I watched the video so you guys don't have to. It's a 44 second pointless video.

Island sanctuary is just a cheap version of farmville that got scrapped 2 days into development.

Infact i think farmville cared more about my time than the developers of IS.

Farmville was an entire game built around that specific content. Island Sanctuary is just side content within a larger game. Of course it's not going to be as fully featured.

If you're really looking for Farmville, then play both games. You don't do yourself any favors by sticking only to a single game and expecting that one game to fulfill all your gaming needs.

I also laugh at the idea that IS doesn't respect your time when once you've got everything built, it's only a few minutes a day to maintain it while generating cowries for vanity rewards.

I already forgot about it. I keep logging in for FC events, remembering that it exists someway through them, and just going "eh whatever" and logging off lol

I don't doubt that you and others who share your...approach to video games are 'laughing'.

However there's many ways in which a game can disrespect a player's time. For example, I think that as a game ages it isn't unfair to expect it to do more to actually be ground-breaking on some fronts. In its golden era, World of Warcraft would look at what competitors were doing, take what worked and refine them with an attempt at a twist.

I see very little of that here in FFXIV. As a veteran player, I'd certainly appreciate more to do in-game that has staying power and which boasts more depth than just clicking on nodes/waiting around. It certainly doesn't help seeing the content I do enjoy - such as Bozja - artificially cut short and scrapped.

I daresay at this point the game has become something entirely different to what it set out to be.

Exactly really some peoples expectations are a bit much. The content is fun, it's relaxing and there are a lot of nice rewards associated with it It's not going to be better than Animal Crossing. The content is going to get updates and it remains to be seen what that will be. Hopefully it's not more of the same but expanded to do more we will see.

A lot of time and effort went into this content which as you say is only side content which is not the main purview of 14. Will it make everyone happy, certainly not, but that's not just Island but many things in this game. Different strokes for different folks.

I have 6 Islands up and running and I'm enjoying it personally quite a bit.

Yes, I expect it to be better than some mobile junk when the game has 100x the money put into it when compared to any mobile junk. They chose to make that glorified sweatshop with the time and money they had and that's it. Enjoy your little factory, it'll never be a proper farm nor a sanctuary.

Don't waste your energy man. This forum is filled with people that live to complain. It is all they do. It does not matter what SE or anyone else does in this world for that matter. They will complain. They have lost the ability to just enjoy something without being critical about every single aspect possible. It is truly sad.
