    For the most part, many of the goals here were tertiary, since I enjoy achievement hunting, regardless of that medium - Whether it's in an MMO, or whether it's on PSN with trophies, or achievements on Xbox/Steam - Even with people who do this fairly casually, you'd be surprised what forms of monotony and tyranny people subject themselves to for that dopamine hit of seeing the achievement pop up on the screen. Like, I'm farming all of the relics just for this purpose, since my primary weapon glamour is Padjali, and will be Kinna when I get around to that. I would say this enjoyment outweighs what I got when I decided to try raiding in Eden's Verse that one time.

    Crafters and Gatherers are a shell of their former selves, I will say. In fact, one of the major selling points of this game to me, aside from hearing T13 music (by accidental misclick) those many, many years ago, the crafting system was also pretty high since it was one of the few that could boast of having a fairly substantive system behind.

    I do have issues with BLU, and probably more so than most people, but I don't let that stop me in its entirety from having what fun I can with it.

    At any rate, I don't entirely disagree, but people play this with different goals in mind, so some will get more out of this than others. I usually refrain, but there is a certain point where you do need to question whether the game has your interests in mind or not, and whether there is actually a trend to show whether it is or isn't, and whether or not it is rebounding.

    Yoshi himself encourages players to take breaks between patches.
    Maybe pick up a new game, 16 was just released.

    Burn out is natural. Don't force yourself if you're not having fun anymore. 14 doesn't want you to be around all the time. They said so themselves.

    A burn out would imply i'm tired of the things i'm doing but there's nothing to do in the first place. I WANT to do stuff but there's nothing of substance.

    This is kinda how .x5 patches are to my memory, more of the relaxing fluffy stuff. The only real reason I can see this being more pronounced than usual is because of how gutted the relic questline has been.

    If nothing appeals to you then ultimately it's probably in your best interest to focus on other things/games/life responsibilities until 6.5 when we get the new alliance raid, trial, msq, etc. This patch just isn't for your taste and there's nothing wrong with that.

    There is a lot of content to do even if it's not content you are interested in. SE can't meet every players' personal desires when it comes to content type and quantity. "Content of substance" is something that is subjective, which can make it even harder for them to try to meet a specific player's interests.

    As others have said, if you've done everything you're interested in then it's a good time to play other games whether it's WoW, some other MMORPG or a game in an entirely different genre. You can always resub to play this game when there's enough new content you're interested in to make it worth the fee.

    What nonsense. He says this but puts in systems that encourage you to stay subbed, like weekly lockouts and housing demo timers (alongside a perpetual housing crisis)

    I hate to be the one to interrupt your narrative, but weekly lockouts are more or less an MMO staple across multiple games. Lets not let facts get in the way here, shall we? Weekly lockouts have existed for decades, so no, he didnt "put anything in".

    Maybe you should have read the rest of it to find a better suited example, the house demo timer was most definitely implemented to shackle players into staying subbed. SE has had no interest to fix the housing situation so you can consider it intended on their part.
