Why I identify 7.2 as being nothing for me to resub for

[Gurgeh]

This post is for Square Enix: (although I guess some commenting is explanation for players)
- My friends still aren't resubbing for it. Don't know why, seems something about OC field is still more what they are after.
- just not interested in MSQ at the moment. (Used to be)
- No one to share perspectives on MSQ with that as far as I know I would relate to or would be interested in someone else's/my perspective.
- no reason/reward for queuing a specific dungeon or a specific trial more than once. (glam no longer relevant to this occasional subber.)
- confident that the dungeon/trial won't have enough challenge to make it worth replaying more than about 2-3 times.
- no reason to grind normal raids. No mount, and the time-gated gear takes longer than I'm planning on being around for. Glam not relevant as my experience is mostly solo now, but with player controlled NPCs.
- I think it's too likely that normal raids will be quite boring and not very replayable. the last normals were highly replayable, they were great, but I thought I was gearing up for something.to come after. but they already said they nerfed these ones before they even came out.
- Extremes are yet again more content with zero rewards for me personally. I love progging Extremes but the 'short fuse' antisocial atmosphere of farm parties is just unpleasant. (I think it's because the grind that's required is too heavy so people get moody. They don't want to be there either). So clear once, again, with no replayability that applies to me. I've spent I think a lot of time in Ex1 2,3, especially helping which is what I enjoy, and nothing to show for it. The novelty has reached its limit I think and it's now a little depressing.
- Savage didn't apply to me never tried savage properly. Tried M1S, stopped after about 3 hours. Truth is I just don't like having to digest whole guides in one go, and the memory game style just isn't my thing, Extremes is about my limit for that style, you can't please everyone. Most of all got a taste of PF from chaotic and that's not a plus for me either. Large factor in what made me unsub the first time.
- not interested in crafting gathering Especially not interested in push one button gathering. I won't be using add-ons so I'm excluded from hoping to be on leaderboard. As far as I'm concerned crafting is all about addons. So new moon thing just doesn't apply to me.

It's worth noting that all of the above can be offset if it's a shared experience. But you just won't, as things are, ever be able to keep the kind of friends I make subbed.( non RP, who prioritise helping others 'over' thier own goals, non high end , casual)

You don't have to digest guides all in one go. You can watch a whole guide to have an idea, then revisit the first few parts of it and focus on those first. Once your prog point is the later mechanics, you can look at the guide on those phases. That's what I did.

For example, when I got to Beat 3 in M2S, I had completely forgotten what the guide said about it and did it completely wrong. My party gave me 2 minutes to watch it quickly, after that I did it flawlessly. Easy clears after that.

I actually have the opposite going:

My friends are resubbing, I'm interested in the 7.2 story patch, I have people to share my perspectives with, there's a ton of glams this time around I want, the glams on the normal raids look cool, Suzaku was my first ever current extreme clear and the new extreme will tickle my FF9 nostalgia, savage is the content I sub for, and crafting and gathering are getting a mini-game next month.

I took a long break from FF14 to play other games (I just finished Dark Souls trilogy and got monster hunter) and it did wonders for my mood around FF14.

The patch content looks great, it's just unfortunate that it's being drip fed over two months.

I have to admit I have never been more uninterested in an MSQ story than I have been with the 7.0 story and the post patches, right now I am just going through the motions doing the MSQ to go onto the other content and hoping the pivot to next story will be more interesting and 8.0 is a return the quality writing the game has had in the past.

You said you were going to unsub over 2 months ago so I'll believe it when I stop seeing you posting here every day.

[Sylpharia]

Going to be real unless you actually stop giving them money and commit to that unsub CBU3 will not have any reason to change. This goes for everyone that is unhappy. Money talks everyone

7.2 doesn't start for me until two months into it.

I don't know if I'll have the motivation to play much outside of for the first week.

Personally I'm glad of the drip, because my life suddenly got busy and I don't think I could keep up with it if they front-lined it all.

Plus Crescent comes out around the same time as ER: Night-reign...

If anything, the only thing I kind of dislike are the changes to make jobs easier like Black Mage. Makes investing some skill into the game kind of pointless.

Despite your posts it seems like you still want to play the game
so just go out there and make more friends and people you can share the experience with
nothing is going to happen unless you make it happen
