You do see how contradictory your comment is right? Lol
With artifact knowledge and stygia you can get to 220 by playing casually. Conduits can also be acquired up to 226 by doing korthia and emisseries. That’s without mentioning that only a bunch of them are actually impactful.
In the end, the basis of my original comment was that you should realise that you are the one who decides what to do with your time. If you prefer to pressure yourself into playing in a way you dislike, well, that’s all you!
Just saying its better than what wow currently offers. You know not enough time in the day to experiance all the classes or even all the specs if your own class at end game.
sometimes the simplest complaints are the best ones, this guy has
every single system needs a realistic catchup.
every
single
system
for example - rep alone on an alt once you have someone at exalted should be faster, likely per alt at exalted, AUTOMATICALLY. none of this buy-a-book junk. Too much? start it slow, like 1-3% increase per-exalted, see how it goes.
I am a person who enjoys playing a handful of classes and SL has just shattered any of my ambition to do so. I keep trying here and there but its just an endless waste of time. The amount of grinding and time required just to get an alt to a point where I can then again endless grind away is just absurd.
So far I have 7 alts leveled up to 60, with 3 of them around ilvl 200. Only 2 have renoun up to 40. Got almost all professions leveled up to make free legendries. After taking a break for several months due to getting stressed out from guild people wanting to be raid perfectionists, I came back and got into a good rhythm of 9.0 content. Now that 9.1 is out it seems overwhelming and stressful again. I am thinking of taking a break for a while. Korthia seems fun but I am not having fun for some reason.
Like yourself I do remember a lot of talk about this xpac being alt friendly. Its not. The content is a total pain for any healing class. There is a lot to do but every step seems to be just painful. After 2 or 3 alts its just like an open wound. To be honest I hate the game but still play it because playing a game that is actually fun might be so addictive it causes trouble with my day job.
Lots to do with almost no balance in the gameplay. I wouldn’t call it fun. But when the nerfs come at the end of the xpac it will probably be more enjoyable for alts. Kinda what they do every time.
Definitely, but you arent gatekept from content for picking the ‘‘wrong’’ class, like how Blizz thought so smartly that bringing back the awful weapon-locked legendaries (that often just give legendaries to CERTAIN dev liked classes/specs) was a good idea.
All job content is always available to you in FFXIV. Any kind of super special weapon is available to everyone, instead of the winner of the latest dev-exclusive lotto of what of the classes/specs they play gets the cool lore weapon.
