    I loved the sneer at the chocobo "Turbo chicken"

    OH

    You mean the pet that fights, heals, tanks and is also a mount? That has its own talent tree?

    Gee..hows that water strider working out for you..you know, the one that used to walk on water but now needs special equipment to do what it used to do by default before Blizzard gutted it?

    [*]Flex Raiding Not content, just let you play the same raids with any number of players, no effort what so ever to bring you anything new.
    [*]Cross Realm Zone/Sharding most people think its shit, it worked like shit for a while too. Not content. FF14 does this better now, it doesent attempt to fill your world with players from other realm to fake being more alive. You visit and people visit realm at their choice. FF14 use other ways to make people go around the world, which always look more alive then wow did before cross realm random thing.
    [*]Mythic Plus Not content, literally running the same place with moar damage and stuff to increase difficulty.
    [*]Collections Pretty much the only thing that matters in wow now. The collection system itself is not content, but its useful for the only real content.
    [*]Level Scaling Not content.

    So on your list the only thing you can show for as positive side content is, collections. For every collections and pet battle, side content amounts to either nothing or absolute trash like garrison or world pvp insentive that never works.

    I'm not so sure to be honest. They added Dancer and left Trick Attack in which may end up forcing another meta. It's too soon to tell, but I'll wait before drawing any c

    My apologies - I thought the focus of your post was:

    Wow always implement the minimal effort of every system imaginable.
    Re-reading it though you did focus more on content whereas I wanted to draw attention to their systems. I still very firmly believe that they've done tremendous work on innovating systems design. They don't always get it right and sometimes they get it horrifically wrong, but there were things they did that seemed impossible at the time or that changed the game immensely and they do deserve credit for that.

    Also, I'm not even subbed to WoW right now. I'm not trapped or a fanboy or anything silly. I play and like both games. I'm just capable of objectively analyzing the things they do right and the things they do wrong.

    What exactly qualifies as low effort content? In either game? The only example in WoW you gave was Glyphs which are more a system than content.

    Other than your longass rant that makes you come out as a crazy fanatic, you're comparing classic WoW with FFXIV, not BFA with updated graphics. Agree to disagree I guess, I am not even closely as invested as you are to try and defend a point that hard nor care really, said what I thought of the game after hitting 70.


    Also @Yoshingo, no, the hardest difficulty is not even comparable to WoWs harder difficulty. Don't gimme that normal crap rofl.

    I'm not calling WoW amaizing, I just said that even now it has more depth compared to FFXIV. I think that you could have easily macroed FFXIV rotations into one button if the game allowed that. That's antipode of depth for me.

    Okay rofl.

    I love how you think raids in Warcraft are some super difficult thing, as if everything outside of the last few bosses on Mythic aren't steam rolled the second the raids launch.

    There are some classes that are like that. But I'd argue most are not. You're painting with a very broad brush.

    Low effort, lazy, bare minimum is just code for something someone doesn't like. It's a lazy argument for someone who really doesn't want to argue in good faith or actually has a point to argue from. If so, they would have made some valid points instead of saying they always implement the minimal effort.

    Maybe you're right, the only extensive experience I have is on my only 70 job - DRG, I've played several others to 50+, but with shitty leveling this game has it was very boring experience. I wish it used system from other mainline games with jobs, where your character level and job level are separated, allowing you to quickly catch up.

    You can macro everything in one button, and it doesn't / didn't even work at level 50 the way you think it would when I tried it for the first time several years ago.

    Both games either follow strict rotations or priorities and procs depending on the class, I see absolutely no benefit over the other.
    The only thing I'd say FFXIV suffers from is button-bloat.
    But Dragoon for example saw an improvement for that in Shadowbringers, so I don't think that's true anymore either.

