What cause players to quit Final Fantasy XIV A Realm Reborn

[Akiza]

Class/Job System- is boring, lacks creativity and depth because they built it around casual player skill oversimplifying it instead of building the system around the potential of the class/job.

Combat- oversimplified and lacks depth there are no crowd control abilities, not a lot of support abilities and no skill chains.

Zodiac Weapons- takes to long for the casual player to get for very little gain. At ilvl 110 it should take a max of 3 weeks for a player to get if they play 2 hrs a day since new Raids and gear come out every 6 mos.

Raiding- has a lot of one shot mechanic and is unforgiving because if one player screws up he or she can wipe the entire party

Weekly Lockout- Players can down T6-T9 on a weekly basis and not get a single loot drop for their class. Players wouldn't mind a weekly lockout if one piece of loot dropped for all classes

In general anything worth getting in this game is a long boring grind for very little reward if something is going to be a long grind it will have to be the best item in the game until the next expansion.

I've had a close friend quit over the animus stage of weapon, due to fates not spawning for hours on end
Hoping they will come back in 2.4

If you don't like it stop playing it.

Akiza topic... Ah the good ol' days.

On a serious note this doesn't deserve it's own topic. There's a 100 page thread going on with all the points in the OP being argued by the for and against people. You've brought nothing to the table that hasn't already been said. I guess you must be bored and want to incite a nice flame war topic. Not to mention you are a very whishy washy player. One day you are for the game then the next you're chastising it.

People can point out things they don't like in any game. But not everyone will agree with you. I've been playing/subscribed since launch and I still look forward to playing every chance I get.

Problem is, I see a lot of complaining (some complaints that I partially agree with) and very little suggestions to fix the problem.

This 100% so many posts are "fix this now" like the person complaining it isn't fair every one can see S ranks now
Sure I've complained over the game before but I've also offered a solution along side it
I do feel alot of the games issues could be easily solved by having a public test server though, a lot of problems that arise due to them not being tested

No, those problems don't cause people to quit. The problem is today's gamers want everything now, and don't understand that spending far too much time in a game to get all those shiny new things as soon as they can actually tires them out from the game. They are essentially children and don't have any self-control because of it. Then, after they plow through everything in the game that's interesting, the bitch about how there isn't enough to keep them interested.

Want to enjoy the game more, and elongate its lifespan? Pace yourself, be patient, and try to stop with the modern-day gaming mindset.

Just my opinion, ofc.

Alot of solutions are posted though, comb through that Japanese player blog post, lots of suggestions and solutions that make sense and that can benefit the game. Its not worth posting or elaborating on good ideas and fixes because inevitably someone equips "SE Loyalty" gear and goes to battle with you over every little point, and there fellow brethren of like-minded sheep follow suit right after that. Either that or the most common "this games not for you, find another game" responses come flooding in. Put's a damper on solutions and suggestion posting real quick.
