Lack of End Game Content

[Catwho]

It might be interesting for content that would need farmed pops, if there was a random chance that a gatherer could be the one to acquire it, not just via battle. Imagine building a kirin pop set like in XI, but one starter pop would have to be crafted, one pop would have to be fished, and two other starter pops from normal battle content. Not unlike how the S rank in North Shroud is technically spawned by someone fishing up a specific fish.

After looking over this thread, I think it's funny how many things have been ruled out of the "end game content" list that are clearly things created to do when there is no new iLvl gear to grind. Like Choco racing, or triple triad, or majong....or anything else. This game has a ton of repeatable content that can be done solo or in groups. I don't think the problem is with the game. I think it's your definition.

Ive done all these things....its fluff bro im not here to sugar coat anything. Ive done all choco racing love triple triad (even tho not many people play it sadly). This is about what can i do with the character i spent time powering up in a end game battle setting. No disrespect to anyone but is this really that hard to comprehend or is it truly not being explained thoroughly enough??

it's that you are just arguing for more hamster wheel. I need to make my character more powerful so i do stuff, but the rewards are always to make the character even more powerful. So you need new things to show how powerful you are, which also need to have rewards that make you more powerful, ad infinitum...

hamster wheel.

If you actually took the time to read the thread, you might have picked up most of them don't want the hamster wheel. They seem to want something with some challenge and longevity to it. There are a few other aspects that each would also like, but the key elements are challenge and longevity. Something more in tune to a player willing to dedicate a bit more time to the game. Any gear that comes from the content is just an added perk.

Just ignore people like him, this is either his first mmo or he's never made it to actual end game content in other mmos. At this point you guys have explained end game content enough even a monkey could understand it.

OT: I completely forgot about relics, that's just how big of a joke they are. They could be so much more or actually useful it's weird all the work that's put into it, just for it to ultimately be glamour. I also had high hopes for Eureka and I liked the grinding there (don't kill me) since I mained monk and that was a more fast paced class. I didn't like the leveling system though, it's almost as if they can't make engaging content without nerfing you and or taking your levels away.

Eh at this point I don't expect anything, I mainly come back to xiv during the start of xpacs and usually leave after the first "raid" tier. =/

This basically explained my situation as well. I only fought in this thread so hard because this game has so much potential to add some fresh content and eureka was initially huge sign of hope...yet here we stand. I agree with you about relic...i dont believe for one sec that giving relic some unique properties other than glamour would break the game especially since not everyone would obtain it.

Content that can be done throughout the game is not end game content. Just apply the concept anecdotally - saying you're indulging in "end game content" at level 20 on day 2, when you're job or character is far away from the end game, is a silly idea. You can't change the definition of a term so that it better matches your world view.
