So, how is Pagos?

Something I've noticed lately is a lot of requests along the lines of making Pagos more like Anemos.

But personally I feel Anemos was rubbish too. Yes, it had some minor good points and Pagos is far worse, but Anemos has a lot of flaws. It's linear and has minimal quests and story line and the gameplay has no variety, is unfriendly towards helping friends, unsuitable for ff14's combat rotations and gets boring rather fast. Once I completed my relic, I never went near Anemos again or wanted to. Not even to cap mendacity. Grinding mobs half-afk for half an hour at Hasmal or 45 minutes at Mono wasn't my idea of exciting.

Anyway, the phenomenon here that I've seen before in gaming is that a company will release a fairly poor piece of content. Players will dislike it. They'll then release a similar but far worse piece of content. Players will compare it to the previous piece of content and try to compromise, asking for the new content to be more like the previous one. After the company putting up a show of preferring the terrible content, they'll finally "listen" and revert it. Players then thank them for listening and happily jump into the second instalment of poor quality content. The company then consistently releases similar content (which is often cheaper to produce than enjoyable content). The players accept it.

I don't buy it. I didn't like Anemos. I really don't like Pagos. The entire system needs to be looked at and never happen again. It's not fun, nor worth paying a subscription to play.

Just my personal opinion.
