If we don't see Major changes in 8.0

[Gurgeh]

You're absolutely addicted to complaining about this game. Which like 90% of the people on this forum are, but still, you're a particularly bad case.

I agree.
Truth is. I really still belive if it seeds one other person to come up with one better articulated idea, that becomes an improvement it will be worth it.
I also think either this game success in once again 'fostering' a nice community or it's not worth saving.
It has to change. Not the people who play it.
It is NOT the game it used to be. (Reasons complex)
I've got not a lot positive to say though. I do the of occasion it happens. The ladies day event was great to improved. The telling of the raid story is decent.
Variant dungeons was brave and imaginative.
But yeah... uhh I do like the sound of my own voice. I do like complaining. And if none is listening... that detrimentally affects no one. It's just a game. And this is just a forum for just a game.
I don't like seeing people being personally attacked for attacking a bunch of code they are paying customers for.
And I do not like seeing add-ons change game.
The worst change is CB3 have become lazy because add-ons prop do much of it up. Worst is their influence on MarketBoard.
If people tomorrow lost all their add-ons permanently they'd leave for good.
I'm addicted to to the sound of my own whining voice. 60% of eorzeons game time is addicted to it's add-ons.

I don't like m5-8 as much as 1-4. Not nearly.
But I think they are better raids for people other than me. You can really see M8 in particular stretch out if people are not doing their DPS.
I don't like EX4 much at all. I din't know why.
But I think the early small DPS check is a great idea
I think the early DPS check in Ex3, making the final DPS check redundant, was also a great idea.
Not fixes to any of the games biggest problems.
Privacy. PF travel population decimation. The have add-ons Vs have-nots-add-ons. The Gil rich raiding community pulling the ladder up after themselves. Submarine farmers.
I'm a very "play by the rules" person . And I'm being fckd for it.
Includes I never prog lie.
If I'm even having a bad day, I leave because 'today I'm not up to my usual prog point' which matters. I'm pretty confident I'm exceptionally self depricating. But I dint know how else to be. And then I get slagged of for not clearing in 2-3 hours.

The Problem is... even if 8.0 would introduce some major changes, they still have to work with all the content they right now are putting out wich are the reason why they were dumbed down in the first place. And for all I know how Japanese Companys think they will never admit that there leadership has made a bad decision so it is to be expected that we will continiu on the path we are currently are. More Sci-Fi elements who makes every new player wonder why are there Space Suits and Selfie Smartphones in my Fantasy game. And don´t get me started on the embaresment which are side quests, Go here talk with them you done go do it 1000 times more.
Every Class that is more complicated then pushin 1-2-3 can expect a rework in the near future and that is if we are lucky and all jobs are not replaced with the Warrior of Light Job The Tanky self Healing DPS, because by the death in which our choosen jobs interakt with the game world it really would not matter narretivly to remove them all.
I know what I am saying sound extreamly jaded and that is because I am, Over the expansion I saw less and less of what I originaly enjoyed about Dungeons and with recent patches I see that the Devs do not gif a care for Jobs also... all in order to funnel down all player into savage and ultimate content, the easyest and cheapest content to mass produce.
I have 25 Days left in this game and will spend my time complaining because after 7300 Hours in this game I see now that the devs do not want my kind of players and so I am ready to leave voicing my discontent.

And for anyone who is still in the complaining phase... Please, Respect yourself enough to walk away from anything that no longer serves you, grows you or makes you happy.

More enterable buildings in zones. I would be more or less happy with the game if the zones went back to ARR design philosophy. Going from ~40 enterable buildings/rooms in ARR to the less than 10 in the subsequent expansion zones near damn broke my heart. Maybe this changed in DT, I'm still on EW so I can't confirm.

I'm in this strange camp of still liking this game where i'll do an extreme when it comes out but then unsubscribing for 6 months at a time.
I'm hoping the new combat zone will bring people out to play together and have fun again.


I also don't believe in sunken cost fallacy. If I genuinely had fun playing whether it be in the past or now, then the time & money was not wasted.
it's only wasted if you're still here complaining about something you're paying for. But trying to bring up this point to reddit and the forums is like talking to a wall.
There's no doubt this is an old clunky game and nothing will change. The devs seem tired or just not willing to go against what yoshi p wants. He said in an interview with a youtuber(i forgot who) that the dungeon formula is a "package" that he doesn't want to change.

[LilaIronman]

Are you OK OP?

It's easier to quit FFXIV than continue to post here asking for changes we know SE will ignore, like some trolls.

Its never easy, if you invest years and years into something you love. People fail to quit all kinds of things like Smoking lol

[hydralus]

*More stuff I ain't gonna read*

Glad we agree.

[ZephyrMenodora]

Another ultimatum thread. LOL

Most of the demand list is also very vague. What devs find to be "improvements" may not be what you expect. They already viewed the changes that resulted in what we have now as "improvements."

Major job changes are what I'm worried about actually, with DT they gutted monk, ninja, and black mage. They also did some pruning on dragoon. Viper got their own pruning so fast that I'd almost not count it.

What is there to lose exactly?

honestly i love if they use VC dungeon as msq dungeon, let start with 1 big dungeon, 8.0 will unlock 3 route, and they add 1 more route in every xpac, by the end we can have one big dungeon with 8 route to play, with this they can just merge level cap roulette and expert roulette into one roulette since player will freely choice whatever route they want to do in this dungeon or a reward system which give out extra chest if party follow NPC at the start of dungeon like every VC dungeon has
