If you quit a game for something so small, then your interest in the game is rather shallow.Quote:

Are you serious? In the forums related to ANY game on the face of this Earth there will be discussions and proposals to change or retain every single mechanic. The fact that someone dislikes a mechanic and advocates it's change on a thread is NO proof that such a mechanic should be changed. Otherwise every mechanic in every single game would change once per patch.Quote:
Don't even know where to start here. The fact that any of these discusions are even taking place, is because the game itself is, and has been, in question of whether it is liked or not. Those defending it are starting to sound like the ones that are holding it back the most.
You have absolutely no evidence that changing the mechanics YOU want changed the game will receive a large playerbase, instead of, for instance, losing the playerbase it has.Quote:
The game needs a larger playerbase. Without any proof of that, can you argue against me in saying it?
Again, you assume without any kind of evidence that you're in the majority. And even if the majority of people found issue in the game, you have absolutely no idea of the reason of each of them, or of the majority. They can easily dislike the game for completely different reasons than yours, and they may just as easily dislike just PART of it, while still liking some of the core mechanics. I personally know a crapton of people that don't play the game just because of lack of content. That's always a major factor in modern MMORPGs.Quote:
There are more people saying they dislike the game, than like it.
Some (keyword: some) changes need to be made, guess what, I proposed quite a few myself. This doesn't mean I won't (or shouldn't) argue against changes i do NOT like.Quote:
than those of you playing, and defending the game, need to be able to accept that changes need to be made, and some of those changes you might not like.
Sorry to burst a bubble, mate, but you don't possess the absolute truth and you aren't automatically right. Looks like people having different opinions and ideas about the game (and being able to express them) kinda infuriates you. Well, make peace with that, because it'll always be like that, and those people have exactly as much right to express their ideas as you do.

03-11-2011, 03:09 AMryuuseikanI apologize for making the unintended generalization. By no mean I am annoyed by people back up their ideas with facts and precedents. Let me rephrase my original reply... and thanks for catch that one for me.Quote:

I'd say people left XIV because there was a ridiculous amount of bugs at release and a piss poor UI, add to that the fact that there was no content aside from leves and a few story quests and well, people didn't find the game enjoyable. You can't really say that 90% of the people that left wanted XI-2, especially without some real numbers to back it up.Quote:

It's easy to see why the forums on fansites have been filled with nothing but arguments. I have proposed any of my ideas on this thread thus far. But people assume and argue that I think what I'm saying it right. Yes I'm saying the game needs change. And yes I'm saying I see more people that play and say they enjoy the game arguing against changes, than offering them. My opinion. Chew away at it all you.

03-11-2011, 03:52 AMAkumuEveryone is very passionate about this game and its potential success and these forums really show it. We all can agree on one thing and we want something better and what that "better" is creates the arguments. We all have a good idea about our direction but until we actually get on the path this "forum battle" wont slow down. Once we do hit the path the forums will turn to the normal minority complainers(trolls) saying Yoshi-P the game fails Blah Blah Blah.. Which is completely normal as shown by most good MMOs.Quote:

I actually don't mind the battle system the way it is now, since it is something i've never seen in an MMORPG. Its speedy, and it still requires some thought put into it.
I think the only huge mistake in FFXIV was the release date. I know it wasn't ready for a release, I wish it would have been pushed back a couple months. Oh well though, I'm just more interested in the artwork of it. Akihiko Yoshida happens to be my favorite VG Concept Artist. =) No way I'm leaving this game, I'm sure it will be a really fun game down the road.
See? I love to try to copy the art style ^_^;

I am fan BOY!
I have 42 fans of various sizes, folding fans, cooling fans, fan fans!
Dude, we played FFxi for a long long time, time for something new. If you like FFxi [many of us do it's a great game] then continue to play it.
