Horse, Bird and Dog farmers.

People with bad luck. The totem system was implemented after enough players were shown running primal fights well past 100 times trying to earn the mount. It's a QoL thing.

I believe that it was said for all the emotes based on Squadron activity (pushups, at ease etc.) are rewards from Squadron dungeon runs. And I think that all of these emotes apply.

That would mean that none of these emotes are mogstore emotes, nor can they be gotten in any way other than taking the squadron on missions. I wouldn't really mind that. Would let me learn tanking with constant-quality party that wouldn't complain when we die due to me experimenting, with me not feeling guilty that I tried to do something new and wasted peoples time when I knew how to go past it, even if not necessarily efficiently.
If players do get experience for them, even if the same as running them normally, that would be a big bonus.

For that reason as well, I wouldn't mind to see even if the squadrons did catch up to the new content. Don't want to drop everyone out?! Cool. Have the new content not drop anything/not give experience...but could still be run for practice and squadron leveling/rewards alone. Though, this is something for a rather distant future, as there's quite a lot to catch up to.


Also, MMO, as massive multiplayer online, have nothing to do with players playing with each other per see. It's about how the players are connected. Instead of few players connected to one of them like in the old age, MMO just assumes that numerous players are connected to a specific third party server and thus many of them can be online at the same time. That doesn't really even mean you need to be able to play with each other. As long as they are "there somewhere" at the same time as you.

As for the person that so vehemently complains about this in this thread...Don't like it, don't play it. It won't affect you. There are people like you that won't like it and won't play it. You will be able to find parties all the same. Possibly the queue time will be affected, but it very well may make it even better for you, instead of worse. And hey, the people you WILL play with may be the ones wanting to be social, instead of the ones forced into that. So you can be under the illusion of the game becoming suddenly filled with social people instead of the reverse.

Before making big complaints about something (especially something that is not even clearly explained), at least try and think of the REAL consequences instead of just following some random shallow idea "solo content in MMO game = kills the game". You have put absolutely no thought into what effect this feature would have on the game, and you still rant about it foretelling death to the game...Good thing you are not a developer for FFXIV. Many fun features that could make the game universally better would have no chance of being made otherwise.

I dunno why mounts are so important that someone would spend all their game time farming a single primal for weeks just to get one. everybody gets a chocobo.

The same for people that log in on a daily basis for hours, even tho they have nothing to do content wise, just to chat with their friends. everybody has family/friends/co workers etc in real life they could talk too. We could ask that question about anything and everything, if he enjoys farming birds for the next 5 years, well so be it, glad he found at least something to entertain himself with during patch breaks.

It's a goal like anything else. Plus if you collect them all you usually get a quest for a special mount (Kirin and Phoenix) which is like an extra reward for sticking through it the whole time.

People play MMO's for various reasons.

I'm missing 4 in-game minions (Shalloweye, Wind-up Bismark, Wind-up Scathach, and Brina), and 5 currently available in-game mounts (Centurio Tiger, Astrope, Reveling Kamuy, Battle Lion and Battle Panther); collecting all of them is a goal for me. Sure it is for many people.

Others really like how one in particular looks and really want it. Nothing wrong with that

That.... would be absolutely, die-on-the-floor laughing, if it could happen even ONCE.

"Your squadron has dismissed you from the duty: Reason: Your feet STINK."

You don't pay my sub.

What else was there to do aside from clearing O1S-O4S every week?

Farm doggies, six minutes a clear.

Better than playing expert roulette with players that don't know how to play their job to cap tomes too.



You people getting mad at content you never even play, let alone ultimate content coming have no clue what it's like.
