Newest interview (abyssea was a mistake?)

[Natasha]

This is a GAME, not work, not stock market, no one should do "investment" of any kind other than to log in, go play and have fun, repeat infinitum over and over. Yes in a way, any gaming experience is just another way of wasting our free time, hence it should not feel like work where you have to invest. When I log out of the game, everything about the game means absolutely nothing to me.

Already explained what I think about your game theory.

Saevel, thank you for saying it like it is. Your post summed it up quite nicely. The old ways are retarded, stupid, and just plain suck. Long live abyssea!! Voidwatch is not perfect but at least those crap and logs are all mine and I can blame my luck for not getting the gears or for getting it the 10th time.

Yes, I play for fun, and you play to find some "meaning and accomplishment overcoming great challenge" To each of their own I suppose, and now FFXI is giving both of us different ways to enjoy the game.

[Natasha]

I'm sorry but the most annoying thing about old FFXI was sitting around and waiting for everyone else to get there to get started. hell that is still the most annoying thing.

"hey guys, event starts at 5!"

/gets to the event right at 5.

/other people wait till 5 to start to move to the area.

/is now 6 and event is finally starting.

Yeah, that was REAL fun.

Not every second should be volatile fun, its not like this game was made so that every second will get adrenaline flowing. Part of the game is communication, and part is strategy~ Waiting is inevitable in any online game, dont expect it all to be action.

If an event is suppose to start at a certain time, I expect it to start at that time. Is that really to much to ask for? lol

I don't get anything from ffxi anymore cept maybe nostalgia... still enjoy it but if i hadnt have played it before abyssea and started after, I wouldnt be playing today.

Thats a people problem, not a game mechanic problem.

[Kimble]

Thats a people problem, not a game mechanic problem.

And direct teleporting helps alleviate that problem.

An unnecessary and detracting fix.

[Kimble]

So you're perfectly fine waiting around and not doing anything for an hour while everyone else gets there even though you were on time?
