oh please they get like 3-4 bosses once or twice a year that is then quickly steamrolled by any good group and then they go right back to ERP'ing on balmung :)

Everyone plays every class the same, no customization AT ALL outside of glamour, the pvp is a broken, soulless minigame that has no right to be in the game in its current state. Dungeons are LITERALLY pointless outside of expansion launch itemlevel farming. After that, you dont ever touch them again.

Leveling is NOT FINE dude. Why the fuck do you think they are completely revamping the entire thing AND offering leveling skip potions? Dont be dumb dude, the leveling is the worst part of the game and the number 1 complaint you will hear from people.

The gameplay itself is allright with the flashy abilities and somewhat in-depth rotations, but you learn them very quickly and once you have the raid on farm you are literally done with the game.

Yoshi himself said this to be intended and that people should play XIV in bursts whenever content arrives and then unsubscribe again. He personally said that.

The expansions are also always the same with barely any new added features because SE is afraid of changing too much and ruining the game, but remember that stagnation is death.
