FF14 player count reached the lowest point in 4 years. We lost 75% of the playerbase.

me to lad me to ... i had one spark of hope for the field operation because i like stuff like mixing jobs in other games. logged in after a while looked at the game and just imidiatly got bored. Yes i know its over a month to go till the patch but man this feeling is for the last half year and i think i will be dissapointed in the end...

Field Operations at patch launch? Oh no, no, no, no. We can’t have that.

I mean, what would the playerbase even do if they had to choose between a new raid tier and FO at the same time? We can’t ask that of them. It’s just too much.

In fact, I’d personally ask SE to delay FO to the .28 patch instead of releasing it in .25, so we can all fully exhaust the upcoming Savage tier first.

Whatever they do, they absolutely shouldn’t release it at patch day. That would mean they actually care about addressing the playerbase’s concerns about content drought, and we can’t have that.

After all, CS3 and Yoshi-P need to keep drip-feeding us content, or else we’ll be overwhelmed by having too many choices and burn through it too quickly, especially since there’s no sensible reward structure to make it worth the effort.

Because let’s be real, having meaningful milestones after a grind is asking too much. Weekly lockouts are obviously the only way to keep us engaged.

Isn’t it so nice that we, as adults, don’t have to make these decisions ourselves?
