What makes you keep playing?

[Ratatapa]

I've been thinking about semi quitting for a while now simply because the game isisn't as fun anymore. It starting to get a chore to log on (like we have savage later and I really don't wanna go lol)

-As we said alot 3.0 is the same shit as 2.0
-Imo Coil fights were much more fun then Alex
-So many bad players that ruins the fun (wiping over and over because people don't wanna listen or get better is not fun)
-People not showing to events without telling anyone, forcing people to cancel the run.
-Crafting beeing useless exept for food and potions mostly

As for now i'm logging on to cap Eso then do savage then I just stay in town doing nothing.

I was thinking of maybe just subscribing for patch, do the patch unsub till next patch. But dunno anymore.

You people of BG, what makes you keep playing this game?

[Grey Jorildyn]

Friends. Sometimes the challenge of raids, but mostly friends.

[Destinye]

Obligation to static/friends.

[Katlan]

Friends/static (since its 5/8 friends) really. For me its so much much of the same old, its the fact that they made things worse in some regards in order to cater to that 1%

[Cassalot]

What keeps me playing is the hopes for 3.1! I would've unsubscribed before then like you're thinking about but I don't want to miss eso weekly cap.

Just as planned, bravo SE.

[Ratatapa]

Lol i know right?

[Taint]

3.1 will be a big deal for a lot people I play with. Most everyone hates Alex so people are banking hard on airship fights which will lead to huge disappointment.

[gaira]

never held a continuous sub for more than 2 months at a time; i'm content playing catch up and doing the current content then taking a couple months off.

[Silenka]

Have mostly quit for now, playing here and there while waiting for 3.1 just to slowly get all jobs to 60 because I have a completist mentality.

Yeah, kind of why I lol every time I visit the OF and people are treating it as if it's something amazing and brand new to the game and anyone who says "it's like 2.0" needs to "go back to XI" or "stop being shortsighted" like...

It's glorified Airship Adventures. It's crystal Tower. It's an unedited version of Singularity Reactor that 90% of the community will rage quit on after 1 wipe and it's more story that goes nowhere besides: "HEY WE'RE ALL ALIVE. HI. Ok see you in 3.2."

[Damane]

unsubed like 3 weeks ago or so? too much of 3.0 was like 2.0, there was nothing gamechanging implemented.

Yah I really don't like savage. But because I don't, the game is that much more boring. I just do roulettes, level jobs and craft/gather.

[Ratatapa]

And that's why I keep saying to people that even if you have legacy pricing, this game cost actually more then XI lol

[Cursed]

PVP. Its a destresser for me. I get back from a 10-15 hour work day and just que. Fell cleave a few SMNs and I'm good. Once I find a good PS4 or Xbox game, I'm likely to quit and never look back.

Had high hopes for 3.0, but it seems SE is no longer capable of innovation and all future patches will be a recycle of old ideas. To me, its sad to see that MMO's will never be what they once were. But I guess its a blessing. I started playing XI when I was 23 years old. I'm 36 now. time to move on.

[BaneTheBrawler]

Friends. I like being hooked into my old XI friend group again.

Savage is ass. My static broke up, and I don't really care.

weekly caps. as a completionist shit drives me mad if i fall behind.

free company; been with them since 1.0 and they're why i stick around mostly beyond my own inability to walk away.

game's pretty meh though if i'm honest. i find myself looking forward to going afk when i'm working on currencies. scrips just feel so unrewarding that i've grown to dislike the current game. high hopes for 3.1 are another reason i guess. i always find the x.1 x.3 etc patches are the best and most fun/engaging. at the moment i feel like i'm "forced" to sit here for however many days. 1-2 for eso, 2-3 for scrips, and by that time it's almost reset again. it feels too stuffy and a lazy effort to keep you subbed for fear of being way, way behind since now there are 3 instead of 1 to worry about.

i just can't get behind savage. most players are only going to see turns 1/2 until some serious nerfs come around. i've been on a3s forever, and while i'm sure i could haul off to a more HC static and do it, the game has just made me not give a shit.

the expansion in general just feels like a step backwards to the core of the system, and that's the most depressing part. now i'm wondering if and when ffxiv will be fun again.

Self-loathing.
