Need/Greed needs to be fixed!

Oh no, I totally understand your view. I've been on that soap box in the past. But eventually I grew to understand the system isn't changing, and there's absolutely no point in it. If you've been playing this game for a few months or a year, I'd say you're still new enough not to understand. But since you come off as someone who's been playing awhile, you should know the system hasn't changed since coil. So get off your soap box and stop playing the game and unsub, or live with it. The system hasn't changed since coil, and it's not gonna change now. Don't fix what ain't broken.

Uhm... did you forget this is an mmo? Hello? EVERYTHING takes time to achieve. Want endgame raid gear? Weekly clear and farm. Want tome gear? Farm. Want BiS weapons? FARM. Again, you're not the only person throughout the history of 2.0, 3.0 and 4.0 that has made this suggestion. And you know what hasn't changed? The way things are in endgame content. Congratulations! You found the answer! You're preaching to the already converted, but nothing is bound to change. If you're not happy, unsub and take some time off and come back, or quit altogether. As someone who's been around the block for as long as this game's been in 1.0's hand (being in 1.0 up until now), outside of 1.0's content related trash shoot, the rest of the series is just meant to be kept longevity. Everything will uncap a few weeks prior to the next patch ilvl or expansion, which again, hasn't changed format since 2.0. Welcome to MMO's in general.

Don't try to pretend you're the only person who's thought about the same answer quick fixes. I'll be the first to tell you, YOU'RE NOT. Let me remind you that most of the content related issues come from 1.0, and that this game STILL continues using 1.0 coding. Which breaks a lot of things in the game, or leaves room for holes. Happens a lot. Again, something you might not understand, seeing as you might not have been around from 1.0 to gauge that at the time. But it's a common issue in the game. And unless they decide to update the coding (which won't happen unless they delete this game too), the 1.0 coding will still cause flare damage when they test and release new content into the game that's not already been implemented. 1.0 coding is the new "PS2 limitations" of FFXIV.

You're too impatient. the game is designed this way to keep people around as much as possible. Whether your personal friends list is empty or devoid of people being online is not for you to decide whether the game is "in the minority" as you put it.

The issue with your statement is that the roulettes often force you to do the same dungeons and its been like that for years...
Please don't give me the excuse that you still find those dungeons as exciting as you once thought they were many years ago when you first played them.
I must have done satasha like 200 times allready... so no it's not easy to keep doing the same dungeons just to get those tomestones.
Another sollution would be that SE changes the maps for roulettes

I never said I found them exciting. Don’t strawman. You want to get your tomestones? The fastest way is 5 Expert Roulettes a week. Expert doesn’t give you Sastasha, btw. Leveling Roulette is terrible for current tomestones, as it only gives 5.

[SXTC]

Satasha is an example since leveling roulette is one of the oldest, to give you an idea that the dungeons you get on roulettes never changed much.
For me its mentally very hard to persuade myself to do a dungeon I did so many times before cuss that makes it highly boring. I often catch myself falling asleep during a dungeon just because I'm fed up with them.
So no I wouldn't call it "fast" unless you refer to fast asleep. It's hard to finish a dungeon without falling asleep cuss if you do.. you miss out on those tomes anyway cuss ppl will kick you
This is what happens if you spend over 3000 hours on these roulettes xD

Then mix in other things that give you current tomestones—Eureka, other roulettes, maps, Savage, farm Extreme trials, etc.. It’s not like it’s hard to come by them.

Honestly, you seem to just be making excuses. I find Expert Roulette as boring as the next guy, but I can at least manage to take 20 mins out of my evening to do one of them. Not that big of a deal.

I actually agree with OP. I don't agree that we should get more than one item from raid, but I do think that something needs to be done about gearing multiple jobs. Endgame currently promotes the idea of having one job that is BiS while the game itself promotes the idea that you can play everything on one character. What that means is that the majority of content is "catch-up" and doesn't serve any purpose unless you are specifically catching up.

I feel like the Devs need to take a serious look at the ilvl system because it limits content rewards way too much. As much as people rag on eureka, it's reward structure makes it valuable to do, and rewarding no matter what type of player you are.

Eureka is the most boring thing out there that takes most of your time so thats impossible for me. We do weekly treasure hunts for the same reason cuss then we can have fun in VC and still earn some.... but there's a damn cap on gathering tomestones aswell.. otherwise we'd do maps twice a week... This game is muted to stay boring to some extent and the only reason I play today is for my friends on this game. So yes, I'm trying to help make this game more exciting and not just for me but for others who also might have played this game soo long they are in need of a WOW factor.
As for what Lambdafish said, I agree that the current droprate is ok "if" there would be a chance that a rare item drops. I'm sure that a lot of people would play longer knowing they would be in the center of attention if they are able to gain enough unique gear.

I already addressed that. I wasn't talking about the content, simply the reward structure. Eureka has logograms, lockboxes, heated/cold lockboxes, rare items from NMs (cassies earrings as an example), relic weapons, and story that make it valuable to many players. Imagine if content that actually had fun gameplay had a reward structure that was respected that way.
