I love this game and all the content it offers.

I don't understand why opinions on a product have to get so personal.

If I go over to Ama... well I am not sure I can post that- an ONLINE STORE and read product reviews... they usually aren't all personal.

I wonder if it's a reflection of product attachment or audience maturity. It's a video game, not a member of your family.

If some people think it's not good for some reasons- big deal. If some people like it- big deal.

I don't get why some people take criticism of the game like a personal insult... and some people act the same way with positive opinions about the game... it's like it's not about the product- people are vying for some imaginary developer attention bandwidth- that I seriously doubt is there.

I think I'm just sick of the cookie cutter dungeon/gear grinders.

Ryios there is a word for people like you it's called MMO hoppers they play every MMO hoping they will offer all never ending content and when they don't they complain and look for the next shiny new MMO. News flash every game no matter what the genre hasn't really changed they have the same mechanic with maybe an added map or one new skill that gamers can do like ie Call of Duty.

The dungeons seem as cramped as the world does, which is my other point. This game does not meet the standard of MMORPG, or the idea of it that I have in mind. Why? because the world is tiny. It's not even tiny, it's absolutely miniscule in comparison for Guild Wars 2 .

I expected more from a Final Fantasy MMO. And I still try to keep a small spark of hope alive.

There have never been an MMO where the boss mechanics were interesting and had innovative design every game is based off of other games and Guild Wars 2 was as unimaginative as the next. What do you expect Square to just shit content out of their ass.

So what you're saying is all games are dull and unimaginative, XIV included? I guess we win!


/eyeroll

Hah! I made a post like this not long ago!

This game is awesome. I keep loving and loving it. Also, the people playing are incredible.

Everyday I meet someone new, or find new, interesting, fun stuff to do!

I'm happy, happy!

I enjoy the game. I have been having a lot of fun with it. I don't rush through everything.

However I am critical of it because I love it. I want it to succeed and grow. The last content patch was 1 step forward, 3 steps back. The next one already looks disappointing (really hope I am proven wrong). I like so many aspects of this game and hope it is a game I can play for a long time. I don't understand how some people come on here and bash bash bash, saying they hate the game. If I hate the game, I stop playing. I don't go on a message board and spend all my time saying it sucks and offering nothing constructive. What is the point in that?

Even though I am not happy with where the game is currently (although I do love the graphics, a couple of the jobs, and the premise)... I am happy that there are people that love it as it is... even though I am taking a break from the game, it will need people to support it through the patches and development.

I will probably check back in on the game after the next big content patch or the first release... so in the meantime, it will need supporters. So I am glad there will be people sticking around supporting the game, until- hopefully- it gets to the point that there is more to do.

Just because some people criticize doesn't mean it's because they see no good or want the game to fail- quite the opposite.

So Skivvy?

I'm not calling the OP a troll. I will just about never use that term as I think it's a cop-out, however, you do see a lot of "bait" threads about how the game is perfect only to see what type of a reaction will follow. His responses were not exactly the most mature, so it could have been seen as him trying to egg things on. However, I think he's just new, and loves the game. Absolutely nothing wrong with that. Perhaps he'll still love the game after a couple of years...more power to him!

What I don't like to see is people jumping to conclusions, like you just did about me not liking nice threads. People who can't have a basic conversation without sweeping generalizations or screaming troll drive me insane. There has been A LOT of that in this thread, mostly from the game defenders.

If people only ever voice praise for the game, nothing is bound to get fixed. How would SE know that people are unhappy with x, y and z? Personally speaking, I have never said I hate the game. There are things I like, and things I dislike. I still play, just not as much as I did when it launched because honestly, I'm getting a little bored. Just a simple fact. Am I wrong for feeling that way? No. Do I assume everyone else in game absolutely must feel the same way as me? No. Am I crying about it? Nope - simply finding other things to fill my time.

While I would agree with you on the fact there are too many individual threads of "I hate this game" and the like, I do think it's a bit wrong to try to discredit those who are genuinely unhappy with the game. Why shouldn't their opinions matter? Since we all shelled out money for this game, I can only assume no one bought it with the intention of hating it from the start. It's wrong to group all those people together as "cry-babies", just as it is wrong to label anyone who loves the game a "White Knight".

I also want to say that I'm a little disappointed that folks jumped in and used insults and put downs on someone who was just stating that they like the game. Particularly someone who already has had a very long thread where they voiced their dislike and concerns about the game that was very well received for the most part. I'm happy that it eventually led to some constructive conversation, but it really feels like if one openly states that they're happy with the game and it's current direction that they can expect to be incredibly aggressively opposed on these forums. Make no mistake, this thread has been incredibly aggressive towards the op all for the crime of... what? Saying that he enjoyed FFXIV? I understand that folks are frustrated for a variety of reasons, many of them voiced in threads of their own, so is it really necessary to come to another thread like this to put down others just to pursue your own thoughts again?

It makes it feel less like those complaining want to actually fix things and would rather just spread discontent.

Anyway. Op? I still enjoy this game a lot too. Keep having fun as best as you can and don't let others get you down!
