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

Yoshi's quote:


This can easily be interpreted as unsub. Who is going to stop for a patch cycle and continue to pay while they aren't playing? Maybe if enough people listen to him, SE will change their minds on the formula. There's also a survey when youunsub. It's not perfect, but you can list running out of things to do as a reason. I did that last time I quit. I agree that SE should really approach expansions and patches differently, but I'm not sure they'll bother unless they see significant drops in revenue/subs.

Does not counter what I said. My point is he does not understand, at least this point if it was said in the last few months, people are tired with doing the SAME FORMULA, so it defeats itself where it says "next major patch" (proof it is not in to reference of what is being complained about here) when said next major patch is just a copy/paste of the last major patch.

Diadem was a disaster, entirely too much effort for little to no reward depending on your RNG. Chocobo Racing, is there even a point to this? Gold Saucer isn't exactly engaging content with interesting rewards. Palace was wildly successful, even if it is just used as a grindfest for leveling alt jobs. Crafting and Gathering are their own little world as far as I'm concerned. I do a bit of both, and for what it is I enjoy it.

I'm not talking about mini-games. I'm talking about end game content and repeating that same content in the same pattern for the next two years which if what we've seen so far is any indication of the remainder of SB, is exactly whats going to happen. I can plan my entire expansion gameplay out right now without even seeing the future patches, because they are going to release the same content in the same pattern again.



Good, I'm glad you're still enjoying yourself. If what they are doing works for you, great. I'm just not enjoying doing the same content with a fresh coat of paint.

I think at this point it is proven people will say no to change.
*10 years from now, a new group of people thinking about quitting due to same formula*
"It has been working for 14 years so why change it?"
*only this neglects the high turnover rate and it works because of new people coming in*

Even if they are "happy" they do not want to make suggestions to make the game better? makes no sense to me.
