FFXIV has an endgame problem and it needs to be changed

[Cybralisk]

Play 11 then. idk what to tell you. Square is not going to change a formula that is more profitable than 11.

FFXI had an amazing endgame, that kept people playing for years. FFXIV has an endgame set on repeat that people are already complaining about. Farm the same two dungeons over and over, cap tomes for gear. reset in 3 months and do it again for gear with slightly higher of the same boring stats. The raids are useless, no point beating your face on savage alexander when the gear is the same stuff you can get with eso currency with a different look.

Go to World of Warcraft and see that they had their content on repeat as much as ff14, except worse. They have been 10 times more successful than 11 ever could be, so this formula obviously does work despite how people feel about it. 11 was a good game for its time, but the consumers have changed and hardcore raiding is no longer appealing. no one wants to waste their time on possible fights anymore, no one wants to spend 18 hrs on a boss fight, no one wants to spend 7 hrs a day just to get a few levels or break a level cap that could take them weeks. I understand you want something challenging like 11, but those days are over. It is time to move on man. No one has the time anymore to set aside their life for a video game, but that is why 11 still is exist. Square does care still of the hardcore player. This is just a different game.
