I really dislike this thread. I think everyone is just upset because they are sick of Heavensward, and they know the next expansion is coming.

I know I'll miss Ishgard, so many elezen in one place is unlikely to happen again

Thing is, no one knows what to expect for the next expansion. Is this the one where SE finally breaks the feeling of monotony, or are we going to be given another step back with more time gates of the same content? a lot of people remember what 3.0 was, and their grivances with it.

It'd be a very bad situation if this was really the case, especially since we're just at 3.3 of the expansion.

You've got to believe, my friend!

I'm not really sick of Heavensward at all. I liked the MSQ overall. If anything, I think I am a bit burnt out on doing the same thing I have been doing for almost 3 years now with very little actually changing. The game feels somewhat stagnant.

Before anyone comments or asks, I am still here because I still have hope that things will improve.

I'd prefer some breaks to the monotony as far as gear acquisition and battle content options, but I'm nowhere near interested in watching this game turn into a "raid or bust" hardcore Chinese bot farm simulator. People always seem to think that casuals will just "git gud" if the only means left for them to progress is challenging or grindy content, but in my experience I've found that the majority of them "git gone" instead, and that's not something anybody should want.

I don't hate HW. Story is good. And the only decent thing the game has going for it. However the infrastructure and design decisions in this game since 2.0 is atrocious. Bland, boring, repetitive.

Boy I wish I was around for 1.0. Probably would have liked it while the game had a heart and soul despite a terrible launch.

Duty Finder - Duty finder should always be a secondary, at best, as means of completing content. Free Companies should be promoted and rewarded to the point that is reigns as the go to for recruiting members for a party. Party Finder should be second in this aspect followed by Duty Finder. It is simply too easy to get into the mindset of I won't see these people ever again and don't want to put forth the effort to bother with any time of conversation that will help distract me from remembering I've done this dungeon about 50 times already.
Communication - Typing is nice. However, especially with PS3 (Xbox maybe), voice communication should be the main method of communication. It's simply easier and it leads to more fun.
Exploration - Everything is a little too easy quest-wise when it comes to exploration while going from place to place. I don't have to roam around and accidentally see something i never saw before. I go from point A to a clearly marked point B in a straight line.

Content promotion - There is tons to do in the game. The promotion for a lot of events is horribad. Pvp and Verminion are good examples. Great potential to be something that people would stream as an exciting but relatively different mmo experience, but nope. Failed. Triple Triad can fall under this category as well. Implementation of all these things needs work as well.

In call of duty, you shoot people. It's been the same for over a decade. They promote playing with friends. Maps and types of in game content aren't nearly as vast as FFXIV. Voice communication makes everything easier. Their promotion is on point. The point A to point B is non-existent. Roam free players... roam free.
