Why is "It's something to do" apparently a valid defense?

[Astral145]

if you dont want to work on your relic dont force others to do it

as long i have something in game to do i will do it no matter what kind of shit they put on it

so you like playing with shi'te? seriously if this is the best that SE can do for a MMO with the Legendary title of "Final Fantasy" then I guess I might as well scrub my Hard Drive so I can get rid of this infection we call FFXIV before it spreads to the rest of my games.

It's "if it's not fun, don't do it" and "at least I have something to do" but they ask you to farm content already in the game so why were you not already doing it? It's like they are admitting it's not fun but they're doing it anyway and actually defend it.

Maybe some people are content doing beastman quests, fates, dungeons, and raids as long as they get something out of it. Before 3.15, they weren't getting anything from it and now they are. 3.1 just added Void Ark and 2 dungeons for casual play. Go get your tomestones and your Mhachi Farthing, upgrade your 210 gear, and be happy? I don't understand the problem. People want casual content, then they do it in one day, then a week later they want more. Get over yourself. If you don't want to put in the effort to craft, or do relic, or raid. Then you go log off until the next patch lol.

Because people either have too much free time on their hands or they don't value it so they waste it with boring grind busywork in a game that is meant to entertain.

Humans are irrational creatures. Do not ask for a logical foundation to their behavior.

You do realize that the argument of "if you don't like it, then unsub" is probably one of the worst arguments there is in a P2P? Many of us have been struggling to find reasons to stay subscribed, because we realize what would happen if all of us just unsubbed. SE already has a skeleton crew running this game (considering it's size and scope) what do you think dropping profits would do? SE isn't the dev team; they won't care about the reasons, just the numbers. Your unsub argument is actually quite negative to the game's future longevity.

A lot of negativity in this thread... I ask the OP and everyone agreeing with the OP. Where will you go? Is there any other MMOs that even compare to what we currently have?
I support this game because it's the only MMO that is fun plus I want to support the game. There is no MMO out there that I want to play other than FFXIV.

dude, you make it sound like you need an MMO to function. There are other things to do. I can understand though, as I don't have many hobbies other than video games myself but there are plenty of other games I could have fun with instead. For instance, I'm playing through Persona 4 Golden instead and having a blast.

Where will I go? I 'unno, outside maybe.

You have a point many MMO follows the F2P Module. MOST Korean games are similar in terms of content and cash shops. Cash items having base on RNG. But being one of the better ones out there does not mean it is a game with quality (even if it was back then). People don't necessary have to find another MMO when they quit, they can simply move on with life. I mean just because there aren't no better games out there does not mean FF14 can stick to the way it is now, true? While I still love FF14 I think as of now, they need to really REALLY see why there is this outrage going on.

I was talking about MMOs... you can be subbed to FFXIV and play any offline game you want.
