What is the point of arguing whether having less grind or more grind is good design?

Except I literally do, is there some transcript you all read from about playing other games and to leave if you have any gripes? Why is it wrong to wish for actual engaging content in a game I’ve really enjoyed until recently?

It's not wrong to wish or want change.
but what can we do?

I agree, it's pointless. Unironically if you want engaging content or a sense of meaningful character progression and you're "caught up" in XIV, just end your subscription and play something else. I've started playing an old school mmo private server and the difference between that game and this one is like night and day. The game itself is harsher but the community formed around it is way better, and every class brings something unique to the party and feels valued and necessary, and there are resources that players actually read and use because they're not coddled 24/7 by people who enable them and carry them through content. I signed out of that game and came back to this one for an hour to do a puppets bunker and jesus christ man. The queue reset 3 times because our people can't even be bothered to click commence, and then the run itself took like 50 minutes because everyone played like they were asleep, and at one point we had to beg a tank to just... press provoke...

I know it's a bit off topic but MAN it's so bad, just play something else. Fuck it.

Go back to Lost Ark, you know that game is better to play don't you?
