I know Many of you won't Agree with me but I am going to say it anyways.

I have played constantly for the last 6 to 8 months. Leveling, Farming, Doing Raids, Fates, Farming Tomes, Buying Gear, Farming Relics etc. I went from a New Account to having 11 level 80 characters with 535 Queens Blade Level Weapons and in 520, 525 IR Armors. An the lowest life I ever had was 112,000 life to a Max of 120,000, had the BEST Materia VII and VIII even over melded 90% of my armors. So there was time invested in to ffxiv, Steam shows 3,899.8 hours invested.

An honestly I am disappointed in Endwalker cause I honestly wanted to see how Hydaelyn and Zodiark play out, it's a really great story. But honestly I logged in to my 80's and found out all my life 120,000 was brought low to 28,000 and all the materia was at 24 for VIII. All my time and effort wasted for what? Just so they could ruin the game and make what me and everyone else worked so hard on mean crap.

I dunno about you but my time is valuable and I won't do it again. I am sorry but you have to understand what they did is like Having a full time job only to find out your NOT getting paid for it and at the end they fire you. Was a good run and I hope whoever else still plays you find it worth it or play it in moderation.
