The main problems of FFXIV

[Aviatorhead]

That's still a player prooblem. You're playing in a sandbox with 20 different toys. If you only like 1 of the 20 and you're getting bored with it, then start applying critical thinking skills.

What do you suggest should happen, then? We change nothing? We wait for the playerbase to have a change of heart and suddenly want to engage? Do we scream at them until they like the content?

This is where I get frustrated: people want to hide behind toxic behavior and then complain when others don’t engage with content. Sure, the content isn’t Shadowbringers or whatever expansion you prefer, but constantly being judgmental or elitist doesn’t make it any better. Their attitudes can make the game miserable for others, and that’s just as much a problem as the content itself.

And yeah it's not going to change, probably just as much as the content is not going to change because they're catering to the masses. As it should be.

You sadly cant change anything really, look take as example square starts to release raids and the focus shits more to the "casual" content as example, then the raider will start to complain

I know its always easy to say "square needs to change something" "everything is squares fault" but in the end it doesnt matter what square does you will always have people complain, thats why i really think most of the shit is playerbased fault, because contenwise we are getting really enough, but square cant please everyone

I feel like explaining to you again why content is not great rn is pointless so I'm not going to. I already did.

The changes coming to the new DD is proof to me that the devs recognize their content needs changing. Their is plenty the devs can do to make content reach more people and last longer, like the changing difficulties with offerings and those difficulties offering different loot. That is already a huge change coming that can influence other content and make it more accessible to a wider range of people without dumbing it down for the higher skill players.

No I'm not saying the playerbase is perfect, but I don't see a point in focusing that problem when you cannot change your playerbase. You can change your game, but you cant force people to enjoy it.

It seems you dont understand something not, if the Content is good or not is a PERSONAL MATTER,

You said "You cant change the Playerbase but you can change your Game" which is true without Question, but what is with the People which enjoy currently how the Game is? You do FORCE then them to enjoy it.

Yes it's an opinion thing. Enough people have expressed their opinion that the current content sucks via not paying a sub anymore. Enough people do that and SE has a problem.

I don't understand your second paragraph there, sorry. If you think I want to make the game easier for everyone then no, I think the people who enjoy the game rn deserve a version of the game where their favorite parts still exist.
