    You Know they should have given some of seekers content for free.

    They should have just given the city part of western adoulin and eastern adoulin and the waypoints quests for free. No other Quests. , but one.

    Then given only the mission for the reives part for ceizak battlegrounds and yahse hunting grounds for free and able to earn bayld , but unable to spend it. unless you got the expansions unlocked.

    With the scaredy-cats quest they only can go that area if the quest active and once finish it lock them out. , unless content code for the expansion activated.

    This way it would allow more people to do the reives and help the colonization rate. , also make those on the fence be like you know what time to get seekers.

    if i had known what this new expansion was like i wouldn't have bought it to begin with. Its a broken expansion that divides the player base even more so then any time in FF:XI history.

    The developers said from the start that seekers was for high level players. I would assume that meant well geared players also, I think that's what most of you fail to realize.

    Yes then why even put in the colonization system and the reive system if only the most elite players are able to play it. That system was design for alot of players though and only about 10% of the people are the most elite or hardcore geared to even do them on a decent time. I can tank all the mobs with dancer in ceizak reives, but when there only 2 or 3 other people not worth the 2 hr fight , when I can just hide and use my Bst. Then all the quest were design for exp points , since most those people had there jobs to lv99. It just divided up what users they had left and made alot of people quit.

    I feel they just released it to make some fast cash for ff14.

    I think most people can agree that , It is fine to have it so you need the most elite players and elite geared players and gil selling sites and linkshells and website clans. Should always have stuff to do.

    Yet they took the game backwards again like CoP. For those of us that like to just have fun with are friends with really good gear that we earned and at a normal pace to get are better gears in SoA.

    Does not matter anymore for me ff14 sold me this last weekend , I borrowed my friends ps3 and got a beta code. Thats the game for me now days., plus all my friends going over there now. Just sucks losing the 10 yrs I put into this game.

    The problem is the expansion's systems depend on a lot more than just the best of the best players participating. you can't make a whole expansion just for the hardest of the hardcore. SE is quickly proving that it just doesn't work out well.

    Another problem I see is the massive disconnect between the expansion's main attractions: Delve and Colonization. There is very little in the way of a symbiotic relation between the two. You CAN argue that you must clear reives/get waypoints to get to the delve nms outside but that is hardly anything I would call symbiotic. Prior to SoA the devs did a great job of making most events related to others in some shape or form. The entirety of ToAU was well crafted in that one could participate in one feature and yet still make headway towards another, namely assault missions and salvage as the best example. Later Devs made it so that conquest/campaign/Imperial standing, points could be used for Voidwatch stones and thus raised some interest in those areas.

    Right now there is nothing in the way of a symbiotic relation between Delve and colonization anything aside gaining gear to simply toss away perhaps in the same day.

    It doesn't take much to know when someone is special. After 5 minutes if the person is alive and well you have a keeper, if they are dead and obnoxious then toss em like two day old leftovers.

    I knew it was going to be bad, if I could've seen 2 months into the future, I wouldn't even have gotten it either.

    Then again, 11 years ago, I wish I hadn't gotten it in the first place, man I'd be so happy to have never started... but that's a whole different side topic.

    I do have to admit though... while I don't really enjoy wasting my time, watching people wipe to delve NM's really does entertain me, though watching the people wipe to VW was also equally entertaining, if not more so....

    I have the "nothing better to do" issue that plagues me. I work nights, so I usually get off work between 11pm-1am.

    Kids are asleep, TV usually is pretty boring, and there's truly NOTHING better to do than play FFXI. It's really a last resort at keeping myself somewhat entertained at this point. And obviously it's not working. I spend most of my time of FFXI tabbed out trolling various "Delve is haaaarrrddd gimme free shinies!" posts...

    Same boat dood. I hate everything, I just happen to hate (used to) ffxi slightly less than anything else. I don't watch tv, I don't watch movies, I don't listen to music. It's literally the lesser of two (many) evils...
