FF14 players are content with the slop because they barely play other games

It's not like there was any hiding. If there was I wouldn't be making Highlander clones. They just produce... so many dollars for nearly zero work. A good, easy side hustle.

How does it make you money? I'm so confused. Are you getting paid to post hate on the forum?

That's a really funny thought
Paid opposition

Yeah, no. It's not that they're biting more off than they can chew. It's that they have not shown any compelling gameplay other than zergswarms.

That kind of brainless zergswarm will be boring one week in.

So kind of like black desert online? I never really got into it, but that's what came to mind when you say zergswarm
Since iirc it's mostly active combat and kind of reminded me of the dynasty warrior games lol

I only mention biting off more than they can chew because I recall seeing their plans for different classes in the game, because it was a pretty big sheet of what class can become what depending on what the player chooses as a subclass.

MMORPG is not dead as a genre.

The reason you don't see many new ones coming out is money. They're extremely expensive to make. If someone doesn't have the personal wealth and/or backing investors, they're not going to be able to get a MMORPG into a release state that will satisfy players.

Part of that is because there are so many old MMORPGs still running, they've built up hundreds if not thousands of hours of content for players to do. Players expect all MMORPGs to have that amount of content.

A new MMORPG is not going to be able to provide the amount of content a player is expecting at release. Even old MMORPGs aren't able to provide as much new content as players will demand when a content update is released. Looking at these forums and the WoW forums shows that. Players just will not be satisfied at the same time they refuse to go play other games to get their satisfaction.

There's no point in creating a new MMORPG if it's not going to get a large enough player base that will stick around to cover the expense of making the game.

Our neighborhood troll does have one good point. We all need to be playing other games to see what else is out there and to get enough new content to sate our gaming appetite. A single game is not going to do it once we've consumed what it has to offer.

I do hope you're right, because MMORPGs are some of my favorite games to play and it'd be sad to see them fizzle out. I've been playing a variety of them since middle school, I think.

There you go, straight from the clown's mouth:

I'm just an RMT bot

Because nothing says "mentally stable genius" like whining for years on a forum about a game they don't even play

Congrats on finding out!
