Just did some ffxiah reading

It is so clear the community is dying off lol

Ffxi and ffxiah are getting more niche by the day lol

Had the realization tonight I could buy a steam deck today if I wanted to

I don’t want to enough to actually spend the money as cool as it would be

One of the mods made a post about her mom having a stoke wanting to commit suicide and losing a promotion at work

The bst thread gets a lot of traffic but it isn’t anything good since I last visited

Someone asked about Chocobo digging in the observation thread and there’s like zero reason to ever do that rn

And I apologize but everything else is just stupid

The game really is terrible like I said since the director changes everything and anything we find out we’re “not supposed to know” gets removed for the rest of the games life it’s basically just a load of fooey 

Be real we’re never going to have 21-24 hour or 3-5 day spawn hnms we’re never going to have claim competition we’re never ever even going to lot for loot or have ls with prestige or points never ever again

All crafts are pointless including fishing and digging

Buying stuff is pointless selling stuff is pointless 

If you’ve never played you won’t like it

If you got far like me you won’t like it

Besides learning programming and using the game as an avenue to learn write and test programs

The game is dead and has no chance of coming back to life 

At this point I don’t even want to get high to grind because I personally think the game is in the garbage and I know it has zero chance of redemption 

But my website is designed around it and I absolutely love computer programming so I’m sure I’ll be back to write code at some point

Placing items on the ah even for 25 mil

Carries such a burden it’s 10k to list and there’s no way you can just not care if it doesn’t sell after the list period

Then you’re checking multiple times a day and feeling let down 

It’s like being punished

Why doesn’t he just quit

He likes writing code

Exactly 

Why doesn’t he just write a code to hq 100% or push Gil and items

Doesn’t want to break the game

Prime 5s didn’t and don’t even get epeen and never have it’s like damn you did all that. . . Weird almost sad

Nothing in the entire game feels like an accomplishment if you played to get that endorphin rush where I stand in game there is literally not one single thing that can give it in any minuscule form like it was in the beta days or even abyssea days 

When I think about it I feel like I was a baby when I could get a sense of accomplishment from this game gooing and gaaing googley eyes 

Nothing in the entire game outside of writing code and having it work can give me the feeling I’ve always got from 19 years of this game 

I hate it I feel so betrayed because of how the director directed the game over the last decade 

It wouldn’t take much a new director that had their favorite era the hnm era then viola a brand new hnm expansion new crafting expansion a reason to have a ls besides chatting 

Make ballista reward Gil like odyssey 

Give chocobo digging a reason

In a game that’s supposed to have hundreds or thousands of things to do

There’s literally not one thing to do

It’s so inconceivable broken stupid a waste dim and so many more negative words
