I think he has the right idea.
This game is on the expressway to sh*tville and its breaking the speedlimit. Nothing in that roadmap is anything more than a minor curiosity with no real meat or interesting information. I'm not really going to blame the devs for this either. after 10 year, You either borrow ideas from other games, or you run out. But FFXI purists (A.K.A Retard Fanboys) cry if SE borrows something even remotely similar to another game, Even UI Tweaks (Hint: Yes, I'm calling anyone who complains about UI Tweaks being more like "WoW" an inbred retard. Deal with it). They're all entirely too oblivious to realize gaming companies thrive off borrowed ideas that work well, MMO's are no different.
Point of this rant is a little lost to me as well, I quit because I'm low on cash, If I had the cash, I'd still probably of quit. Its just gotten boring, Monotonous, and I'm tired of never progressing at all even if i spend an entire day doing an event. When i was younger, It wasn't much a problem, Friends, new world, excitement of the unknown... today, I'm ready to be entertained and enjoy a game, have fun with it, not to feel like I'm paying someone to go to a job every day.
Now, Just in case this point escapes you, Please, Continue to have fun with a game, but do remember, people who leave this game are doing nothing more than finally breaking the addiction and realizing that no, sodomizing yourself with a boot labeled "FFXI" is not fun. Eventually you'll all wake up and realize that, especially if content keeps going this direction.
The best you can hope for is looking back on the game and thinking about how much you enjoyed it, once its all come to pass. its why I'm dropping out now... I want to remember this game fondly, not keep going until the only memories i have left are 0/400 on VW Drops and "Whoever" continues turning this game that I once loved to play more than any other game ever, into a steaming pile of dead sh*t.
... I still like keeping up with the games progression, Check in every day or so. Hoping maybe they change the direction of the game, or release enjoyable content thats challenges extend beyond the drop rates. I also like the community... Mostly. So I haven't completely given up on FFXI, I'm just at the point my faith is low enough to not warrant 12.95.
