Wtf dude don't just give me this info and not tell me WHAT IT ALL IS AND WHERE TO FIND IT ;D! Haha now you got me excited :) Gonna check it out.

It said "New Massive Zones". Also The new city-state Ishgard. And it is huge.
Also, the FC airships are built by the FC. I'd imagine they will fly.

This stood out to me the most. I know that SE has been recycling much of the lore of the FF universe, but I really wouldn't mind seeing some more original content for Eorzea. I think we all understand that they're limited in what they can do given the direction they've been forced(mostly) to take, but I would really like to see them expand in this area.

I guess it's always nice to have confirmation that zones, races, jobs and things like that are coming. I'm actually looking forward to hearing about something maybe we didn't expect...

I'm just curious... what is it that would keep you playing?

If the system remains as is, there's always bigger and better to move on to. The motivation should always be that you enjoy playing the game. There may be any of several reasons why you enjoy it, but if you only enjoy it for progress you make contributing to an ultimate goal; this wasn't the game for you anyway. If the system were to move away from constant progression that scales as more is added to the game, people would eventually get to that ultimate goal, grow bored and probably quit.

ARR has been on the progression path for quite a while now. It shouldn't be a surprise anymore that gear and items you earn now may not be as sought after some weeks or months later. If that's your main motivation to play than I don't really blame you for questioning your decision to play ARR, but it's not likely to change unless SE decides to stop developing content for the game well into the future.

You can add new stuff without making everything prior to it...worthless. XI ran for 8 years without negating every single content prior to a new update. It's along the lines of: "Why should I do anything when next update will just negate all of my work? Especially an expansion? It's called expansion pack, not Recession of "Makeallyourprogress worthless" Pack.

Thankfully though, 3.0 is the start of new designs and revamps, so hopefully they move away from WoW and more towards...well, trying to actually be something better than a half-assed WoW clone in areas.

From what I have heard they are suppose to revamp the class system and some other things Duo

Also duo I find it odd that you know so much about what comes with the expansion when all the details have yet to be released

Clearly, some of the idiotic among the posters haven't thought through what a level cap increase means. There is a huge difference between small incremental updates every couple months that slowly raise the bar and and the massive change that comes with ten more levels.

New levels, means more grinding out the levels, followed by new gear. That means anything you do on a level 50 that generates EXP is a waste. That's EXP that in a few months could be used to help level up. It also means that any gear you get now will instantly be obsolete. Level 60 hits and your best stuff becomes old news. If you've already played through the storyline content and are on the gearmill, you might as well not even play, because none it will matter once the level cap raises.

This is one of the biggest problems with upward instead of sideways progression. But you know what? Go right ahead and defend the hell out SE and stupidly question my motivations, but don't come here ******** about these issues once the expansion drops and you finally get a clue. I already beat you to it.

Point blank: This is the wrong mentality to have.

If going through content is being equated to 'work' then people are not enjoying it regardless of whether their reward lasts a week, a month or 10 years. If you're looking at playing a game as 'work' then progression isn't for you. Again, it's a constant climb rather than making progress toward an ultimate goal. I'm not trying to convince people to quit, but you have to understand that you're on the treadmill. If you don't enjoy walking without going anywhere then you should probably step off or try to find new motivation to continue.

What you want is pure, undistilled bad. It's never coming back. Get over it.

It's been my experience that someone using the word "butthurt" online is pretty much exactly the point where that poster doesn't have any good arguments left.

Yes, but it matters now. The expansion is still probably six months away. Just because all the level 50 gear will be obsolete eventually doesn't make it worthless. Even if you won't need it tomorrow you still need it today.
