Stop with the FOMO

[Alexandre_Noireau]

Guild Wars 2 is adding a great feature on already a great game that doesn't punish you by not being on it at the same time.

Is contradictory that the director of XIV says "Leave and play other games".

But then you lose on the chance of participating for a items, events, achievements, etc which really have no reason to be time-gated/one-chance only aside the fact that it generates a false sense of value derived only from FOMO.

All events, rewards, achievements, etc, should be aviable to obtain based on a reward structure that allows to get those through participating in the content which should be always aviable or return recurrently and/or through a complete economy based on rewards of already existing content to get them.

This of course speaking only from 2.0 onward.

sooo, what you are asking for is to have no new items ever... simply so people who do not realize that time moves on, and suffer from FOMO for little more than something cosmetic and does not really contribute to gameplay.

I do get it, but really there is enough recycled content and items as it sits. and enough complaints about the same thing over and over and over. life lesson, sometimes... you miss out. so, no, I disagree, things from the past are gone, and sometimes for a good reason. stop obsessing over it and move forward. thats great advice for pretty much 100% of those situations.

Didn't said that.

Final Fantasy XIV is not real life.

Final Fantasy XIV is not real life.

you are right, Final Fantasy 14 is not real life.... so there are exactly ZERO consequences for "missing out".

There isn't a lot of FOMO in this game. Mostly it's just PvP series rewards.

Although you can miss seasonal event quests, the items become available on the mog station or at the next event the following year, so you can get them later. For the halloween and valentione events, the dungeons they put us in previously are often available to us at the end even though they are really from a previous event.

Unreal trials as well. As a player that puts off buying new expansion, and so I'm never at endgame for very long, I've never gotten to see any of the Unreal fights, which also means I've never been able to participate in the Faux Hollows thing.

Unreals are just old extreme trials scaled up to 90, so they aren't really gone.

And yet, I cannot participate in those that have come and gone. The experience is lost to me.

Don't get me wrong, I get it. They're tuned in such a way that keeping them through skill/potency/stat changes and so forth would defeat the whole purpose.

But it remains an entire system I can't participate in unless I rush myself faster than I care for.

(the adjacent Wondrous Tails as well, to a much lesser extent. Unless you're at endgame, you get 60-capped duties with appropriately lesser rewards)

If you decide to slow yourself on purpose for the sake of doing what you want to do, you cant complain you don't get to experience it. You literally cant expect people to go as slow as you just so you can experience it.

It doesn't actually require endgame access, just a character at level cap, so if you really wanted to then you could buy the expansion earlier and just not start on the story content.

(But really, I forget to even submit the WT book most weeks, and it's no great loss.)
