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

Agreed, Im looking forward to it actually. Took many months to get here, though...

Yeah as much as i would like to do the space exploration... even while im surely subbed, idk if i even try. People WILL cheat again, some might not cheat but just take off all day and literally grind 24/7 which most ppl just cant.

I can only repeat what i already said, you cant have that ranked, you need tiers, so theres a cap and cheaters/nolife ppl cant just get 5373567537 points and outmatch any normal player. Its sad they AGAIN havent learned a thing from Ishgard...

My friends have remained subbed, but most of them are still progressing things anyway.

Story I am not the ounce bit interested in. If the story is as bad and disjointed as the 7.1 story then I will be skipping the cutscenes all the way until 8.0 (If the people I play with and myself even tolerate that long). I'm lucky in that I have people to share perspectives on story, but everyone that I do this with also hates the story, currently.

It's pathetic that normal raid releases with gear equivalent item level to crafted.. With crafting have no time-gate on it, whilst the normal raid does. It's utterly pathetic that this system has persisted for so long. Wouldn't be as bad, but crafting is unparalleled levels of accessible these days.

Extreme/Savage content died for me after Eden's Verse.. Maybe the raids have better color scheming and are less horrific in terms of actual accessible (referring to people with color blindness, etc., more than I do with ease of difficulty), but I honestly cannot be bothered to find out.

Crafting/Gathering is probably one of my main activities, but with this it's just so utterly boring.. I'm the target audience for things like expert recipes etc., - But with how far they've gutted the ability system of crafting, it's just an utterly boring game "Let's RNG Stack 5 rapids under Muscle Memory", which is fine, but the only layer of control you have over the RNG is what ability you execute on what material condition, e.g., making use of Pliant, Centered etc., - Abilities that allowed you to effectively mitigate a layer of RNG (e.g., Steady Hand II no longer exist), on top of specialist abilities like HoC. - Maybe I'll try them for the sake of it, but I don't see myself getting interested in it long-term.. At least Ishgard Restoration had the benefit of being novel with the experts at the time.

I am not even sure if I'll grind achievements/relics like I used to in ShB and Endwalker.. This is what I have historically done, and I am around 650 S-Rank hunts away from the Centurio Tiger, which is a mount I've wanted for a long time, but whenever I think about doing these, the overarching thought is always "What's the point, I'm technically not even playing the game for the gameplay or content itself at this point.."

I don't really see myself getting invested in the game content itself as I once did, more-so just the fact it's a common game I share with quite a few friends, and they can at least make it a 'relatively' enjoyable experience. In this sense, when people say that a lot of "people who are subbed aren't subbed for the game itself"... These people aren't really wrong.

I agree. To be clear I was referring to the content itself, like the things to do, not the job changes. The job changes continue to be horrible and inexcusable as they have been the entire expansion.

I'm willing to bet it's already full complete and they just want to dripfeed it so they don't gotta work hard.

Subscription based game

What’s the point of this post, exactly? All it does is confirm that your feedback is based on prejudging content you haven’t even played yet, which makes it pretty much worthless for anyone—including the devs. It also reveals an attitude of wanting the game to fail, rather than engaging with it constructively. If you’re going to critique something, at least wait until you’ve actually experienced it. Otherwise, it just comes across as negativity for the sake of negativity.

Maybe the content isn't for them?

The only content I'm interested in is 2 months from now.

I've logged in once in the past week. And it was for all of 5 minutes. I no longer pay for my sub in 6 month chunks but now am month to month. I still haven't finished the MSQ for 7.1 and have no interest in 7.2 or any other MSQ patches for this expansion. I'm just kind of here but not.
