    "Endwalker is the worst expansion I played" doesn't mean "The game is trash and it should die". Endwalker is also my worst expansion and this is mostly due to the state of job design. Like Xeno said, jobs are easier to play than ever, but in counterpart, raid mechanics got harder, and he's 100% right about this I totally agree on that. One thing that didn't get harder though, is casual content. Is it a bad thing? I think not, it is meant to be played by literally everyone. However, with the jobs current state, casual content, which was already feeling a bit stale back in SB, feels downright brain dead due to how jobs are playing today in EW. I don't have enough free time nowadays to do hard content outside of occasionally dabbing into PF once a week for a couple of hours, most of my time is spent on running the basic day to day stuff. But it doesn't feel as engaging as it was back in, let's say, HW. That's my problem with the game, and since I main healer, I have been having this problem since ShB because healers were on top of SE's hit list. Hoping that DT will shake things up just a little bit and make things feel a bit more fresh, I'm looking forward to hear more about that.

Would have more respect for her if she was just honest but nah she has to lie and make up excuses. I'm fine with the game being criticized by people who don't have hidden agendas.

    While Zepla 'may' have apologized, I can't see her in the same light anymore since February. She never apologized to the people she targeted on twitter who mildly criticized her for playing it. Not harassment, just criticism. You can criticize someone or something without harassing the person in question. I also voiced my genuine concerns over her playing it, but ultimately it was her decision. The way she handled everything afterwards was NOT the right way to handle things. The one person, who was targeted, STILL gets DMs/random death threats from time to time. She never reached out to apologize to this person and it's almost the end of the 2023. Some of comments she made about EW ARE valid (I agree with some of them). She is just someone I can't watch anymore. Not after what has done to some of the people who looked up to her. I just feel she needs to break off from FF14 COMPLETELY and find another MMO, or single-player games at this point. At the end of the day, this is my OPINION. You can disagree with what I said, but again, my opinion is not 100% fact or truth. This is how I feel about and it's okay if you don't like what I said.

    I'm gonna say it, with the talk of the Eureka Horizontal Gear, and the idea for Criterion Horizontal Gear. PvP should have it's own Horizontal Gear for PvP via One Set provides a Defense Boost, another Provides Health Boost, and another Attack Boost. And if they were to do that for PvP Gear, please make Loadouts you can create and swap between at the Re/Spawn point(s). It'd make things a lot more interesting, and allow us to mix n' mash pieces to give the illusion of "builds." Oh, Also PvP should have it's own Leveling system with Prestiges like every other PvP game out there outside of the Battle Pass and Ranked. Just gives the sense of progression on a smaller scale. Don't need rewards, but a change of an emblem & number. And when are they gonna put CC Casual, and Rival Wings as a Daily, and allow us to queue up with friends on Casual CC!!!! Like, c'mon! lol Edit: BLITZBALL!!!!!! NOT FFX-2 VERSION EITHER!!!!!!!!

    I do appreaciate that Zepla reflects on the drama she has exacerbated with the way she continuously talked about the HL situation and how she kind of came accross as incredibly rude and aggressive, but I do think that the damage has been done. It won't be easy for a lot of the people that used to trust her in a way (like myself) to now be like: Meh, it happens. It made a lot of people feel uneasy and unsafe (to be part of her community, that is). All I can say to that is you reap what you sow. I agree that the community can be a bit closed-minded when it comes to criticism, but a lot of people's frustration turned into blind hatred for the game. I think Yoshi-P's comment about taking a break from the game can sometimes be taken out of context, but let's be real here for a second... If you do not enjoy your time in FF, you should honestly take a break. It's bad for your mental health and financially speaking, it's not worth paying a $15 sub for a game that isn't fun to play *for you*.

  • @24hr-Gaming

    I think the core problem is taking a break doesn't actually do anything to fix the underlying problems that people feel about the game at all. In fact it can make it worse because when you go out and play more modern games, it makes the existing problems with FFXIV stick out more, not less. And with the content cycle being pretty static, the chances of anything significant happening to address those issues is pretty close to 0 which is why people who feel negatively about Endwalker typically don't feel that Dawntrail is anything to look forward to. So yeah, it is not actually helpful advice. And none of the people criticizing the game have said at all "Oh the game absolutely sucks. No one should play it." They want to play the game. They have a lot of time invested in the game, still want to play it, and would like to see the game continue to do well. The impression I generally have is people ARE taking a break. They don't intend to log in until 7.0 unless they have friends still going through content. But, if Dawntrail is the same thing as Endwalker, they either don't plan to come back or will come back very short term. That is not a good sign for a new expansion.

    I agree with you 100%. I'm not talking about actual problems though, but about the feeling she described as burnout and "not having fun playing the game anymore". That is when I personally think that taking a break would be a good recommendation, since you shouldn't force yourself to play a game that isn't fun to play in the first place. I took a 3 month break from the game and it did wonders for me personally.@@24hr-Gaming

    There is no excuse for having "emotions" behind telling people to die because they decided to play a game. I don't care where those emotions come from or the reason behind them. Bullies in highschool have emotions, criminals have emotions. Should we respect them and make them feel safe and comfortable around us? No. You're a bully, a harasser and just an awful person. I don't care if you don't feel safe or comfortable, just go away. It's that simple. Just. go. away! It's so extremely depressing to hear both Zepla and Frosty talk like this.

    Everybody has done or said horrible things because they've acted on emotions. Just because they say or do horrible things based on emotions, doesn't make said emotion any less valid. Sure, the response may have been a little hasty, but the emotion is understandable. Bullies suck, but a good portion of them have anguish going on in their lives that they take out on others. Criminals can suck, but a lot of them aren't that bad people, just in an unfortunate situation. "I don't want people who act on their strong emotions negatively in my community" is shit, because we've all done it in our lives. Nobody is holier than thou

    She doesn't but rather she regrets how she went about it. If you look at her VODs around that time even though I am on her side in that people took it TOO far and I will never condone harassment over playing a video game, I don't think her choice of words was the best. Her reaction to the actual harassers was perfectly understandable but her choice of words definitely hurt some of the more moderate voices and legitimate concerns. For example, she unintentionally dismissed the struggles LGBT+ people went through historically by dismissing some of their arguments or saying she is a war refugee (I sympathize with her in that regard but the fact is she has the advantage of a home back in the US and she wisely fled her area of Ukraine before the fighting got there), thus she understands persecution.
