why do people on this game hate old content?

[Jeeqbit]

The reason old content isn't liked is because 99% of players are not looking for challenge. They want to play casually and unsync old extreme and savage content to get the mounts, with no respect for how challenging it is if you do it minimum item level. They may do the current extremes and savage because they need to for the best gear, and then have the audacity to complain there is not much challenging content in the game when they unsynced everything.

That's just how it is unfortunately.

The only content people really hate is Praetorium and Aurum Vale. I mean the only reason people are not running Alexander Savage or E-Scape Savage is because the people who play that content did it already, and the only people left who haven't either don't have the time to work on it, or simply don't care about the content. Savage raiders make up probably 5-10% at most of the player base.

Also, to do older savage content the best Synced weapons usually are the end game relic weapons, which consume a lot of time to grind out. This goes for Ultimate as well.

I Understand your point, but I am not saying *you* or anyone has to go back and do them, but from my encounters from doing content with newer players is you have literally have sprouts doing os8 to unlock ultimate's without understanding the fight they did, and without doing any content synced there are a ton of discords that offer synced content to do. In my opinion we have 4-5 months until endwalker I'm sorry it doesn't take 4-5 months to clear 4 eden savages. However I understand your point I dont have a problem with unsynced content, HOWEVER it doesn't make new players better if you do a8s and unsync it and clear it in 1-2 minutes IMO

sadly it is so many wanna rush to newer content (which is fine), but a lot of them also do the older content unsynced it doesn't take months to learn Kefka maybe a week of fresh prog? Idk I just wish this game gave more incentive to new players doing older content and for older players doing it with new players.

[Kaurhz]

Once the reward for a piece of content has been exhausted beyond that of self-satisfaction then a dominant part of the incentive to do the fight ceases to exist. - I don't think it's as much about hating on the content as much as it is the incentive just not being there to where the interest just becomes non-existent.

I LOVE old content. Heck I’m going through alot of it right now!

[os12ispeak]

but by that logic once you obtain BIS/mount from savage Eden there is literally "no incentive" other than a parse lmao which is just for ranking/self satisfaction (ofc self improvement) but if u cleared the same raid 40404 times there really isn't much incentive by that point. I like seeing the player base as a whole grow and get better its hard for new players minus streamers to improve when they cant even do older content to try out raiding which sucks in my opinion

[geekgirl101]

The only thing I hate is just how brain-dead a lot of the players are when doing old content. They think they can race through and be greedy with their DPS but that's never worked and never will work. The attitudes are also very toxic in the early raids and people just seem to love to counter someone elses' comments. It aint my fault people didn't read tactics before joining the duty nor spent a minute before engaging the boss for someone to explain what to do. I'm British, it's in my nature to complain, so please stop telling me not to complain because after wiping 4 times in the same raid I'm bound to say something and even when it's not a complaint I'm immediately countered and accused of complaining, like don't you want to learn the fight so we don't wipe a 5th time?

[FoxyAreku]

Because I already did it when it was current so many times that I'm burnt out, and now after blanket nerfs and power creep, as well as over-simplified class design it's incredibly boring compared to what it used to be.

Rather just do new things.

[os12ispeak]

the party will wipe regardless if they choose not to listen to advice that is there problem/some people learn slower than others isnt there fault just gotta be patient and help newer players they will never improve without it.
