Your post reminds me of another infamous screencap from this forum that I see passed around on the internet



You going to ask them to explore every area right down to the last X, Y and the newly added Z co-ordinates for height?

This made me laugh harder than it normally should've lol. But yeah, that checklist is stupid because not everyone likes certain things. I for one hate fishing so much that I would /wrist then to actually fish. (A bit extreme yes I know, I just really hate fishing in any game.)

For me, I rather SE halts the iLv increase and at least dedicated one patch to pure fixes and QoL. But some people just love doing the same old grind sadly.

If you don't do half of the stuff PROVIDED by the game, why are you even playing it? Is it really worth paying a monthly fee for doing.....not much?

If you not satisfied, you are playing the wrong game, something that is not catered for you. That's not the games fault but it's the owner. Specially when its quoted extremely dedicated player.

There's stuff for everyone in this game. Crafting, combat and gathering
Why are you wanting to force me someone who likes Battle content to go and do gathering? That doesn't interest me and you don't have any right to say this isn't the right game for people, that's borderline white knighting. FYI, I do the story content, all the battle content I can do, cap my tomes by Thursday and play something else.

People here are complaining about the REPETITION of the parts they enjoy the most in this game and are suggesting SE to see about fixing it to keep the content they enjoy relevant, like the above mentioned dungeons on the world map people can walk into and explore for loot and fight rare monsters. Asking a crafter to go and do A8S is silly and not very

People hate repeating the content they like...

...and ask for content to stay relevant for a long time (so they have to repeat it a lot). A bit of a contradiction is it not? Do tell if I misunderstood what you were saying.

Fighting rares sounds fun. I've done it before and enjoyed it between other content. However a lot of people make it sound like the be all end all content that everyone would love to grind forever. It's not. WoW had rare monsters roaming the world map and people just sought them out, killed them one by one for loot and looked up guides for the hard ones. Once they had the loot they wanted it was dead content for those people. Do you have any suggestions how to keep battle content "relevant" once the loot has been obtained? Bear in mind it can't take too long to get the loot or else people complain it's too much effort (see relic). It also can't be cosmetic items and pricey items because then people don't deem it worthwhile to chase (see how the very recend addition of Aquapolis has been repeatedly and systematically ignored as content in this thread).

That's why this game got 0 longevity.
I'm sure nobody would complain with the relic taking a long time to obtain if it lasted you for at least one year or two(well, even 6 months could be good) instead of 1 month before being replaced by a token weapon

There is a big problem with relic lasting longer. Based on what was said about the relic and a4s I am lead to believe that the relic progression/longevity is directly tied to the staying power of raid rewards.

Since raiding gear has very little lasting power in this game, so must all the other types of content rewards. Until rewards last longer in general, the relic is probably fated to be a marginal bone of a weapon thrown to more casual players so they feel like they have a sense of progression. It will always just be a token weapon away from being pointless.

I would. I honestly hate how grindy the relic is now and prefer to get the token weapons instead. If relic was so irreplaceable, I'd feel even more pressure to work on the relic and the grind would be even longer? Hate the idea already.

I suggest monsters that drop randomized gear or like before small dungeons on the map that you can walk into explore and find loot and notorious monsters (FFXI and FFXII names) that also drop some neat stuff. What monster is in that dungeon today? What will it drop? It's more RNG, sure.

And I've only played an hour of WoW before going back to this game because I hated it, I wouldn't know what World of Warcraft has, sounds similar to Final Fantasy XI's notorious monsters that roam different zones and I love Aquapolis, it's been a new experience everytime I go in there, it's probably my favorite content from 3.3 and Deep Dungeon looks like it's going to be great too, more battle content lifted from Final Fantasy tactics, I love the fanservice in this game, anyways, but yeah Aquapolis is really good, I've not mentioned it in this thread until now because I think it's perfect and doesn't need changing I highly suggest other people try it out too.

That's why most serious topics are r/ffxiv or bust. It's impossible to actually talk with people here. Why kind of crazy advice is it to come on the OF forums, a place of feedback, and tell people providing feedback that if they have a problem with the game that they should not play?

These forums are just for /popcorn

Can't say I'm a fan of reddit, everytime I'm linked there it looks like it's just fluff junk and the upvote system just makes me think it's more hiveminded than this place but...It's looking like an option these days believe me, before you know it I may have an account there. Ironically I thought people came here for the serious discussion. Now I know why people in my LS say "the OF is at it again!"

No one is forcing anyone . The variations are there is YOUR choice to pick or don't pick. But don't come around to tell me that the game is repetitive and "boring" when a lot of us STILL enjoy the game to the max (doing EVERYTHING I can and PROVIDED by the game)

The game is not lacking. Remember this is MMO.
