Content release

[Mycow8me]

These threads make me reminisce of my ffxi days that will probably never happen again due to todays attention span and instant gratification. I guess part of that is a decline in free time among the older mmorpg gamers. Do I have to adult... Pls don't make me adult today.

I've never understood peoples desire to chase higher ilevels. Once you hit the character level cap (70) the literal only thing that changes with ilevel is the size of the numbers. No mechanics change, no abilities change, the way you play your job doesn't change, you ONLY get bigger numbers. Why not just cap the ilevel and make successive gear about glamour? At least thats different each patch.

I can't imagine an idea that would kill this game faster. The feeling of becoming more powerful is what keeps many people coming back throughout an expansion. If it were just glamour, almost all content creators would quit the game, all raids would be barren wastelands, and all that would be left are people RPing with glamour essentially turning the game into a chatroom with character models if there are even enough players to keep the server running on that alone.

I'm not even a hardcore raider. I'm still hoping I can defeat O3S, O4S, and Shinryu EX before the next major patch. But I would unsub the instant this game became leveling up for glamour only.

The game is designed in a specific way, they encourage people to stop playing once they finish content. They will never design content that will allow players to ever be more powerful than others, with the exception of savage and now the new bahamut trial. Its sad the only content we have are Relic grinds that seem to keep getting delayed each expansion. Im sure for 5.0 relic won't start until 5.3 at this point.

But yea don't ever expect anything to change, not for a long time if at all :/
