I've tried FFXIV several times (friends keep trying to drag me into it) but I just can't get into it. No world PVP, no real rivalry between guilds, no rolling up with your homies to gangrap a rival guild trying to harvest materials, no staking out an area until they're forced to bitch out and retreat and shouting GET FUCKED FAGGOTS across the region. No highs, no lows, just steady stream of 'yeah, good job'.
So... no garbage that pretty much nobody wants judging by the complete lack of it happening when there's no rewards for it (like phase 2)? Yeah, it's been a breath of fresh air, lmao.
I like some stakes in my games. I consider it cucked enough that WoW doesn't let you loot dead players.
When you remove meaningful loss from an MMO you turn just turn it into a mindless grind to endgame drip-feeding the player with constant reward.
Even Runescape understood this.
That's why nobody except a few boomers cares about Runescape, lol. That's not stakes, that's an absolute waste of time and just pure ragebait that pretty much everyone will quit except a few people.
Good.
Gatekeeping is good.
