Lazy devs and fatigue

[caffe_macchiato]

I've been playing pretty steady since 2018 and my drk is the most geared job I have but I prefer to play rpr or sge...the issue is in struggling picking what to main and then I just don't care. From 90 to 100 the job changes were as safe as you could get and it feels like I'm just doing the same old shit as always. Same routine same daily weekly routine it's a very robotic game...why am I paying a sub for robotic game that doesn't even give me the option to exchange tome gear like queaztalli? It's demoralizing you have to grind all the tome gear again for moths...ridiculous

I mean, what did you think this was, WoW? Come on, this is Final Fantasy XIV published by Square Enix. You can't expect much. Most people, as visible elsewhere in this thread, don't want more. They don't want a game that respects their time, mainly because treating FFXIV as a game instead of an identity is too much work. Don't ever bother mentioning to them that delves offer free gear for just 15 minutes of your time.

(By the way, as Square Enix recently told me in a dream, saying the word "shit" results in your account being banned. Unlike cheating and hacking, they take that seriously.)

If you're not willing to make that commitment, it isn't the genre for you. I remember back in the EQ days taking literal months to equip even just your main class, let alone if you played alts.

"At least it's better than EverQuest" is my new favorite defense. Last I recall, though, Yoshida was telling people that FFXIV "respected your time". Obviously, we know that Yoshida has a loose relationship with the truth, but I thought people at least believed in his ideas?
