The XIV encounter recipe in a nutshell

[Havenchild]

Just because we asked for something new and was given whatever thing this is, doesn't mean we cannot point out that it was not done well.

So we dismiss new mechanics also if we subjectively decide it's not "exciting" as well? The entire premise of this thread is to reinforce that they have a repetitive track record of mechanics, yet when they add new things, we still get to dismiss it if we find it "boring" or "not fun"?

These forums can never be satisfied. Every thread proves this more and more. Here's an idea OP, become a game dev, get hired by SE and create this new and exciting mechanic you believe everyone will enjoy unequivocally.
