This game is on a terrible state right now.

The thing is that he is right on certain points.

The game is becoming very stale.
If you voice your opinion, you are immediately swamped by the casual playerbase screaming at you to go play WoW or other MMO's.

The average players are scared that any change to the game might force them to actually have to get off their ass and put some effort into playing the game, like you used to have to.

I will agree that the gearing system is just plain tired at this point, and a new way of obtaining or improving gear is desperately needed. I do no think that all aspects of the game need to cater to my wants and I do no think that the game is a complete failure for not aligning with all of my interests. I also remember XIV still being called baby's first MMO back in ARR or HW, it never had the reputation for being incredibly complex. I also don't remember jobs being wildly intense or cerebral, they all still had a strict rotation you followed and bosses had a script they followed.

Talk about a savior complex. Of course everything you like and want in a game is the only way for it to be good and people liking anything else is just them accepting mediocrity or poor quality. You must have the finest taste and the best ideas, if only they would listen to you and follow your direction solely without hesitation, then I am sure the game would soar to unheard of heights passing all other titans of industry.

Yes.

If people actually listened to those of us that were like woah, 4 month patch cycles are absolutely not ok, relic steps and zones should follow the pacing of Stormblood back when this game's content rollout was indisputably at its peak, and lets not do insane things to the story like destroying most of the universe and blowing the budget on food animations then yeah you'd take out a huge chunk of the criticisms levied at Endwalker.

I have spelled out word for word what they needed to do to fix this game's problems and all they've done is double down. While sectors of the playerbase lash out at me for criticizing their perfect game. So be it.

no no no no.
Don't point him that way.

I could point him to Fate/Grand Order since he will have spend so much that he doesn't have enough for month here

[SieyaM]

You know with new game + you can replay StB over and over again, which it appears is all you want to do.

Do you see why I don't normally take the time to respond to takes like this? By all means please continue misrepresenting me, but these sort of gotcha takes do nothing to help the game.

Well then please tell us, what exactly do you want, give us the details on how to save this game.

Already have across the 2,043 posts I've made on this forum. Go read them.

This expansion has been really lackluster in terms of patches, there is literally nothing to do, and most of the stuff added is a joke.

Nope, wrong answer. Still the best MMO, still better than WoW, go play other games, etc. Also...

[Atelier-Bagur]

why do you always word these as if you're actually part of the dev team? Why would they care about you?

[Rymi64]

I mean, you do act a Lil like a twat so I don't really blame them. We have 4 month patches so the devs arent so stressed and can have more vacation time, which im all for.

When they did eureka people complained so they made bozja more accessible and ppl complained so they retired it for a expac.

If you truly believe that they blew the budget on food animations you need help, full stop, cuz that's peak dumb mentality. Also the universe isn't destroyed as 1, meteion released the souls back revitalizing it and 2, pupu proves there's still stars that have life.
