is this game near the end of it's life?

don't like how there is nothing new with the quest. we were told they'd heard our desires for attaining relic like 2.0...and yet here we are

I say they did no 3 well. They amazed me with what they keep pulling in 3.xx so far. Although baffled would be more fitting.

All I know is I have zero enthusiasm left for the "content" they're feeding us. The game is making me go brain dead with how boring and uninspired it is and I have tried my hardest to cling to what is left to enjoy. If they don't turn things around and remember how to make quality content, things are going to go bad.. and all that will be left are the bots and the little children who don't see how bad things have become.

You'd figure with the complaints made every single day, and the same examples given countless times would get 1 response.

Never is. Probably never will be.

Is the game nearing the end of it's life? Yup.

All because it needs another system overhaul which the developers are obviously not going to do. Which is why content is being delayed to make it seem like it's fine-tuning, it's not. It's just another stick on the carrot trying to get you to pay as much as possible till you give them money and not develop it any further.

What happened to the whole "Oh you kill this summon, and you can use it in this fight" promised since the start of 2.0 in every interview it was mentioned. Never happened.

Relic killed me because you had to do all the low level content... Just another way to not develop new interesting content for the sake of getting more money.

Everyone needs to wake up and god damn see the big picture. There aren't going to be anymore major overhauls.

Considering everything was planned to 4.0, yeah don't expect any.

And if 3.0 has taught us anything so far, it's gonna be a let down.

well i think the developers are in denial. yes they know some are not happy, but there was a few people supported the previews grind festivble of zeta and atma, and those people are also fed up with this this time around. i wonder when the developers will notice , this time around it's majority unfavor this grind of fates and old dungens for a relic and how unspecial the experience is, to grind thousdand of tomes and allied seals and silly beatribe quests.

Of course it's not dying.

However, I do think it's in a very unfortunate place. FFXIV is all out of grace periods. Salvaging 1.0, learning things through 2.x patches, first expansion, first expansion patch...at this point I think it's reasonable to expect them to have their act together but I'm not sure even THEY really know what kind of content they want to put out. :/

A fellow FFXIV player posted this on FFXIV group on FB:

If people have not realized SE designed this game for casuals, then they need to unsub. SE, at the end of the day, is a business and they have a target market, which happens to be their casual players. This has been very obvious from the beginning of FFXIV. Someone had stated, "Hardcore players make up a very small percentage of the population." Do you understand what that means to a business? Not a damn thing because those players are not making them money. All of the hardcore players could unsub right now, and the company would still profit. HOWEVER, the same can not be said if all of the casual players unsubbed. With that being said, SE does not gamble. They would not risk jeopardizing a large percentage of their players designing content that is harder than casual. If you are a hardcore player, FFXIV is not for you.
