Can we finally get real content / gameplay?

[Anhra]

On the topic of gameplay/content. What's the opinion on SE challenges?

This is yet another example of "me being my own worst enemey" but... just to offer an example;

I was just getting settled in the Beast Tribe reputation quests eager to earn for myself the mounts for completing X quests and earning x points. While at the same time, hanging out at the Gold Saucer to play for MGP. There's a mount there I want as well. Fenrir for 1 million MGP. So the weekly challenges are important to keep up with.

Or at least they were.

All of this gameplay got thrown out the window by SE (and me not being stupid enough to do more than I had to) because thanks to the challenge, I only have to spam the Labrinth of the Ancient for a while and just purchase all the beast tribe mounts for 30 irregular tomes each, and... I can also purchase 50,000 MGP for also... just 30 irregular tomes.

This is just another example of saying the game is too easy, which is a fair argument... the game really is easy. But, at the same time, how much of that is our fault? How much of it can we really blame on SE?

Both the Community and Squeenix listening to the wrong People is the reason why Things are the way they are, the way how PvP recieved its large rework is a prime example of this statement.

If you aren't in the knowing, basically, PvP used to have alot more Skills and depth avaiable, to the Point where People were constantly complaining about the Hotbar being too bloated, but PvP combat itself, worked out just fine and better than it currently does. So, fast forwarding further, it happened and Squeenix listened to the Feedback and cut everything into what it is today, shooing away over 90% of the former PvP community away because they dislike the simple gameplay it has even today.

And now, PvP exists only for PvE reasons (only for easy exp) and for those few of the former community that stayed, have forever secured themselves a place in every top 100 ranking of Feast because they can easily manipulate the Rankings without anyone ever noticing from Squeenix Part.


My Point with this is, as long as Squeenix doesnt listen to their veterans of the Game about any constructive feedback, be it for any content, Things wont turn for the better and no matter how good the copium and MSQ story is, the fact that Gameplay aspects are STILL being neglected, remains.
