Thought I'd share these videos with everyone. I didn't have any part in making them but they are great and should shed some light on why I'm no longer going to pay a subscription to this game.
Edit : I'd advise watching them in the order I posted but meh. It's all on youtube so don't feel like your going to any untrusted site.
Posted in another thread but thought it should be posted in both to get a larger audience....yes, I feel it should be shared.
I'm not trying to influence anyone to unsub, just saying that I won't pay for this game anymore because of what I consider good reasons. Know what assuming does?
ARR often feels very contradictory in its design (long)

You can avoid this by leveling alts, but then you'll still have to pool 31 or more levels into other classes in order to maximize the potential of the main class. Certainly, no one would want to gather 4050 mythology per week, but the armory system and raid lockouts are not separate issues. Anything that applies to multiple classes due to FFXIV's all-in-one armory system where it otherwise would not is thereby related. That's not to say that FFXIV gimps one's potential to level multiple classes generally. It is only the specific system they give that does so, and avoiding it, if one has the time, becomes the superior choice. "Here's your unique system. By the way, you won't be able to collect more that 450 myth per week if you use it." -

Would really like to see a response to this, agree with many of the arguments the OP brings up. I think many would like to know exactly what direction they intend to take with the game.

01-19-2014, 12:46 PMVandarkI posted some things about the way I feel when it comes to how the devs handle these forums and here are some points from the thread I posted in.Quote:

What is it about constructive criticism they can't handle exactly, is it simply so over bearing that it becomes easier for them to just sweep forums like this under the rug?
Even if massive numbers care about many of the issues being ignored by the devs, the devs are still giving more attention to very small positive threads.
It's a shame because many of these constructive threads could result in very positive things for ARR if given more attention.
2. They decide what they want the public to view and it's mostly silly things despite all the important things that are really being talked about the most but this seems to mean nothing of importance to them.
3. They simply hide from negativity instead of addressing it and perfecting there game.
4. I personally do not believe half the topics that make the front page are important enough that they needs to be on the front page at all, there are more important threads that get lost in the dark due to the Devs simply leaving them in the dark. -
01-20-2014, 01:09 AMZanfireI really think the devs think we want this to be a giant fan service game. HEY LOOK! we got meteria/limit-breaks/FF monsters/moogles/jobs/FATE bosses named from FFXI/Dungeons from other games...hell characters from other games...and on and on it goes. Some fan service is nice once in a long while, but having your own ideas is what made something like FFXI great...the damn game has a lore book (only in japan sadly) thats like phone book thick, there was just such a major effort to give the world its own history and machanics that are its own and not crap we have already seen to shove on the back of the box.Quote:

There's something I've noticed over the past month or so.
I always seem to see the same threads on the front page of the forums. This one, usually a couple of others. They're always there on the front page, usually near the top. However, whenever I check them, there's maybe one...possibly two new replies.
This indicates to me that the forums aren't very healthy. Even with all the over-the-top restrictions in place, the forums should be more busy the more players there are.
I'm not trying to say "OMG TEH GAME IS DYING!" but it does concern me. -
01-20-2014, 01:16 AMZanfireYah thinks like that "we would like to see NM's back" thread. That thing had over 3,000 likes and was over 300 pages long...and all we got was "no, we dont like people competing"....which i found F'n hilarious since they changed 1.2x's combat purely for the sake of making it viable for PvP, which we now have....so whats all this about anti-competition? If i find the thread il edit it into here.Quote:
