I'd reached my limit with the boring/unfun stuff, and what had previously been fun had become stale.Īnd then on top of ALL of that, the on-going scandal/lawsuit about some Blizzard developers being complete shit assholes to their colleagues, in particular by sexually harassing female employees. ![]() For all the bad, I was still having fun until about two months ago when I'd just had my fill. ![]() I think if any one of those things were different we'd be looking at a much smaller exodus. Or that the patch cadence has been tremendously slowed down (oh my god it has). So it's not just that it's an unfun game right now (it is). On the game front, it's all the stuff others have mentioned: grindy gameplay systems that have gone stale after 2-3 expansions no innovations to gameplay in awhile (same ol raids/same ol dungeons/same ol mythic+/same ol world content/same ol pvp) a terrible story and character development in the current xpac. They all together contributed to a waterfall effect of putting down (or in some case (semi-)permanently leaving) WoW to play XIV instead. I mean, the raid lead of the #1 US guild progged and streamed the FFXIV race to world first this week! So XIV has gotten attention from WoW players at multiple levels of the player base - from the casual (but dedicated) streamers to the highest end raiders. Lots of other streamers (WoW content creators and variety streamers) also spent time streaming FFXIV and generally gave it high praise. It wasn't just Asmongold streaming (though he was by far the largest WoW streamer to give attention to FFXIV). Hard to predict but at this point I'm not sure that we can expect the queues to resolve until new servers are added.įleshing out the other replies. I wonder if the large influx of WoW players resulted in a similar growth among the subset of the community interested in raiding. Originally people estimated queues would die down considerably as casual players finished the story but that seems to not be the case. How are the queues for you guys and what server do you play on? I've heard some similar reports from other Aether and Primal servers but I wanted to get a thread going here to collect testimony about it and see if maybe world-visit could offer some potential workarounds. On non-Tuesday days we're seeing queues of 2,000+ which is still a couple hours of wait time. However, last night on Cactuar during peak times we still had a queue of 4,000 players. ![]() Some servers seem to have little or no queue anymore. The main sub has removed the sticky about queue congestion, and it seems from reading people's comments about it that for most users the issue is resolved.
