Unsubbed Thread (Tell us why)

[Aldath]

There's literally nothing to do if you don't care about raiding. Granted, it's always like this. But for whatever reason, it is sticking out more now. It's probably because the story sucked so I'm not looking forward to more.

This is probably one of the biggest reasons I'm unsubbing, as a "midcore" player.

A little background: I used to be an avid GW2 player, but I left because the game has a BIG issue with introducing new mechanics and content and then forgetting they exist. Just imagine: we have no new dungeons and raids since they were first introduced.

People keep saying how FFXIV had this thing that made old content always stay relevant and you had reasons to run it, and honestly I was a big fan of Soken's music, so I decided to hop on during the Endwalker pandemic thing. And then I discovered what I've been told for years was really stretching it.

We have an ungodly amount of content in between dungeons, trials, raids, ARs, exploratory maps, etc. But most of them have been reduced to walking simulators because of the power creep and lack of polish, and even though they give us a reason to do them through Wondrous Tails, people would rather unsync and do them as fast as possible. In fact, it seems most people would rather not participate at all. This is the first time I play an MMO where players would rather not play the game

Worse still, Yoshida expects us to play through all that content yet they haven't done the minimal effort to keep it up to date. Super fun to spend an hour hyping up Titan and losing time making a banquet for some douches to tell us the weak spot is the big shiny thing, just for the powerful primal to die when you sneeze at his direction.

From what I've seen The War Within is having issues of it's own right now.

I ping pong between this game and WoW usually but I personally haven't had any desire to pick up War Within yet.

If anything I'll get to the end of Dawntrail's story, do a couple raids and unsub and see how people feel about The War Within in a couple months when the honeymoon phase is over.

Who knows? Maybe Post Patch content will be really good like YoshiP promised during the interview?

*huffs Copium*

If it sucks I'll prob drop MMOs in general for a bit and play another game. (FF16 PC Port and Space Marine 2)

What issues are you seeing with TWW?

What issues are you seeing with TWW?

Theres some funny bug issues like where a couple of cutscenes dont have Audio (I remember on last reset day - the cutscenes themselved didnt even show) and also AH has been buggy for a while.

Well, I got a 6-month sub, so I'm staying for a while longer.

But I barely play the game anymore. There is just nothing to do beside old content that I've done ad nauseam already.
I don't raid, so I have even less reason to justify a sub.

I hope that something fun happens in 7.1 or 7.15; otherwise, I'm out.

I'm sticking around right now, but honestly, it's becoming hard to log into the game. I've been playing since mid-ish HW (I recall starting shortly before Final Steps of Faith released.) I only really log on to occasionally do some roulettes and maybe a few maps. I was always thrilled to log in before. After beating the EW base game, I started to play some other games, but I'd always come back and always kept my sub up to play with friends or if I just felt like doing some stuff solo.

Now though? There's a rift. If it isn't the MSQ, it's the discussions on the level 100 dungeons. I personally didn't have too terrible a time with them, except the first boss of the carnival. Monks and that boss mix about as well as Zenos holding a teddy bear. It used to be that people were allowed to play other games, and the community was pretty much just like "Yeah, cool, no problem. We'll still be here when you decide to return, buddy." Now? You've got the "git gud" crowd pushing people away because relaxing in this game is not allowed. This is a game that helped so many people get through 2020, and to see it go from that to where it is now is just...it sucks on all fronts here. I have never felt so deflated by the end of an MSQ storyline. I have never seen such a drastic shift in a community in I don't know how long. I don't know if Yoshi-P even plays his own game anymore--his game that he considers his baby.

I find it real weird that I'm looking forward more to the next tier of the Arcadian than I am the MSQ in terms of story. The Arcandian fights are all great! It reminded me of when the Eden raids launched in ShB.

Two very good friends of mine that I met playing FFXIV have left the game already because of the community shift mentioned above. I love this game, but honestly, right now I only keep my sub so that I don't lose my house, and even then, that can only keep me coming back for so long.

Ok... well then..... Goodbye I guess???

I find it astounding that, although it would take people zero effort to post nothing in a thread they intend not to participate in, that they instead make an active effort to come across as dismissive and condescending. It's almost as if some individuals feel compelled to make their presence known, even when they have nothing to add.

People make games their whole personality so it seems when some have issues with it, they take it upon themselves to feel insulted on behalf of Square it seems

Damn lady! it's not that serious you act like you have to be a celebrity to post on this form.
