    Only one path for end game...

    Grind gear in dungeons... I know this is a stable of the MMO genre, but I’m getting sick of it. I would like there to be multiple paths to improve your character, not just by doing dungeons over and over again 100 times. The grind gear, so I can then grind for more gear is an aspect that needs to go. Not saying that players should get epics handed out to them and there still can be a grind. But the best grinds are the ones that don’t feel like a grind.

    1. Crafting
    2. Minigames
    3. world events
    4. PVP
    5. Fluff


    1. Crafting system

    The crafting system in this game is excellent. But from what I’ve read on these forums, other forums and well just looking and comparing recipes to loot drops you see how worthless it really is. Which is a shame, I’ve lost all motivation to level AS and mining.

    Honestly crafted gear should be on par with dungeon/raid gear. Also I would like to see craftable PVP armour (when pvp is patched in). I would go on that say that PVP gear should only be player made, and that say they need certain pvp points or ranks to equip it.

    (Note: people talking about the high end crafting gear... you still need to grind dungeons for tomes correct? I don't know it still feels like one path to me and no I don't want easy equipment, but I just want variation and options for how I obtain it)

    2. Mini games!!!

    So I heard the golden saucer is coming to Eorzea. Mini games have always been a strong aspect of any final fantasy game. They also add alot of replay-ability and distraction game-play if you need a break from dungeons.

    These minigames I hope will give players good rewards if they invest time in them, as well as being able to play them together with friends or against other players.

    Mini games I would like to see!
    2.1 Chobo racing/breeding! No brainer, this needs to be in game.

    2.2 Card games! Games like triple triad (FF8). Players can trade cards, or gamble them in games against each other. Could have super rare cards as well which are very hard to get.

    2.3 Blitz ball (or something similar). I liked how you can manage your team and go around the world and discover and pick out new players. PVP wise this could be a fun team game to play with or against other players.

    2.4 Mog game! (not sure what I want lol but there needs to be a mog mini game, maybe a more advanced version of FF7 where your trying to get the Mog laid).

    3. World events

    World events make high level players leave there cities. Make fates harder, the more people that are there the stronger the Mobs should become (as there harder give players better rewards). Other things could be full on invasions where towns are taken over. Seems a shame, that all MMO’s go down the route of sit around town and wait for a instance to pop.

    4. PVP
    What I hope is crafted gear will play a big role in PVP. With pvp ranks used to wear the armour and pvp points to buy additional items such as. Materia, mounts, vanity armour (If they add vanity), fluff things and pvp equipment such as siege weapons (if they go down that route).

    5. Fluff

    5.1 Vanity: People like there vanity. Some vanity items should be crafted as well, to help out the crafters.

    5.2 Housing: Yea this is being added I know. But more fluff can be added. Like trophies of mobs you kill. Add rare spawning mobs around the world which spawn once a week so players can cut their heads off and brag that they got the rare kill (or they cheat and buy it off a hunter).

    Add a chobo barn so I can breed my chocobos (interlinked with the minigame!)



    My thoughts anyway

    I know you are sick of the end game grind as most of us are but this isn't "end game" this as they have said is to get players ready for 2.1

    Crafting gear.. all the ilvl 70 crafted shit IS better than Darklight, you just have to spend a lot of money on it. All the 70 crafted can have materia, and especially the jewelry HQ can have the same exact stats and have Vitality. You have the money, honey, I've got the gear!

    Also, you can edit past the 1000 chars.. don't know why you made a quote >.>;;

    ah yes lol thanks i'll re-format. I guess some in between gear would be nice for crafting. Also don't you have to grind high level dungeons to get the materials? i may be wrong in this. In any case I feel there shouldn't only be one route to play the game.

    Players should have options. Be it PVE, PVP, mini games or world events players should be able to improve there characters how they want.
