I guess it's time

Can you both please stop talking about who is more expert about FFXI? It brings nothing to the topic except polluting it with unrelated off topic stuff.

Regarding the NMs/HNMs I think they tried to do that with the hunts, if they wanted to achieve that they failed miserably because all they do is drop lore and seals and not interesting pieces of equipment or something more rare that makes you scream "WOW see what I just got!" leaving you a sense of satisfaction for the whole day and even more.

I IS EXPERT!

On a more serious note. It is interesting that an "I am quitting cause" thread is getting so much attention. It goes to show that this is a topic that for whatever reason is on the forefront of people thoughts. Hopefully SE Dev are taking silent notice.

It's cuz honestly, this thread represents everyone's inner thoughts about the current situation of the game. Sooner or later, that inner voice was bound to come out lol.

I wouldn't say everyone's. But it can be interesting to read nevertheless, even if you often just groan at what people suggest for game changes.

Like, I personally don't actually care about the stats of an item. I just wanna see at a glance if it's an improvement or not, so I can quickly decide whether to take it or leave it. Whether the improvement is due to a proc, some hidden ability, synergy with other stuff, more overall stats or whatever, I don't actually care - just make it obvious which is better and I'm golden. To me, stats have never been more than a tool to clear content and what got me really excited about items has always been the looks. In the end, my endgame has always been glamour and this game caters to this very well.

I also rather like gear acquisition via tokens like tomes because I LOATHE RNG with every fiber of my heart. I don't mind working for items, but I prefer making steady progress towards them, rather than having a binary yes/no drop. Thus, I really like the latest relic steps. Atmas on the other hand can suck it >.> And you can guess what I think of "rare, awesome drops". I'm already getting immensely frustrated with the little RNG we have. Then again, I named myself Jinx for a reason. It's not a new issue.

So...more content, sure, gladly. Who wouldn't like more content? Can wholly agree with that. But overall, I have to say I'm happy with how many of the game systems work and I can't say I want to change my gameplay all too drastically because the game changes to support it less.
