SE better do something or the game will drop dead

No offence intended KaiKatzchen as i wasnt referring to any post and i have read all of them on this thred upto this point, im talking about the gamers in general, everyone complained even in FFXI, no matter if we got something 90% liked, it wasnt enough and noone was ok with something, and the other 10% would hate on it.

Most of the "Elite" crews think that having a weapon from doing a boss battle makes you elite, or spending hours upon hours aquiring the hard to get weapons somehow makes you elite, and i admit i had a bunch of endgame weapons/armors for FFXI, but i was nothing if not embarrassed for spending so much time getting them.

I was just saying, focusing only on endgame content is a major drawback i think they devs should consider, they make the hard to get items take years to get, cause they want you to spend your whole life getting it, when i would rather be playing the game.

Content doesnt mean another boss battle every 3 months, and i wanted to make sure and clarify that, content is 20-50 more quests for levels 1-50 every few weeks, till theres so much to do people never can say they are bored.

and honestly, 20 quests in 2 weeks seriously is not asking much, it doesnt take long to script something like that in, do a quest test to make sure all aspects flow through the npcs evenly and submit it to the game servers.

and before anyone says anything, yes i have experience programming my own personal games just for fun, as im sure many other gamers have tried now and then, and i do know the difficulties in getting things to work sometimes.

I also have nothing but respect for the devs and hope they bring this game to fruition truely, as i am a current subscriber and would like to stay so, but thats my main gripe, its been out over a year and started a new character, only to find around 10 total quests in ALL cities, between levels 1-20, yes the game has bugs, but this amount of lack of content astounds me. I too am extreamly excited about the 2.0 plans and am excited to do all the things they talk about. I played FFXI since day 2 of its release and i want to do the same on FFXIV

You could give me hundreds of thousands of quests 1-50 every few weeks, I'd be bored.

The vast majority of quests in MMO's are horribly boring. Maybe people like endgame content because it is actually challenging, fun, and something you can do with a group of friends. Not just there to mindlessly kill time with like quests.


It doesn't take long to do those types of quests because they are simplistic and nothing but time sinks. The absolute bottom of the barrel in terms of quality content. Many people get zero enjoyment out of doing them, so it doesn't matter how many we get. Why don't you put that stuff in that game you are making for yourself. Some of us have higher standards for what constitutes entertainment than a fed ex quest, or crushing a pack of swamp rats for 10 different reasons/people a week, and we also play these MMO's.

Excuse me while I play the game how I like to play it.
