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

[Snow_Princess]

You are only looking at the short term. People ran content because everything was new and Verity was only intended to last a month. By the time Savage released, people were already running out of things to spend Verity on hence why the devs made all the current 320 crafted gear require Verity. Creation, on the other hand, is meant to last for several months; until 4.1 where it's then supplemented by Ivalice gear. Furthermore, Verity was the lowest ilvl available whereas Creation is second highest. Whywould anyone run Omega after a few weeks when it drops inferior gear? That's why the cap exists. It's to artificially incentivize content people wouldn't continuously do-- a philosophy which has proven effective every single time they've implemented it. When Heavensward released, no one touched Crystal Tower until the Anima sent us back there. No one does synced EX Primals from previous content, thus Wondrous Tales allowed new players to clear it since pony and bird farms typically disagree bonus. Cracked Clusters improved Leveling Roulette queues. Like it or not, people tend to follow the "carrot on a stick" approach.

I did no such thing. You simply cannot grasp the concept not everyone agrees with you. I couldn't care less if you gear as quickly as me. I have long argued against the notion raiders should always have better gear because I don't care. I disagree with tomestones being uncapped because content needs the incentive for people to continuously spam it. You can tell me all you fancy, but that doesn't make it an accurate assessment. As noted above, content lacking an incentive gets ignored. Alexander and Coil are dead. Void Ark is more or less dead. Why? No reason for anyone to do them. How many people will queue into Omega normal two months from now with uncapped tomestones being superior in every facet, be it ilvl or grind efficiency or cost? That doesn't inherently mean FFXIV couldn't improve its content, but there will always be a limit. The devs simply cannot develop enough content to accommodate how fast we consume it. Either way, Yoshida has already mentioned adding new things in the coming patches. So we shall have to wait and see how that unfolds.

All this being said, I find it rather ironic you whine in what is now two threads about people "putting words in your mouth" only to presume my only reason for disagreeing with you is because I care if you catch up to my gear progression when I made no such insinuations. Alas, I have said all that needs be said and arguing further gets either of us nowhere. So I'll let this be now.

They did not do it for the reasons you said, they did it because it is the same formula used for 4 years.

"I find it ironic" when you say " You simply cannot grasp the concept not everyone agrees with you. " when that very thing applies to you. You can't see people get tired of doing the same thing over and over again for 4 years? You can't honestly sit there and say "we need keep doing the same thing because it works"???????????? It only appears to "work" because it is a short term system. It will tire people out and will collapse, hard, sometime in the future. This thread is evidence of the first dominoes falling.

For the last bit, I did that on purpose so you know how it feels, I am sick of it. please do not do it to me anymore. It is not the first time you did that to me. So no, it does not fit what ironic means.

I am bored also...its not that the game is bad or anything, its just this long of the same formula..although it feels a bit better,I think its finally reached its peak for me. I'm not bitter or gonna rage or anything...I am just losing interest in the game. Been playing other games, working on my career and going out..its a lot more enjoyable. Don't think I will ever return to this game "full time" again. No dancer in the expansion either..I was hoping they'd release it before I got bored of the game entirely..oh well.

Again, deny all you want, (sorry Tilla Eversong/ iromi none of this is directed to you, just using your quoted to Cassandra Solidor/Bourne_Endeavor) but a lot of people feel this, that is why things need changing, the only one looking at short term is you when you say "it works" it works because it is a short term system. You cannot keep copy and paste the same thing and expect people to stay. Is your real biases for "disagreeing" is because you simply dislike change? It needs changing, we can't be doing the same thing over and over again that we have been for the last 4 years.