    Overall however, what I can tell from class changes over the years, is that FFXIV does a much better job at listening to people when it comes to class design... and that's already a big fat plus. In my opinion, WoW Class Devs have absolutely no idea what they are doing.

    btw:

    lul @ the dude who basically said FFXIV raids are not fun because there is no trash. Not only is it not true (the no trash part), but trash is certainly not what makes WoW raids fun to play, in fact it's the thing that is the most tedious and most boring about them.
    Either way, it doesn't need trash to show off it's vastly superior raid-enviroment design compared to WoW.
    If people think that WoW raids are fun to look at and be in for anything other than the fights themselves, they are nuts.

    I wish it weren't so btw. Because I prefer WoW's combat system due to how "fast" and responsive it is too - but the class designers, and for a lack of a better word, "ugly" raids killed the game for me.
    And on top of that, if you have to rely on flex-raids, the fights aren't even fun anymore. Flex raids are a disaster from a balance perspective.

    That's why I specified "if the game allowed that". Of course they're not going to make botting easier.

    I am new on FF 14, at lvl 30 and i dont know why people hyped and praised the game so much, "wow killer", "game did everything right" , i mean....sure..the landscape is somewhat prettier, but sometimes i feel like the character with some gear dosent blend well with the landscape.

    My biggest gripe with FF 14 so far is the god awful 2.5 gcd and some useless abilities that serves no purpose at all (blizzard II dont even root anymore, so why woulld i have on my bars? Seriously?). i have fear of the ability bloat, one of the things i hated about swtor was exactly that back in the day, i hope i dont find that on FF 14 as a black mage at least.

    Another thing that pisses the shit out of me, is the lack of visuals to indicate when you get a proc. omg your thunder dot procced a free thunder spell. Where's the warning? Waayyy down there at the bars instead of giving us something more...reliable...like idk, fingers of frost warning when you get the proc? You know, something more visual to let you know you got the proc?

    Dont get me wrong, to me FF 14 is fun, im having alot fun exploring and with the story quest, but at least as of now, the game lack so many of the QoL changes that WoW did and keep doing, i am not really seeing all the hype about the game or being the "god sent mmo that is mile ahead of WoW"

    I hope the pace change once i get more levels, because it almost making me throw my keyboard at the window when i get a free instant spell and then cant go back to cast my channeling spells because im locked on the GCD.

    Black mage youll always have to deal with high GCD. But most of your rotation is stuff that takes equal or longer to cast to the GCD. Im not sure it really matters in the end, just take the rotation slow BM has a very structured and slow rotation of big nukes with big numbers. At level 30 you def dont have the spells youll be using most like Fire 4.

    I mean, given that Savage Raids in XIV are cleared literally within 24 hours of them releasing, and the two Ultimate Trials were cleared within days, I'd still say that Mythic Raids in WoW have the leg up in terms of difficulty, given that even the easier Tiers tend to, on average ,take at-least one full week to clear, and fights like Kil'Jaeden or Uu'nat can take two to three.

    I happen to like the theme/appearance of most WoW raids and how the rooms shape the encounter. I don't think I'm nuts While I'm not a large fan of trash, I am a fan of trash that teaches you what mechanics bosses will be using. Something akin to how Faust says if you can't do x DPS you have 0 chance of clearing the following fight so do not pass go.

    No, what I meant is. You can bind all your skills in one macro - but it doesn't work out the way you think it does. It simply won't even remotely get you the DPS you want.

    The encounters are nice - but the rooms they are in are not looking good. There is absolutely nothing that impresses me when I do a fight. The last time I felt "this boss room is awesome" was in Ulduar - Alagon.

    For the third time: I know that it doesn't work and it doesn't work specifically because devs don't want it to work.

    What's your stupid statement about "If the game would let me, I could do the whole rotation in one button" supposed to mean then.
    I could say the same about WoW or any other game.

    Castsequence *works*, you can (or could) even bind ogcds between them - it has nothing to do with the devs. it doesn't work because you don't want to go 1 2 3 1 2 3 during a boss all the time - non stop.

    I'm not talking about the added latency delay due to castsequence macros.
