Sincere Question...No Troll...Has SE Gone Full Regress?!?!

[TheRealMadruck]

This is so blatantly a chatgpt post from the wording and the heading summary before every block of text. How did anyone fall for this?

You got me troll...I am truly using AI to write to all these replies...truly...on a real note, I love repliers like yourself. It shows that FF14 still has toxicity within the ranks of this game that hate anytime someone has a opinion different from their own. Instead of providing a actual intelligent counter to my post...you go to "this is a fake post". Pretty pathetic!

Imagine this: language models are trained on text they find on the internet, so they inevitably sound kinda like what people tend to post online. Shocking, I know.

Blame endwalker for ruining relic weapons forever. Bozja was the peak of exploratory content and relic grind. They gave up with occult crescent and regressed to baldesion arsenal. Anyone who says the system to enter ba is cool can just stop.

It would be cool if it wasn't a portal to ex+ difficulty content and premades didnt just get griefed by noobs going in blind who refuse to listen to directions on how to clear A PIECE OF CONTENT THAT KICKS EVERRYONE OUT IF THE GROUP WIPES AND THEY GOTTA SPEND A MASSIVE AMOUNT OF TIME AND EFFORT TO RESPAWN THE PORTALS OR RE INSTANCE. To everyone who asked for ba back seriously fudge you i hate you and hope you quit the game.

Forked tower and ba either need massive nerfs or regular queue in systems like delubrum Regina. Anyone who defends either piece of contents entry design is literally insane.

i like the relic stuff, its fine to have something todo for more than 1 week its an mmo afterall the game is already pretty forgiving when it comes to grinds

Or we could, you know, have some actually engaging content that people do because it's enjoyable, not just because it takes forever.

idk man so far almost every piece of content i did so far was pretty ennjoyable enganging even tho i havent done m5s-m8s and forked tower, so its fine to have a nice braindead grind every now and then and if you're not doing ults then you dont really have a need for the relic anyways

Braindead grind is a bad game design when it has nothing else to offer. Simple as that. Considering that huge grind are mostly done with bots and 3rd party tools, that explains how "fun" they are.

it has glowy weapons to offer at the end, and most people here make the first relic step out to be the worst thing they ever did even tho if you just do it for like an hour or two each evening (not even in OC) you can have the relic together by the end of the week, its not that hard and the second step is also done pretty fast so i seriously dont know why people complain about it here we finally have a piece of casual content thats not done in 2 hours and thats also wrong

The Regression: From Bozja to This?
How do we go from Shadowbringers, which gave us amazing content like Bozja and Zadnor, back to 2.0-era mechanics? Bozja has a purpose even today. You can gain experience, level alternate jobs, and engage in a unique ecosystem.
Occult Crescent has zero purpose once you finish your glam weapon. After 7.5 and the launch of 8.0, it will be a almost a ghost town because the leveling system is restricted only to that zone. Why create content that has no viability outside of the current expansion? It’s a massive, uninspired waste of resources.

That would have been fine had its loot been entirely exclusive from other content. The bigger issue was that it carried the loot from the eureka and bozja. While this might have been unintended, the implication was that it significantly diminished the need for people to do those contents, as they can simply do Occult.

Are you really comparing a fate grind with a fate grind? And then praise one and criticize the other? Ok.
I think they should be doing something with leaves, the system feels so useless currently. They should be doing something with GC rank. I would have liked to see that progression in a "open world deep dungeon" is tied to relic progress of your server. Unless your server clears certain levels and stages, you won't get access to the next upgrade. Make guilds and their leaders have special guild buffs for such content, let their banner be risen on a completed stage, so everyone knows who cleared the floor - or recleared it. Let the guild who captured it decide how to develop the area further, similar to Ishgard Restoration.

Give purpose to the existing systems. SE has to decide if they wanna be a MMORPG, making content for more than 1 player, or not.
