 or a purpose for the most part

Lets not reference XI. It wasn't as popular as XIV for a reason.

I don't think the repeated structure is the problem. There is just too much stuff that isn't incentivized. No1 does treasure maps because nothing good comes from them. No1 does hunts because you don't really need lvl 180 gear anymore. You can skip over to 190-200 stuff. No1 does fates because they made it very easy to get the 10 levels from 50-60.

Relic weapon might change this some. Might give people more of a reason to do these things. But with how easy it is to get esoteric weapon a lot of people might not even bother with relic, myself included.

No one does treasure maps? I do them, and everyone in my FC does them. They drop lots of good things I don't know what you're talking about. o.O

No one does fates because they made 50-60 easy? 50-60 on an alt class takes about as long as 1-50 does, how is that 'too easy'? If anything it's ridiculously monotanous. And how do you say no one does fates? I have fate parties on my server 24 hours a day, that's an awful lot of people doing them.

As for hunts, people still spam hunt linkshells and every hunt mob that spawns on my server is killed within 5 minutes of it spawning usually. Again, rather odd for something 'no one' does.

Like are we playing the same game? Your entire post is just blatantly wrong.

Also it's pretty obvious that relic will be much better than the esoteric weapon very quickly, or did you not pay any attention to the 2.0 relic? lol
