all job design is dull and feels bad to play for hundreds of hours on end, which is how i play mmos, so it's not for me encounter design has been relatively good recently but it's significantly hampered that each pull feels so similar bc everything is moving to a slow static rotation - ThreadSky

That makes sense. It's all I'm doing recently, but I wouldn't consider myself skilled enough to say that I'm bored. I'm trying to break the habit of looking at my hotbars cause I'm not confident enough even though I know my rotation LOL. As a mono-MMO player, are rotations usually not static?

no ffxiv is relatively unique with how it's rotations work which is what originally drew me to it (it does tend to have more buttons to push than most mmos but as time goes on the order and reasoning behind the buttons you press has become watered down)

I know a lot of complaints are about how 'samey' jobs have become over time. Not to mention the 'changing rotation' per ex-pac is more or less gone, since now it's always just ability improvements, so most things will go stale in general. Not that more buttons would be better or worse. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

IMO more buttons generally are worse if they dont actually change anything abt gameplay decisions since you're making the game less accessible for groups of ppl (disabilities, controller players, casuals, etc) while also not actually adding anything that contributes to the hardcore experience
