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

- 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)

Bro go play Helldivers 2 with your friends or something. Don't waste time on this shit game expecting it to ever get better lmao.

I'm glad you unsubbed and I'll hold you to it.

The content isn't even accessible till tomorrow. And yet you are already judging it? I detect thou is judging the book by thine cover. Did I enjoy some changes? No, but it's part of the journey. I miss some old skills but who knows during the job identity down the road they might re-add them in a more updated form like PLD bulwark

Yeah problem is when they added bulwark they completely ruined everything else about the job's rotation feel still hasn't been reverted. Anyone who actually liked the old multi combo two smaller bursts (phys and magic) gets left with nothing so people who didn't play PLD in the first place can go and say "yay it's like war/drk/gnb now I like it"

It's like saying don't worry we brought back Ice paradox! but everything else is completely different and if you don't like it you'll be told "time to take a break buddy!"

What content? The only thing were getting tomorrow is MSQ (2 hours) and the normal mode raid (1-2 hours). Cosmic is a month out and foray is 2 months out.

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...

It's why i'm not hyped at all for it.

Just gunna be a repeat of Ishgard, The bots will get everything, The cheaters will get everything, The No Lifers will pickup anything else.

People who actually work ain't gunna be able to compete on that board.

It's honestly sad the number of people that still haven't clued in Square Enix basically told you to pound sand till late April -> May

You are only getting SLOP till .25
