The OFFICIAL "I intend on Quitting, and here is why" Thread

[Ravenmore]

That review is from 3 months ago before the true numbers of 14 were known and before SE fially amitted they will have to merge servers.

[Elphy]

As I said I love how ppl who play xi will not admit xiv may have some merit or a future, even if they do not currently or have ever played the game. Its the old ffxi vs WoW thing all over again lol.

And to top it off if there is a review that speaks of how the game is improving or may have a future its poopoo'd immediately.

Its just silly

[Kimble]

Only one? That review really didn't say much besides "its getting a little bit, but still needs a lot of work"

[Ravenmore]

What also speaks for it is the first results that come up on google are negative. I thnk you put in "good reviews for FF14" cause just putting in reviews for FF14 yeilded the IGN.com review bashing it to hell. Even FF11 hasn't shed its past even though it is now easier and faster to level then WoW.

I think you are missing the point.

Can XIV make a come back? I believe most say its possible but they wouldn't count on it. SE can say things that make everything sound great, but then implement poorly.

Sadly, need to realize, this game wont even been relevant again till 2013 and by then, even more MMOs can come and people will forget all about it. Star Wars is already starting up, and if GW2 comes out before then, that could very well kill anything XIV has going fo rit.

Ends convo here ^^

I admit it may make money I also admit it did far more damage then can be measured at this time. The PS3 is over a year off and with so many MMOs out and the fanboys of old Final Fantasy waking up it doesn't look good. The final Fantasy name has been taking hits for years and the fanboys of it are now leaving it behind. FF11 came out in a time when MMO were new and the FF name wasn't as tainted, now people know what they want to expect out of MMOs and SE is behind the times.

Still unsure, but I could very well be quitting in the coming weeks. If I do, the reasons are:

- Friends driven away from FFXI by recent changes, or went to new MMOs.

- Lack of casual new content (options limited when most of your friends quit).

- Unobtainable goals. 1500 Heavy Metal Plates, or soloing a relic is something I might grind through if the 99 Trial didn't look to be so absurd. But even now, with the way the game is going, the effort doesn't seem to be worth it, even if the 99 trial turns out to be bowing to a Magian Moogle.

- Game seems to be headed back to complacency/stagnation.

I'm in Fran's LS and just quit this month. This is exactly the sentiment I've been having.

I don't think I will quit FFXI anytime soon. I am frustrated at a couple of things, but I don't think that is enough to make me quit.

Right now, I am working an extra job, which basically takes all off my FFXI time, except for some on the weekends. So if this is the down point for the next couple of months, it comes at a good time for me, because I am missing it.

I main RDM. If you don't know why that would make me contemplate quitting, then you don't main RDM. Several jobs are very under powered or unattractive compared to others, but they aren't balancing this game in a method that inspires confidence. WAR and MNK needed nerfs? No Duh! You missed NIN, but outside of aby it's not such a big issue. So my question is, why start with the bad news for popular jobs, instead of starting with the good news for jobs that actually need it? There is no transparency on what is coming for the jobs that actually need attention. We have no idea when the jobs that are actually hurting are getting fixed, if ever.

2nd issue is when are we getting new story? We were told Cait Sith and Atmos were coming for SMN. I assumed that we would get new stories with that. I love Nyzul, so I'm assuming I'll actually be able to get people together for that more consistently after they do revisions. I don't mind if SE wants to get more mileage out of current content by making it more accessible like they did with dynamis, but I completely expect new plot lines on something in the near future. This game was semi-story based at one point. The story for aby is, once upon a time adventures were so bored of their own world, that they were willing to go save an alternate reality for the promise of better loot...that's it. There wasn't anything new or interesting TBH.

To voice my opinion of FFXIV vs FFXI, it's simple. The crafting in FFXIV was awesome. What you made with crafting was completely pointless, because the combat was boring and unimpressive and the story line was awful. Anyone that played FFXI at any point can tell you that the jobs in FFXIV are a low point and the game shouldn't be called FF because it doesn't use FF jobs. There are many things that FFXIV failed to achieve for it's players that FFXI got right on day one or shortly there after. Everyone expects FFXIV to be better than FFXI and that is what is going to have to happen if they want FFXIV to ever see the light of day with a profit.

Make a decision SE. At some point you are going to run out of interest in your MMOs if you don't start taking this seriously. I'd rather not play FFXIV because I enjoy FFXI significantly more. If you let FFXI become stagnant and you don't make REAL changes to FFXIV that cater to FFXI players, then you won't be keeping us. I played FFXIV at beta and i played it 5 months later for a month. Both times were complete disappointments. FFXIV at some point may or may not be worth picking up a 3rd time, but I'm not holding my breath and I'm not paying SE a dime until they restore some actual confidence in their game.

Ok i'm not quit this game since i play this game more than 7th years and still have friend to play with if i will quit this is my reason.

1. No more friend to play with anymore.
2. Dev Team still use easy way to develop game

- Nerf Job instead Improve other -
- More 16 ppl NM or BC with evilness drop rate - I want to play with friend more than random ppl on events, oh god i can't find any after abby. even VW on first stat we do with only 6 ppl may lose and win but it's fun with friend who care about how many death. But after that It become impossible to lowman so we stop bother with it. Each of us need to go catch random ppl VW. That is no more fun for me so i nv do it again.
- Make only Hardcore base
