World spawning HNM

[Romanova]

looks like they went to lolWoW.

you honestly think they'd come back because of world spawns? really?


Most of my friends who left FFXI in the first place was because they were sick of world spawns.


I admit, I'm one of them. I came back because one friend who stayed kept telling me how abyssea changed everything. And honestly, I didn't even believe him then, but wanted to change something up because I wanted to take a break from healing on my priest.

Other friends who I've talked to, don't believe it either. They are sick of how much a grind/timesink ffxi was and it's hard to convince them that isn't the case anymore.

I can't imagine at all world spawns would bring people back, it'd more likely make them laugh and think how lucky they are they didn't give abyssea a shot in the first place.

I KNOW WHO YOU ARE!!!!!! ;p

I KNOW WHO YOU ARE!!!!!! ;p

:P should have known sooner!

But I am completely serious. I don't want to see this game reverting back to the way it was, as I think that is what will kill it way faster than anything else they could do.

[Sureal]

so, why are you still here then

i think that is the question of the day

I still talk to them via skype, at least 5 would be back on my end. And i talked to ppl from other LS who said they a know 15 ppl. so thats 20 ppl right there. Theres probably somewhere in the thousands if 2 ppl can find 20 willing to come back.

I know 1000 people who quit because of stupid land spawns, but they cant speak up because they quit in disgust with the game and dont want to talk about it.

lol uhhhh, no

i was deep in endgame and i know of no one that would come back for that

Th Devs seem to be avoiding answering the question. All things considered, I think they already have plans for what they want to do and I'm curious about it. I can't see them doing away with the mechanic for good, but I would like to know if they plan to or not. I'm sure the rest of you would like too as well.

I also would like to know what they are going to do regarding the ps2 limitations... But that's another subject they seem to be avoiding, lol.

I know people who quit the game because they couldn't put THAT MUCH TIME to play this game durring their free time...

I know people who quit the game because their Endgame LS keeps breaking when they have enough LS points to be able to get unfinished AF2s in dynamis or other endgames.

I know people who quit cause they couldn't reach lvl75. (Mainly RDM friends)

I know people who quit cause it took waay to long to get their lvls and felt like they could be playing a better game thats actually more fun on challenges and less on grinding.

I know people who would never participate on HNMs after getting kicked from an HNM LS for not dropping what he/she was doing for someone else's drops.

I know people who wanted items but eventually gave up because there was TOO MUCH TIME SINKs and Very low Challenging elements which made it boring and not worth doing.

I had so many good friends and met so many random players who just were sick of how the game was and quit.
SE is trying to make the game more friendly for their customers who want to game. I support SE for this.
But encouraging the game to go back to what it used to be will only encourage the game to be for the minority.
SE would make better money encouraging gamers to PLAY on their own schedule than encourage minority who have all the time in the world to camp HNMs or other time sinks to prevent majority of the player's enjoyments.

there are many more reasons why a lot of players quit, HNMs are defiantly one of them.
I don't log on to afk for window. I Log on to play the Game! If I'm being encouraged not to play but wait for window, then there is a problem.

A gamer wants to play games, Not afk and do something else because the game does NOT allow them to Play.

A Gamer doesn't want to be FORCED to play their game, They want to CHOOSE to play their game when they want too. The old HNM system FORCED you to get on the game on a certain time to get a chance at "Claiming" HNM which sucked.

Keep in mind, Not everybody wants to waste time playing a game.
Majority just wants to enjoy their time playing a game.

you don't 1,000 ppl where you pull that # from? Also i don't really think ppl would quit bc of HNM, not enough to sway a decision anyway. Quit bc you can't claim if you want, im not a quiter.

btw REAL gamers take on any and all challenges, they don't QQ when they can't win, the get better.
