Let the community mods know what you think !

So, the game is dying, eh? Don't like the new relic quest? Tired of the same grind these tomes every week repetitive cycle? Have anything else that grinds your gears that you would like to see changed?

Please post your suggestions here in this thread. Now maybe I'm wrong and it's unnecessary because the community mods can read the many threads that have already been created where everyone has voiced their opinions and concerns, however, it seems that it could be easier for the Community Mods to pore over how everyone feels about the current state of the game if everyone were to post their concerns in one thread. Thus this thread is being created.

I expected very grindy content when it comes the new relic quest so I'm not surprised nor am I necessarily disappointed, however I feel it's a bit absurd what is required. Also, due to the amount of grind, the reward should be much greater, in my opinion. I already have a ilvl200 weapon and when gobdip can be acquired through means other than Alex Savage the weapon I have will be easily upgradeable to ilvl210 so I'm not seeing any point to the relic quest other than having a glowing weapon, and if I'm not mistaken the relic quest requires a grind while having a ilvl170 weapon equipped? Correct me if I'm wrong, please, but if that's the case why would we want to gimp ourselves just to progress with upgrading a weapon that isn't any better than what we already have or what we will soon have the ability to acquire through much easier means.

Also, I'm tired of the tome grind. Run the same handful of dungeons, over and over and over and over just to upgrade gear/weapons that will be irrelevant in probably about 6 months so that we can go back to the same style grind for the same rewards but with each stat having +5 added to it, or maybe a different secondary stat like, for example, Determination rather than Crit Rate.

This is getting ridiculous. If anyone is listening please, for the love of the twelve, pass it on to the dev team that we're tired of the same formula. It's not working anymore.

I'm not threatening to quit, far from it. I'm just hoping that if we can provide enough feedback we can bring about change. This game has a lot of potential and while I do enjoy the game, I just wish that we could have more fun ways of making progress towards making our characters more powerful.

Rather than grind for tomes, or run one 24 man dungeon to get BiS gear, I would love to see something more along the lines of Sky, or Dynamis, from FFXI. I would love to see more horizontal progression. However, as it is, and if the same formula continues to be followed, we'll continue to do nothing but grind tomes, run Alex or something similar, and run bland 24 man raids to earn our gear for many years to come. I know I didn't mention Diadem. Not a big fan of that either. In my opinion you can send 72 monkeys out to the Diadem islands and they could grind mobs and get BiS gear because it's just...that....easy. There's really no thought involved. Pull dinos, button mash until they are dead while avoiding mechanics, receive BiS gear if enough damage was done, profit?

Anyway, that's just my 2 gil. I strongly encourage you to donate yours!

My comments are similar to yours, I'm tired of the tomes, and the relic is simply too much work of the same grind from 6 mos for too little reward.

I do not want to quit, take a break perhaps, but I do want them to know that this is not ok. I am not enjoying the game this way.
