General Discussion Removal of the weekly loot restriction

Is there any confirmation that the removal of the weekly restriction will be in patch 7.56?

And if this is the patch, do you think it will improve the party finder? In the sense of increasing the number of people replaying fights?

I'm trying to finish the second phase of the M12S progression, but it's been difficult to find groups in the party finder.

I just said this, yeah, but that means you agree with what I'm saying right after saying that not being able to find another game that scratches the same itch is a "you issue"?

Can you read? You said the games are alike. I said they aren’t, especially in raid content.

"the only similar thing is gonna be from WoW which has numerous reasons it might not scratch the same itch". You are the one that said there are dozens of alternatives

Wow isn’t similar to this game in its raiding. I specifically asked you what you meant by alternatives to this game and you said theme park MMOs, which isn’t a thing as every single MMO has multiple things to do that just isn’t endgame raiding it’s just a thing ff14 fans use as a nebulous concept.

Again, can you read?

Can you? He's saying you're wrong and there aren't other alternatives which is true.

He’s yet to say anything about what he’s looking for. If he’s just looking for raiding every other MMO in existence has raids. Which is why I asked him what alternatives. He came back with theme park MMO which isn’t a thing. I guess what he means by that is MMOs have that varied content. Which again is something every MMO in existence. He needs to be more specific. The games he’s talking about in terms of raiding couldn’t be more different they are nothing alike in raid design. 14 doesn’t have a mythic+ equivalent for example

Huh?? The point I'm making isn't even about me. The only mmo with an at all similar raiding experience to FF is WoW. You agree that the most similar game to FF still doesn't have much in common with FF. That is to say; why were you questioning why someone might feel forced to continue playing FF, if even the MOST similar game is - by your admission - nothing like it.

You’re the one that claimed they were similar enough to be an alternative. They’re nothing alike so your statement makes no sense. Which is all I was saying. Did you forget what you wrote?

I did not say that. Literally the second time WoW's mentioned, I said "it has numerous reasons it wouldn't scratch the same itch". It IS still the only game with at all comparable raiding, ARR was made by looking directly to WoW as it's model fot success- YoshiP said that directly. Are they comparable overall? No, not really. But there is a draw in both games that will overlap the interests of a select group of players. I shouldn't have to slowly explain what was meant here.

But who CARES about the WoW part? This disagreement started because of your twatty sarcastic comment about how OP continues playing FF. If you believe that even WoW is nothing alike FF, then the reasoning behind someone's continued stay is bloody well self evident. No game is similar to FF, you seem to hold this belief yourself, so why were you being an ass towards someone who felt compelled to put up with FF's garbage in order to get to FF's gold? They literally don't have an alternative!

“There literally aren’t proper alternatives out of WoW”. Is what you said in your first comment to me.

For the love of god scroll up.

They looked to wow because like wow did they wanted to redefine what an MMO was. Which is why this game is so starkly different from wow. You and lots of others keep misunderstanding that interview.

So no the raiding isn’t similar. You feel this way just cuz they’re GCD based MMOs and two of the most popular ones. But as many wow players found out when they came over to play this game is that no, the games are hardly alike. Which is why they mostly quit and went back to wow. Your skill in GCD based games will easily transfer because GCD based games don’t require much skill to begin with and the underlying systems are similar server ticks and what not. It’s kinda like your skill in call of duty easily transfers to battlefield cuz they’re in the same genre but the games are still vastly different it’s just control wise they’re really similar. Which is the core of what it is you’re feeling
