How much effort is it to create 1 simple fetch Quest?

I feel like the future of MMOs is gonna have quests auto-generated by AI. It's actually possible to generate content faster than players can complete it now, even the art assets, music and battle design by AI. It shouldn't replace human-designed creative works but there's a place for that automated stuff as supplemental content within certain parameters.

That sounds a.b.s.o.l.u.t.e.l.y. horrible. lol

CBU3 is always working on something and they're doing more despite also making XVI. The proof is out there, but people want to ignore it and act like victims.

Agreed. What we have now is what we’re supposed to have. FFXIV was never intended to be someone’s “main game”. This isn’t WoW. It’s not supposed to keep you entertained year-round. You play the story, do the raids, and then unsub to go play something else. Many of us like playing other games. The less time we have to spend in FFXIV, the more we have to play other games and actually be happy instead of doing chores in a PS3 game.

Besides, FFXVI is coming out soon. Can’t we be happy with that? And if you need to play FFXIV in the off-season (for whatever godawful reason), then that’s why we have modders. They make the drought content that you’re looking for. It may not be gameplay, but who comes here for that?
