Say something negative about the game

Why cant ONE ring just have double the amount of stats instead of making us have two rings (1 with full upgrade ilvl) while the other is non upgraded? And ONLY after the npc becomes available for THAT level cap gear, are you able to use TWO FULLY UPGRADED RINGS?

Why not 10 rings. 1 on each finger... plus 1 more if your race has a tail... >.>

The PVP sucks.

But that's to be expected.

The physics engine. By god the physics engine.. what were they thinking with adding "jumping puzzles" to this, let alone jumping puzzles that rely in invisible hitboxes.

Not enough content in major patches, and too much downtime between them.

[Godzillaxpowerrangers]

Not enough cow bell.

It has turned into a single player game rather than an mmo.
- PvP is ...bad.
- Content to promote social interactions is nonexistent.
- No Global Chat

Combat is boring and bland after 10 years.

I'll do you nine better, I'll do ten.

1) The patches are too long and too small for how long we have to wait to get them.

2) There's no good midcore content to comfortably get you from Extreme to Savage unless you're at the beginning of an expansion (referring to easier Savages like P1S)

3) Gearing is still not perfect. The tomestone half of gearing still sucks and raid weapons have no right costing eight books.

4) The 6.0/6.x MSQ storylines have both been pretty terrible.

5) 'Causal' content is generally too easy. Normal raids and certain Alliance raids are usually exempt from this, but dungeons and normal trials are in general just way too boring.

6) Expansions are too formulaic in their structure. A particularly bad example is Lakshmi in Stormblood. It is VERY clear that she only exists because "oop it's level 67, we need a trial!" It even goes down to the quest structure. There's no good narrative reason to have the story split between Labyrinthos and Thavnair at the beginning of Endwalker, it's only done because the other expansions did it. This wouldn't necessarily be a terrible thing if it wasn't so obvious when it was impacting things.

7) Casual side content is all but dead, with any new casual side content released this expansion practically being DOA. This might be fixed next expansion but it's a really bad issue right now.

8) It takes way too long for new balance patches. When a problem with job balancing is introduced, the common dev response is to just wait until the next patch to fix it, when it should be to fix it as soon as they can.

9) PvP is really really bad. I don't feel like I need to explain why.

10) The community is too defensive of the game's flaws, often to the game's detriment.

The forums are a mess of people taking shots at each other with very little actual discussion being allowed to happen and few to no moderators to actually deal with the problem.
