Item level / vertical progression query

[predatory]

SE had the chance to make two very different games, and very good games to their respective audiences, had they kept the two dev teams in different parts of the building, but they didn't, and this is the result. Instead of making an expansion like every other actual expansion this game has ever had, (I say actual because aby was 3 mini expansions), and added content, and areas and jobs, they went ahead and drew a line between aby and soa, and in effect made a new game out of ffxi, and destroying everyone's hard work in the bargain. Then to top it off they make an update months later that makes AF1 relevant (haven't used mine for rng since I leveled out of it, my empy looks so much cooler and has much better stats), and RMEs relevant again, and expect us to just eat that turd with a big grin on our faces. "Hey we took 50 things from you months ago, we'll give you a couple back, that should make you happy" Well sorry SE it doesn't, not one little bit, I'll be happy when you give back everything you fucking took from me, and make this newest piece of shit you polluted the internet with playable.

Oh one more thing about the ilevels SE you can stick them in FFXIV where they belong, or you can stick them up your ass, (I really don't care which), but you need to take them out of FFXI, they don't belong here, they aren't wanted here, and you lost a lot diehard players over it, but hey guess that's your job right? Customer unsatisfaction?

Edited to let you guys know I know unsatisfaction isn't really a word, but what the hell if SE can just destroy MMORPGs at a whim, I may as well destroy the English language
