The Lessons Not Learned.

Endwalker had maybe five hours of actual gameplay, the rest being text boxes, cutscenes, and walking to the next NPC. We are vastly overpaying if our $53 (expansion plus one month subscription) is to be judged on release-date content alone when a 100-hour all-inclusive JRPG costs the same.

Could not have said it better myself. There is no reason to tack on a monthly sub fee on top of this.

Sound like you arnt doing anything more then just blitzing the MSQ story, when there is more to do then just that. So that means you are playing it like a Single Player Game, or all you care about is the MSQ. Thats no fault of the game, its how you are playing it. But if all you like and care about is MSQ thats fine, but its false to say there is only 5 hours of gameplay.

Sounds like you have the same issue of only doing 1 thing in the game, if you believe there is only 5 hours of Content.

Isn't the normal answer to "There's not enough content" + "I don't want to pay a monthly sub" = "Quitting until content you're interested in comes up"?

If the game wasn't doing well, they wouldn't have a monthly sub. Considering it's what's keeping the creaky ship that is Square Enix afloat, it's not going to go anywhere because you yourself are upset about the game.


To quote someone else in another thread replying to you saying that SE needs to listen to you, specifically and that you were going to save the game:

They're not concerned about retaining any single player over any other single player. It's rather arrogant and self-centered of you to think you have such significance.

SE can't implement all of the several million ideas that a couple of million active players are going to have. The vast majority are going to end up disappointed as their feedback gains no direct response and no implementation.

Quite honestly, if you're that unhappy with the game I can't understand why you bother to log in to do a couple of leves then log out. It's a tiny amount of gil that isn't going to do you any good as you play your other games and won't amount to anything helpful if you decide to return when 7.0 is released.

When you're getting too unhappy with a game, the best thing to do is walk away. That's what I did with WoW when I got fed up with all the changes there. The game it became was not the game I used to enjoy. There's no point wasting money on something you don't enjoy thinking that somehow that's going to make it better. Make a clean break, give it several months, then decide if it's worth giving the game another try.

Stop paying then. Why be the enabler?
