RE:Sad endiing to a fun game.. (cont.) <Revnwolf,Sierrawolf>

:(:mad:Now...lets see if i can get this right...kept hitting enter doing in-incomplete posts sorry all. As i was stating i had to leave the game bout 1 1/2yrs ago due to sever RL issues.I tried to check in on ffxiah etc. to see what was what.When i left i had about 20milg and about 250milg in gear....last i checked the AH tanked and most of my stuff worthless:mad: Why...in the world would SE take their long-time players....not start of game but close...and screw them outta all they worked so hard for,for yrs and yrs.I found it insulting and disgraceful.5-6yrs of hard farming,camping NM's,crafting etc. all gone to waste.If i came back now i would be a noob again,having to try and make 400mi+ just to get some decent items.Soooo many loooong hr's,weeks,months,yrs farming etc. obiding by the game law's...and now all my gear may as well be lvl 1.How do you treat your long time,non-cheating,hard working,alway's helping other player-type people with such disdain? a HQ stave?? were 1.5mil...now?? 20k same with all the "old" nice gear....will never be able to sell and get back into action in FFXI.Just wanted to see if i was only one who got hosed like this....can't be.If i was running this company,all my longtime player's,even one's that had to leave for extended time period,with respect and honor,I guess i'm old fashioned.The idea of this type of game is to work hard/long...to get item's others can't just buy 1-2mil gil and buy....they'd have to spend 1k rl to get enough gil to get,and then keep that nice item your good players worked so hard for @ a high lvl.If that mean's adding stats to it based on time invested in game,invested in helping others,farming,crafting etc....and allow them to upgrade their favorite gear/weapon/item with item they can easily get,but people that never help,use others,buy gil, and get non-stop PL,have to take 3-4yrs to get.That's how you keep your best player's intrested in your game,and involved even after the next mmo ffx?* game comes out....not by screwing them outta all they worked hard to get by letting market tank,and making lvling,obtaining items and upgrades hella easy. Hell maybe i'm the only person that feels this way,but i don't think so.I hope you SE developers will read this (DOUBTFUL) and see why you lost so many of your best PEOPLE,not keeping the user's and abuser's....and will see when the new FF comes out the best player's and PEOPLE will be staying away, I know i probably will.

Happy gaming and God Bless Revnwolf.

Admittedly i didn't read all of that blob-post.

Sorry you based your entire review of the game on wealth and material worth instead of content. You're really missing out.

The Game has changed, and most people agree for the better. It has its flaws, But its still expanding. Then again, With your attitude, Its clear you would no longer enjoy the game.

I won't go into more detail than that, I like my account, I don't want it banned.

wall of text = fail.
tl;dr;

btw abyssea equip is free and is the current top gear...

You don't need 400milg to get the latest gear.
You need to play the game to get the latest gear.
I think you need to read up on whats changed before you can make such a post.

NB: If there is a training on how to create posts on forums, so that people will be inticed to read it, I suggest you go find it and follow it. This wall of text is just horrible.

WALLOFTEXT

First of all, I struggled really really hard reading through all that. You really need to use paragraphs. :(

But yeah - you aren't the only one whose top notch gear's been outdated and/or made (nearly) worthless. Hell, I paid around 16 mil to finish my Ares Cuirass - today those Imperial Wootz Ingots sell for between 45-50k each. I paid 28 mil for Dusk Gloves +1 - they now sell for less than 3 mil at the AH. Am I bitter? Nah. It's pretend money after all!

And as others already pointed out - you do NOT need 400+ mil to pimp out your character. You barely need any gil at all, in fact. The vast majority of the best gear available is ra/ex, all you need is a bit of time and preferably a few good friends to do stuff with.

Taking into account that this is a game versus real life, 1 Year In Game is probably equivalent to about 10 Years IRL. So, imagine leaving somewhere and coming back in 15 years. People are gone, buildings are gone, your favorite restaurant closed and 3 other businesses have been in that spot. It's pretty funny to think that the game would go on hold for 1 and 1/2 years while you were gone. Yup, we all sat around and waited for your return. So, yes, all your gear is not the top anymore. But, every experience point and merit you got is still there. So, you can come back and continue or you can decide that it isn't worth your time to catch up.

Actually, I was referring to the fact if i went into further detail, I would likely Insult said person for being a complete moron and basing his entire perspective of the game based on how much gil his gear is worth, rather the all the new content since he quit.

And i don't wanna get reported for cursing his idiocy back into oblivion :X

I have not now nor have i ever bought gil :| I don't even use Windower. And no im not just saying that cause this is the official forum D: I'm a goodie-goodie :(

Line breaks are your friend, people. :p
