Please don't add the autorun

[Sorabaka]

So, in recent interview, Yoshi-P stated that they're discussing whether to add autorun (to the quest goals) or not. Autorun is a horrible addition that should never be a part of a PC game, leave it for mobile garbage. The game outside of battle content is already not very engaging, and removing even the act of manual movement would make it even worse.

Yoshi-P said he looked at other MMOs, right? Every MMO that has autorun feature is either on life support (because it's horribly bad and being kept alive so a few people who still play it buy shit from the shop) or p2w with a clear pvp focus (in a sense that there's literally nothing else to do except pvp). FFXIV is neither of those things.

Did the team learn nothing from Endwalker with it's boring dumbed down casual content and jobs? Didn't Yoshi-P say that they will focus on existing players instead of doing everything to get new ones, starting from 7.0? You have a solid playerbase that enjoys a healthy challenge, from casual (dungeons, EX trials) to midcore and hardcore (savage and ultimate) players.

I am fairly sure that the crowd they trying to pull into FF with this autorun feature will not stay in the game for more than a month. Because it's the same crowd that jumps onto every new hype gacha game, throws money at it and then jumps onto a new one. None of these people will stay, and ruining the experience for a long term players just so you can get a one-time payment from mobile crowd isn't a good strategy.
