I'm back from Lost Ark

[Doc_Seraph]

Guess it is "The Found Ark" since you went there and are back safely kupo <3 jk jk lol ..so bad

Playing a heavily P2W game is NOT my thing. And before the Lost Ark crackheads even get started that it isn't a P2W game, I have seen all the videos and read all the articles of people dumping money on that game in ridiculous amounts. NO THANKS.

Everyone misspelled Lost Ark, it's *Cost Ark.

It isn't really 'pay to win'. I tried it out a month after launch, didn't spend a single bit of money on the store and still managed to catch up easily enough between the items I gained naturally and the generous rewards offered through the login bonuses/special events.

People did the math and it absolutely is unless you want to grind for years.

That said, even I had the ability to enter the dreaded Tier 3 without spending money and I've even amassed a decent amount of cash shop currency by casually working the marketplace (you can sell honing materials to people for gold, and then trade gold for crystals). There's also a lot of horizontal progression in the game, which makes getting to the tippy-topiest of endgames unnecessary to have fun (it's why I've been selling most, if not all of my materials). The grind isn't absolutely as necessary as people believe.

What math? What content? What videos are you all even watching? You don't even have to log into your characters everyday, and still progress. The "grind" is literally 2 chaos dungeons a day, maybe 2 guardians if you feel like it, your weekly abbysal and/or argos and that's it. I can finish up everything I need to do and still progress on my sorceress in about an hour everyday - and that is me taking my time.

I mean, you can play other games without coming to the XIV forums gushing about them.

I don't come here to talk about how great Elden ring, nier Automata, the Lego games, etc are.

I mean don’t people literally make threads about upcoming wow expansions or things about wow to bash them?I don’t see people saying this about that.

I think I know who you’re alluding to, that one dude who kept forcing WoW/FFXIV threads. He got called out after a while as being a pot stirrer no better than some of our resident trolls. To the point he gave up if I recall and only just posts rarely now.

I don't participate in them because I think it's dumb.

I don't come here to bash other games, outside of expressing my dislike of certain requests from said games that I am not interested in seeing in this game.


I've played over a dozen mmos over the years. I wouldn't want systems from most of them in XIV, as they are terrible.

[KizuyaKatogami]

Well...
When the op comes in bashing FFXIV in the first post, that's the kind of responses that show up.

Sow the seeds of discord, and you reap discord...

So instead of being the bigger people y’all resort to insulting another game and it’s devs? So much for the great community i guess
