I have over 800 days of playtime ( not tons of AFK time) the mentor mount and have cleared most savage fights so this isnt some meme casual gamer making this post, it was a DEDICATED player to this game who has been forgotten about

No doubt; it is mainly veteran players like that who are unhappy.

The game has this last expansion been the absolute worst in terms of casual and midcore content and I see the directions the developers are going in. Also there is 0 social content outside of what has not been taken over by ERP clubs and Venues.

Indeed. The benefit of Eureka and Bozja and even Ishgard Restoration was it was a social experience. Whereas I was in Island Sanctuary and variant all alone. It was mentioned the new "Island Sanctuary-like" content will be social this time though.

the amount of OGCD heals one has literally breaks most content in the game.

Also true. Dungeons are a lot more fun if you simply don't take a healer or don't take a tank.

Boss hitboxes are so massive it takes away fun tank playing

To a degree, but I think what is far worse than that is the auto-center thing. It's just created as many problems as it has solved, because now I am fighting against the re-centering system to try and reduce how much the boss moves or rotates, or it re-centers in different directions or to the south, to the detriment of people's positionals. Sometimes re-centering is unnecessary and makes the melee dps move for no reason.

Good for you for voting with your wallet. Hopefully you can get past the anger and feel relieved that you've moved on from something that you no longer enjoy. What games are you playing instead these days?

I started playing the finals, also playing star rail and final fantasy 16

For me, I'll be waiting to see what Dawntrail brings first, but I've said my piece as well in a different thread. It certainly can't hurt to see what the coming information will bring since we're pretty close to Dawntrail relatively speaking, but you have to do what's best for you. I started Star Rail at launch myself, but found myself waiting for the PS5 release pretty quickly since I don't have the greatest computer for gaming and I've always been more of a console player. The events that I've caught up on have blown me away in terms of the overall quality, story telling, and gameplay additions. XIV could never.

You are certainly entitled to your opinion. However, there are two points I think are incorrect.

Healers are so OVERPOWERED playing them without a damage rotation is dumb, the amount of OGCD heals one has literally breaks most content in the game.

I'm not so sure it's a matter of them being overpowered, but rather good tanks can make them completely unnecessary. I'm not really sure how that maintained status quo throughout the expansion, but I am curious to see if this changes comes DT.

Party finder is dead on primal, Crystal and Aether

Can't speak for Primal or Crystal, but Aether is definitely not dead for PF. There are complaints that you almost have to go to Aether to do any PF content, so I would be willing to bet this is objectively false.

At the end of the day, if you aren't happy, then I do really wish you well in finding something that is fun to you. What you consider medicore, others might not agree, and that's ok. What matters is what makes each person happy.

I know the flamers are coming to get me even with this title but i dont have a fear at all this stuff needs to be said.

I am Skylar Spirit from Diabolos server and have been playing the game roughly since 2.5 just before heavenward. I dont care if I dox myself because I am NOT coming back.

Most of the player base cannot commit to ultimate raiding due to work and IRL obligations. The casual content is too easy now which is what kept me coming back. I remember dungeons, trials and normals raids in heavensward and stormblood having some bite to them and you actually had to pay attention. Now the content is so easy its just , " Stack, Spread, ect.

Item level and rewards are absolutely pointless other then to validate someone's self worth on ff logs ( /s)

I dont see the game direction changing, the casual content is on baby mode now and there is nothing that brings the players to play together.

Party finder is dead on primal, Crystal and Dynamis
Im out this expansion ruined the game for me. I love and appreciate all who like this game but I encourage you all to stop settling for mediocre content and hold these devs accountable. Yoshi p did a good job with the game but it has since fallen apart for me.

Sounds good and all, you should buy my pizza on midgardsormr for 55m before you quit. Every purchase goes towards a good cause.

Keep an eye on dawntrail and if you see something you like you should come back. But when you say " I'm never ever comming back" it defeats the point of wanting the game to be better. Because you're not going to support it through those changes... so why should it change for you. Just something to think about

Understand that. There are some changes that won't ever be reversed like tps removal and Job specific responsibilities. All these did was frustrate players and made them beg for the removal. But I agree the changes to difficulty should be reversed. I consider eden the best raid tier..
