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

[starLivitation]

Just wondering what the others think. like 1.0 this game had some nice graphics and music. but it was lacking a few things. sure ARR was good improvement over 1.0 but with 3.15 relic quest i was dispaointed to see lack of content again, not a single piece of new content to accomidate the relic quest.

When i did the zeta, while it was anoying at the rehash of contect, i still did it because i could use a weapon that has some nice stats, so there was incentive. this time around, i do not even see the need for new weapons. sure A3S has a dps check but i only entered like once or twice, never had a static capable to challange it anyway.

When i look at the contect we have, there is nothing much to support me staying, except social activities with my FC/Community.

Compared to FF11, there was a trillion thigngs to do there, quests and missions. missions that actually involved us thinking, solving puzzels and doing intresting fights , and not just doing a single dungen/ hunting log to advance a rank or a fate grind for seals.

After playing for 2 years i am not sure what i am waiting for, because it's just going to be the same, there is no new ideas or any new content other than story and a few nicly desiged dungens, that can be completed even if ur semi-afk.

It is for me. I've been continuously subbed since 2.0 released. I haven't had fun with this game for about 5 months now, since I finished the 3.0 story. My fc has gone from 30 people logged in at once to 10 on a really good day. Most of my friends still playing are only doing so because others are, not because they really enjoy the game. After 3-4 months of bashing my head against AS3, this is the final straw. I'm done, I cancelled and that will be it. My fc and our friends are now debating over what MMO to move to. If we're playing for each other we might as well have fun playing something together rather than deal with grind after grind. This relic is an insult to everyone still playing. We really like ff14, unfortunately ff14 doesn't seem to like us anymore.

This is a very broad generalization. I don't mind the new relic, same as alot of my FC, I don't mind the grind and this statement most certainly not apply to every FF14 players.

I am never usually one to complain 2.5/3.0 was such a high note...how has things now took a turn for the worse? :/

According to this forum, it's supposedly been dying since 2.x

Is it actually? Nope. Not even remotely.

I don't believe the game is at the end of its life, far from it. The game has been alot of fun for me last few years but I really get the vibe that SE only puts in half the effort they could.

Really seems any type of new content that comes in, its really half-assed. Lacking any type of creativeness A really great example is the Golden Saucer, this had pretty big expectations from the player base, and it was pushed back so many times yet- yet the results have been very disappointing, to myself and many who have shared their opinion.

The endgame is really lacking and for a lot of us the endgame is what matters to us. Its very bland in some areas (like gear) cant remember last time I was excited about raiding aside from hanging out with some friends.

I am hoping for another 10 years, lol
Reality is maybe 5 or so years possibly? Not sure tbh what they all have planned, there is lots of potential

I do not know the running opinions of everyone in my fc. But personally, I don't like this. I don't like what is being backed here. And I feel like its pointless to expect anything different than, this game touting itself as less fun and more obligation.

Just because the game does not meet your personal expectations on a .05 patch does not mean its going to die. You're not a special snowflake.
