How i kicked the habit (FFXIV).

[VelKallor]

(that little quip about difficulty wasn't aimed at the Devs).

\its actually the WOW mentality writ large

"You should WANT to raid you should WANT to do M plus" Whats your excuse for not raiding" and the ultimate classic

"It you wont do HARD content its because you actually cant". Its obnoxious. I saw that earlier with a specific forum troll who sneered "You say you dont want to the truth is youre bad and cant do it"

HOW DARE people do what THEY want instead of what others think they SHOULD DO. THE NERVE of people having choices she doesnt approve of.

We aint curing cancer, we aint building Mars rockets here.

Years of pent up frustrations with the direction the game has taken, catering all content to people that want to turn XIV into IMVU, and don't want the be challenged by even the smallest difficulty. It's been 3 weeks, i am a much happier person. I have explored multiple other games, even picked up some side games to play in the 6 months between content patches that XIV has.

Thats nice, OP, now tell us what your reasons were for posting this in the first place, aside, of course, from slinging mud at others, and generally making yet another asinine "FF 14 is a bad game because reasons....."

Guild Wars 2, Fantastic MMO, the world actually feels alive, people constantly active in old and new zones alike, actual world content with rewards that makes it worth completing.

I have GW2. it is interesting , has some bad sides as well as good ones, but I can speak of other MMOs that have the same, each has its own appeal for its own reasons.

Your point is?

For 9 years i have been blinded by the simple truth that XIV is not a main MMO. it is made to be played a few times per year, catching up with content and then moving back onto other games. Thank you to whoever told me to go play other games, because XIV will not change regardless of how much feedback you throw at it, and coming to that realization has allowed me to move on and improved my mental health significantly.

I knew that coming into the game April 2019 . i am glad you are enjoying yourself but again I ask:

..why did you post this in the first place?

Thanks, i've been extremely bitter with the game since the launch of Endwalker (And especially the oceanic server release), and it's been a breathe of fresh air to just go out and explore other games.

I agree. You and more than a few others. Me? Im running up some craft stuff right now, then Im going to Skyrim, GW2, chess.

Dixie, if any video game is giving you THIS much heartache then yes, walk away for a while, good idea. Piece of advice, however?

and don't want the be challenged by even the smallest difficulty.

is and was unworthy of you.
