FFXI needs some more new content then just delve

So you took a break from ToAU until last year. The means you missed 4 years? 5 years? of how the game developed in that time period. That's almost half the entire life of the game. You missed the entirety of the WotG era and it sounds like a vast majority of the ToAU era. This pretty much sums it up, my accusations of you wearing rose-colored glasses seem to be pretty accurate. You haven't experienced how this game has developed but you feel that you are an expert on that development. You clearly have no idea how long SC/MB has been gone because you weren't around for it.

I understand you took a strong stand and now feel that you can't back down without losing face, but it's time. You don't know what you're talking about, just admit it and walk away. Calling me a troll doesn't make me any less right, it makes you look like a sore loser.

Have i gotten rude and "judgmental"? Yeah probably. Mostly as a result of you complete ignorance of how the game has developed. You have consistently made statements about how this game was destroyed by abyssea, but most if not all of your examples are things that changed years before abyssea. You missed out on years of changes in this games, not just the 6 months of abyssea releases.

You have exposed your ignorance on the subject, I'm done here.

You don't need a bunch of 99 delve DD's to get 315k an hour, I joined a party yesterday and the keyer was keeping track of xp an hour. After about 30 minutes after I joined we were at 330k/hour. Delve MNK can kill worms in as little as two attack rounds. We only had a couple 99's, delve MNK, 99 SAM, and maybe 2 more, most were still leveling.

Yet this whole time I wasted several hours debating with Slaxx about this but he refuses to take a second and be open minded of the possibility. Trying to point out that its absolutely impossible and that Im a bullshitter. Thank you Darkhorror.

Actually i did quit when Wing of the Goddess expansion came out why I is said ToAu I dunno im tired right now, Seriously you have issues though, Im not being ignorant, and this isnt some race of who knows better, big deal i pointed out some historic changes with my opinion on how these changes effected the way the game is now.

There is plenty of evidence that I already stated of how certain changes gave its effects so please save it for someone that cares really, I shouldn't even have replied to you to begin with.

All I was really saying was in the past they filled a lot of players time with levelling. Take that away and it shines how content can so quickly become stale. I was only generalising, course there is content that is good still and can be fun, and of course the community can be fantastic still depending on who you socialise with. I was simply just saying the majority of the remaining players in an old game are the most dedicated to playing and getting gear (because of age so we agree, I just didn't clearly say it) which means the majority don't socialise as much as say before when a lot more people were running around.

That was actually my first post here in months, and I barely ever check the forums, however... I played this game for 9 years only quitting earlier in the year, so it has played a massive part in my life. I grew up with this game and it has helped me through a lot of hard times in real life so I can't help but still feel attached in some way. Also with the FFXIV beta at the weekend I just thought I'd check out how FFXI is going these days and thought I'd share my views. I believe anyone is entitled to their say on the game no matter whether they have quit or not, as long as they have played the game and especially for as long as I and many others have.

You really sound like an awesome person, Wish you came back and got to know each other in game =)

they added plenty of new content, an expansion pack's worth in fact (with more to come it seems). the problem is the current boss decided the game is about gear acquisition only-fair enough, for many players it is. But his tiered system didn't work as intended as players are capable with a mixed group to skip over reive gear and skirmish gear and go straight to delve. The obvious answer will never fly-make skirmish alot harder and make delve that much harder than skirmish so you DO have to go Rieve>>Skirmish>>Delve. Problem is, I don't think there is a non-obvious answer, adding an event with gear beyond Delve just means people will skip delve too, and then be on here whining about why there isn't more to do.

My thought, add a new HNMLS system so they can go off and have their little circlejerk like they did for years-just make it unnecessary for the rest of us so we aren't killed progress-wise by the monopolization of that content. Not like HNMs were ever difficult-I beat the ones I did with PUGs after all and no study-but the competition was to get claim. well grinding NMs in Aby has thoroughly cleansed me and most of the other casuals of any desire to fight for an NM anymore so they'll be welcome to that system; the rest of us will just grind the instanced content to get end-game gear and keep playing for fun.
