If we don't see Major changes in 8.0

[FuturePastNow]

custom job builds like talents or perks etc. We need options that provide user agency in jobs that allow players to make their toons unique or at least provide some level of customization.

Oh yeah I sure do want people to ***** at me for picking the wrong perks

Custom?? How dare you suggest such a thing! Anything that stands out from others shall be gutted and join the 120-sec button mesh crew!

Seriously though, I can sort of tell that the current underlying codes cannot support "unique job skills" at all. All jobs more or less share the same template, which is shown by the shared skill cooldowns when you change a job in the field. I assume creating a skillset for each job is quite difficult for them. Unless we expect them to revamp the game foundation. Which, is unlikely. Sadly.

The TOS already basically forbids you to tell people from not blatantly playing their job correctly, nobody is gonna insult you for picking the wrong perks

We all quit!

These are our demands

New housing system. Similar to FF 14 mobile
Better Glamour, JUST like FF 14 mobile
Better leveling experience
Better open world
Better Dungeons and not the same trash we been getting every expansion.
Improve Job changes

There will always be a meta/best talent build. Giving us talents and build diversity would practically change nothing. The only thing you would see are less experienced players handicapping themselves with the wrong talents.

Archeage has that.

Cooking Mama and Hello Kitty Island Adventure are the perfect games for the great exodus 8.0 players if they wanna relive that good ol 7.0 magic. x)

A meta forming doesn’t necessarily mean that the system is useless as it provides variety in a lot of different content and many people may prefer safety over raw DPS

If you quit, give me all your gil. Thanks!

Been playing this for over a decade at this point.

I simply do not expect anything major changing with 8.0. This is simply the road we've been on and I do not see the devs changing trajectory. I used to be bitter about it, gnash my teeth and comment on X and Y and Z changes I want to see, but I'm older now and I have not the energy to spend on that kind of thing. Nowadays I simply play the game for the aspects I do enjoy... which to be quite honest aren't very many now, but enough to keep me coming back, I suppose.
