Who else is bored? Same Content and Formula...Was SB a waste of money?

[Kallera]

No developer was ever quoted to say that SB would have a 3x larger budget compared to HW.

But this really doesn't feel like they've put money back into it.

I Agree with the , "using old area's for new content", the game is amazing, and I think it would be good to do a few things. 1, add flying to older zones "same requirements or either tracking, but allowing max players to travel quicker", and push players to kill or quest in older zones, not just story/main but some hunts etc. like fate's have u lvl-sync, I see this as keeping everyone engaged in older zones, a lot of folks have missed out on some of the older zones. just my .02

The complaint is, if I join some of my other friends in raid on an alt job to help them out after I have done it on my main. We both lose out on loot. So if a good friends static needs a healer for example, and I already did it on my SAM, I can't go help them and have some fun because it will harm more than help.

Now this I can see the issue the loot rules for raiding is very stupid

The reason this game will die is cause its name "Final fantasy".
If you are smart enough you sure know why.

Because FFXIV is not a particularly interesting game to watch? Plenty of games with large followings don't perform well on Twitch simply because the game doesn't having viewership appeal. That doesn't necessarily speak to the quality of the product. Now I certainly won't deny XIV could improve upon some of its more... repetitive aspects, though I'm not bothered by most of them. For me, I enjoy those "boring" Savage fights and trials far more than anything Black Desert offered. But to each their own.

This. MMO gameplay is generally not fun to watch, with PvP being the exception.

Now I can't say I don't dislike the way SE is doing things, but that's a separate point from number of Twitch viewers and how fun FFXIV is to watch.

I find watching others play ANY game is boring(unless it's a short guide to help me figure something out - hidden chest, solve a puzzle I've spent hours on, getting those super strong end game weapons in single player RPGs - though I am watching and doing at same time). Had an argument with someone because I said "I don't see the appeal of watching someone else play a game while you do nothing yourself"...they couldn't understand that it's my feelings on the matter and not me telling them to stop doing so and do it themselves.

WoW has Mythic+ dungeons that you farm to death for Artifact Power and a chance at legendaries. Trust me it gets boring as well.

I think its funny people complain about doing the same things over and over in XIV for loot, but then point to WoW and Diablo 3 as better alternatives... where you do the sames things over and over for loot.

Does not compute.

The grass is always greener...but in the MMO cases the grass is usually exactly the same – just a using a different art style.

Just wait until SE adds blitz ball in-game
