Stuff we have lost each expansion since shadowbringers

[Miyumi_Nara]

Lets start off with craftable minions from extremes Stormblood we could craft minions with the extreme materials, Shadowbringers this was taken away from us. Now those minions seem to be relegated to PVP Limited time series see the rubilite minion a shadowbringers trial in endwalker PVP reward.

Next stormblood gave us Eureka and Heaven on high. We only get one of these per expansion now. Shadowbringers was Bozja which replaced Eureka. But no replacement for heaven on high though End walker we got eureka Orthros no replacement for Eureka or bozja.

Hard dungeons removed since shadowbringers. these gave variety to expert roulette. Devs gave some stupid bullshit excuse on why they removed them.

Class quests for every class. Role quests are supposed to be there replacement but role quests dont feel like they add to a class at all. This is a loss of additional lore.

With the trial stories being MSQ we lost yet another story to the game so more additional lore lost.

Allied Beast tribes has been lost W lost a cool cutscene of all the beast tribe coming together to do something cool and an extra reward from them.

6.4 they broke there cycle of craftable ex weapons was hoping for seat of sacrifice or emerald weapon to get a glowy version of there weapons. This did not happen as of writing this.

As of writing this as well. There is no signs of an 8th trial for this expansion. Stormblood we had Gilgamesh and rathalos. Shadowbringers we had Varis. endwalker we have umm nothing so far.

We also have lost the third map dungeon that was added with stormblood and removed with shadowbringers and endwalker.

I know theres more im missing but ill leave this here for you to discuss.

lol nothing was "lost" the resources went elsewhere to different things? Island Sanctuary? Variant/Criterion?

Exactly, so it was lost because all of those have 0 value whatsoever, thank you for proving their point

[Tanis_Ebonhart]

In your opinion.

Seems to me that a lot are enjoying those things.

Island sanctuary takes 10 minutes once per week or so, great "value"

the other 2 are literally absolute wastes of time to the point no one or near to no one does them

yeah seems like its pretty worthless to me

I mean...Bozja and Eureka are wastes of time as well. All that work for a boost in ilvl that doesn't matter if you aren't doing savage. It's literally busy work for the sake of time padding. Even just for glam those zones are just huge time sinks of monotonous grind.

The other are wastes of time due to a lack of rewards. The content itself isn't the issue. If more people played for fun it'd be received different. But most play for rewards n so that doesn't work.
The moment we start getting the same stuff every expac many of you will complain about that very thing. Right or wrong I don't believe the devs can win with some of you

Island sanctaury replaces the firmament For this expansion. Criterion and variant dungeons basically replace castrum lacose and Delubrum ok That still doesen't replace eureka/Bozja/zadnor multiple more areas.

And you didn't address anything else. But please tell me continue telling me how there resources keep going into other things.

Which can then be net even or even a net bonus but isn't necessarily so.

Let's say you lose your arm and get a million in worker's comp. Did you not, to begin with, lose your arm?

What kind of lawyer logic is this, lmao
The things OP listed... were in the game once. And now, we don't get those types of things anymore. Ergo, they're lost.
If you're eating a sandwich and I knock it out of your hand, you'd feel like you just lost a sandwich, right? Not so, according to your logic. After all, the sandwich isn't lost. Its components simply went elsewhere, to different things! Like into the dirt, or into the mouths of ants. No worries. Don't bother mourning the thing you just had in your hand a moment ago, because technically if you examine the laws of thermodynamics, nothing can truly be destroyed, so nothing is really lost. It's simply been moved somewhere else. Into a form that no longer resembles the thing you once enjoyed.

His logic is more sound than the sandwich analogy you're using. A better example would be if you knocked his strawberry ice cream cone out of his hand, and it is replaced with a chocolate one. An even better one than that is using the entire ice cream shop that has stopped serving several flavors, but have replaced those with newer ones. Some of the customers might not like the newer flavors, and desire that the ice cream shop bring some of those older flavors back. However, this doesn't change that the ice cream shop still has plenty of flavors (content) to partake in.

This is actually pretty common for businesses of all types. Just the other day I went to Wendy's and asked if they were still serving the Bourbon bacon sandwich when I didn't see it on the menu, and they said no. Instead of complaining about it, and going off on a tangent about how that isn't fair; I just ordered the new chicken sandwich they were serving, and it satiated my hunger all the same. I could have also just left if my heart was set on having that particular sandwich.

tl;dr? Deal with it.
