    I cannot help but think of the level of disastrous decision making that has led us to the point where the game world is so unattractive that we have to seriously consider going off to other shards in order to get something of a story worth sticking around for. I suppose that comes with the territory when you let individual writers do away with so much of the setting as a means to prop up their favorite characters, something I would have thought obvious and ought to have been stopped during Endwalker's preproduction phase.

    The Source as it is now does not hold enough interesting material for another 10 years. Rather than allowing Garlemald to play any major role in the future in the style of a post-Vayne Arcades, that nation's future was unceremoniously wrapped up in the Endwalker final role quest that drew large amounts of ire from fans of Garlemald - which by all rights should have gotten its own expansion centered on it. But no, we just had to rush headfirst into the story that ended up with 800 pages worth of criticizing how lacklustre it was.

    Shard jumping shouldn't be the solution here, but unless decisions such as the fate of Garlemald are revisited and rewritten in order to make the Source more interesting then by all means get us out of it and into a new world entirely.

    I am puzzled that aveyond-dreams original premise, "much has been done to undermine confidence in FFXIV this expansion", is accepted so readily as Truth.

    Was the "much has been done" deliberate? A matter of taste in games on the part of aveyond-dreams? Can it be easily corrected utilizing the current structure of the game, or does it require a complete overhaul of everything that makes FFXIV what it is today?

    Dissatisfaction is one thing. But to assert that a company would deliberately sabotage their own property because it doesn't fit your ideas of what you want it to be doing is a bit ... much.

    Perhaps the premise should have read "there are a lot of things I personally find distasteful about the current game, enough that it undermines my own confidence in the development team"?

    Feel free to correct that statement, aveyond-dreams, with one better fitting your actual premise while still holding to that truth: it is your opinion, however formulated. I personally think I've gotten closer to what you attempted to convey.

    I think this is one of the only video games forum (people can feel free to prove me wrong) that actually limits its users to like 15 or 20 messages per 24 hrs, never seen that before, and thank god for that, what a terrible system to have

    Oh you're having a discussion about what could be improved in the game or some new housing areas ? Haha ! You reached your daily quota of posts, you can respond in 24 hrs !

    No I think that's good actually. People need to be told to stop posting at some point.

    Nah, that isn't what is 'needed' at all. Especially when in many MMO's, the ability to post on the forum is precisely how some people come to befriend like-minded players. It's how I met many of my contacts not only in this game but in WoW and TESO as well.

    Except with normal posts you wont run into the limit. It's threads like this that bring people to post limits. Especially if there are like 5 of them active at once.

    It appears we shall have to wait longer for any of this feedback to be addressed. I should have thought FFXVI would be done having events by now, only to find out that the team is now in Spain.

    This is not me saying the forums don't need attention because it totally does but. . .
    Spout less negative nonsense towards your fellow players and you'll have plenty of daily posts left.

    Agreed. What these forums desperately need is actual active moderation.
