Seems like you have to be level 30+ in game to use the forums. And you need to be high level to even use the auction house. But still doesn't prevent people from selling Gil lol..
So yeah those are also turn offs in 14. And I didn't even have to read the quest and figure anything out other than glance at where I have to go and who I have to talk to. They put the locations on the map and show you where to Go lol...That's how easy quests are.
Which I think defeats the purpose of playing a real RPG. Too easy sucks.
Point is hardcore gamers who are accustomed to FFXI might come back to this game.
FFXIV to me just looks too eye candy.
