Like any other game before it? From table top D&D to 3.1, RNG is a mainstay, get over it. FF5 casting Return over and over to steal the 2% chance dragon lances to defeat neo-shinryu was not different than getting the zodiac drops for my Ragnarok. I <3 #RNGesus.

Don't forget weekly and daily lockouts

If 3.1 includes Hildibrand Season 2 then it will be magnificent.

As long as he doesn't depart vertically again.

That'll be the Season 2 Finale again. But this time he'll end up in like Churning Mists or Sea of Clouds... and depart vertically DOWN.

Is there a summary for what 3.1 will have?

-Green gatherer/crafter scrips for even more fun. New moonstones II and impossible to make needing gazillions in gear and totally omnicrafting dependant specialist actions that will make the few standing crafters leave.
-More booring, repetitive, coma inducing beast tribe quests dependent on FATE spawn.
-More relic, thats bad enough as it is.

Time lockouts, grind, weekly caps, grind, RNG, RNG, and spice it up with some grind.

Wow, I think maybe you should play another game if you feel this way.

Why? He's not exactly wrong. Some of the design decisions that have went into FFXIV's added content have been pretty bad. Not liking raids and relic notwithstanding, he just cherry-picked all the bad decisions that are likely to be seen in large content patches based on FFXIV's content patch history: broken and overly grindy minigames, crafting and gathering grind (they seem insistent on keeping the scrip system, after all), daily quests involving FATEs making us wait and twiddle our thumbs until they spawn.

By no means am I sick of the game, but I'm also not blind to its blatant flaws. The grind in FFXIV is real. A little too real. And RNG doesn't help make the grind feel any better.
