Also let's be honest here, if they did add another Exploratory this time people would be complaining about it just the same, there is no pleasing everyone and that's just the way it is.

Even WoW had its low points, so for me its like....whatever, FFXIV is just going through its low Points Phase (which people will argue happened at X time) maybe next time they'll have a better idea, or a more busy one.
I hated Explore Zones in Stormblood, hoped they'd never do it again. Did it again in Shadowbringers to my Disappointment...but I actually really liked it that time. Them not doing it again this time Im kinda happy, because 3 times in a row would have been boring. And people complain about just doing the same thing Over-and-Over again. But hey, I guess the Repetition of Explore Zones is more some peoples styles here.

Im not to surprised or really hurt about the next step if its true to just be another Tome Grind, I just want to actually know from the Devs if its a thing or not 1st.
And...yeah, I agree with one person that they could have tied to something abit like Criterion. One of the biggest gripes was the lack of Worthwhile rewards. Part of a Relic step would have been a decent reward and get more people into it, if not BACK into it.
Unfortunate. We got like, what 1 or 2 more steps till the end of the Expansion? If they dont already have it mapped, hopefully they'll have a better idea and possibly give us a more interesting and harder Final Step.
Maybe.

I can at least be excited for more Hildi! <3

My main issue with ffxiv(other than its dull combat) is that most things are too easy to achieve and the things that aren't are exceedingly difficult (the astrope mount being a good example for me). Not every game needs to be grindy but here I feel like things just don't feel rewarding, there should be a middle ground. It's a shame that the dev team insist on creating short lived content by going this route. Casuals won't die if they have to spend more time to get something special, and I say that as a very casual player myself, my main content is housing.

Someone said earlier in one of these posts that FFXIV is designed as a single player game and things should be tradeable(sorry, not gonna look for it again to quote) - I fully agree. If they don't want to force players into a specific grind, let some or all of the mats required to complete a grind tradeable, so they can work on it by other means and those who enjoy said grind can profit because of it.

Idk why they insist on calling the tome weps relics this expansion :v

Ah yes, I love running roulettes only to get a relic with no effort. I was already bored throughout 6.35 that I ran mentor roulette 117 times in 2 days.

I mean isn't it any different with running through Eureka and Bozja if you want to farm for all weapons? You just keep quit and enter new instance and AFK hoping for those sweaty people spawn NM for you, and for Bozja you just mindless FATE and do DR with Essence of Platebearer hoping those people carry you.

Don't you guys keep complaining how boring the instance is? I'm confused why you're shocked because you all wanted this

Mao nots worried abouts more tomestone gatherings. Manderville weapons just icings on cake for Mao. It was Hildebrand quests that Mao wanted more of. To be honest, for most of what Mao does in game, Manderville weapons is overkills.
