Not only have i intended on quitting but i am doing so. There just isn't anything new for a low man group to do. I could join an endgame LS but i really don't want to go back to that. Starting at the bottom, points blah blah, been there and done that.

The sad thing is they keep adding WoE areas but since you can no longer solo and get anything even that is a no go. And it just becomes a matter of time before people stop doing them and that leaves those that want to unable to do so.

I even went as far as to make an alt character to dual box with but i was able to get just about everything i needed and level to 99 in about a month. Had i not done this i probably would have quit 2 months ago.

To be honest i only stuck around for the version update. I was hoping that there was more to the update than 99 cap and merit weapon skills. They do tend to with-hold information until the actual update so i was hoping for more. With no new abilities for almost all jobs and more insanely expensive spells i felt cheated. I'm totally tired of the merit grind-fest.

IMO updates are coming way too slow. A year ago they promised more frequent updates yet this lasted a short time. The updates are horribly lacking and unless you are one of their "star" jobs you don't get attention for many updates. Just look at PUP took them forever to fix whats been broken since its release while SAM gets a new JA every update. As a main DNC i was completely disappointed. No new abilities, no fixes to the many complaints, and a new weapon skill that is slightly more powerful than evisceration outside abyssea (and it barely gets enhanced by their horrible JA ternary flourish which was the only thing dnc got last update).

I have played since the release of PS2 version, seen lots of changes good and bad, and i always looked forward to what was to come. As i sit here and think of what's to come all i can think of is more disappointment, merit grinding, ignorance of the player base and their suggestions/comments.

It's sad to see how much negativity is floating around in these forums, but it's to be expected. At least back in the good ol days when updates were ripe with new abilities, spells, content, etc the few disappointments didn't really matter as much because there was lots of good things to over-shadow those disappointments. Now, when you only get 1 ability/spell and its a dud, it hurts more.

Tried FFXIV, sucked, no go.
