Everything in the last year has been such a massive downgrade in XIV, Between the forcefeeding of Lamat (Top 5 most voicelines in ALL of XIV) & The insistence on raider & pvp content we haven't had much progress for the casual user. Dawntrail gameplay was secondary, Force feeding the 900 cutscenes was more important than making repeatable content that isn't just (CTRL X + CTRL V) of Endwalker content.
The dungeons were fun, Till you Ran them a handful of times. This is heavily reflected by the Queue times for everything in Dawntrail including the most recent stuff. For the first week it has tons of interaction then dies completely, You have to bribe people to run Cloud Of Darkness (Chaos) now, Same thing with FRU.
WoW Recently has been running laps around you with Housing, And not a single peep from CBu3. It's bad enough Warframe had a design system with 50x more interactivity and options than the paid subscription xiv. Now, WoW will have a system arguably 5 - 10x better than anything found in xiv even amongst the realm of mods.
Do you really think by force feeding more Lamat, Trying to heartstring tug with Sphene & bribing users with a new deep dungeon will beat anything WoW has done in the same timeframe?
I do not want to play WoW, I'm still angry at them for desecrating Arthas Menethil's corpse in jailor expansion just so Sylvanas to have 5s of clout. But you're making it more and more enticing by the day.
I currently have the default subscription + every possible retainer on hand which costs about 36$ CAD a month, Very close to just cutting the sub till 8.0 because you clearly don't value the money being given to you. The amount of time taken from Dawntrail launch to 7.2 WoW has completely turned their game around, Siphoned a good portion of your content creators & are now burying your housing system in the ground where it belongs.
How long do you reckon nostalgia will keep people subscribed?
I do not want to see XIV fail, I have a lot of memories in this game with friends over the years. Especially on my Ps4 account (Not this one)
How many users do you have to bleed out before any significant changes are made? Dynamis alone is already turbo dead aside from Seraph & Kraken, You have to DC hop to do any dailies, Selling stuff on market can take anywhere from 6 hours to multiple days even at record low prices (Continued in comment)
