Why aren't you subbing to Final Fantasy XIV now that the trial period is over?

Because it's Saturday night, prime playing time for me, and I can't even log on to my world because apparently Odin wrecked the servers.

I'm not subbing because I don't need to pay again for another 6 months. =p

Continued to sub because I enjoy the fact it's easy for me to pick up and set down on my whims. I have work hours that constantly change so being able to do things at my own pace is pretty nice. Also have friends who are playing so that's another plus. I can usually get around most of the lag by moving before the attack really starts and I'm playing with about an extra 200-300 ms on top of the normal 300 ms delay there is. It's also one of the few MMO I've actually enjoyed and played more than 2 weeks before stopping because I found it to be boring.

I don't think the complaint topics will go away. The forums are burdened to be the in location for complaints of the game while the lodestone is for the people that enjoy the game.

At first I had really high hope about this game, with all the beautiful world & characters, hoping to play a leisure game that I can spend each day enjoying interacting with ppl. But turn out most, if not all of the endgame contents are in instances - the land of elitists.
The open world is extremely small with only fates to do, then everyone wear the same sets of undyeable/unmeldable gear, unless they spend a fortune on the crafted ones. I can hardly ever see my character's face & hair anymore due to the stupid tribal cowl.
Those are only my personal disappointments. I'm still a MMO vet so Im pretty fine with all the primals fight, fc raids & whatnot, but the unresponsiveness & GCD in ARR combat doesn't really help it either, half of my fc already quit because of that.

I'll probably come back in 2.1, but it's just because there's no other AAA MMOs on the market right now that appeal to me (ARR has great graphic & FF theme, & that's pretty much it). I'm pretty sure this game won't be able to satisfy me in a long term though.

If you aren't subbing, I hope they remove your ability to make stupid posts on the forums, trying to draw others to quit the game as well, with your negative nancy comments.

Because I have a work deadline in a week and won't have time, after that resubbing though. no ffxiv for a week isn't gonna kill me.

Even though the OP does have valid points, it does get tedious to be waiting on the duty finder for 30+ minutes to do a single dungeon or even a primal fight. It also is true that the game is fun up to level 50, then it goes downhill (due to the mindless dungeon/primal spam).

Basically I am subscribing because of the next reasons:

1. I loved the story of the game

2. They improved the game a lot, from what we had in 1.0 this is wonders.

3. The game is not tedious for leveling a single character to max level on one job, you can pretty much level what you like in no time and enjoy it, which is a pro in my eyes, I wouldn't like to have one single class to level 50 spamming all the same fates over and over for a year, then thinking that all DoL and DoH are way slower. That'd be a pain in the butt.

4. I am so fed up of free to play games, I'm over with them, I will try to never touch a free to play game ever again. 15+ years of playing mmos and they all end up being pay to win being "free to play", they get even more expensive than a sub game, look at perfect world international, I used to love that game, the first 2 years were the best then they basically said, give us $5k USD and you'll get the best gear ever. No, I won't do that, ever. I will either play sub games or atleast buy to play games that do not have a pay to win system, such as guild wars 2.

5. I am looking forward for housing, I want my little big mansion to put in my decors and spend time with people I just met, they are fun :) also want to see what pvp will look like, I know this is not a pvp game, but guess it could be fun.

Just my thoughts ^^

PS: Don't tell me to sub to WoW instead, I have played it for less than 2 weeks and will never play that game ever again...

I'm subbing because I've been enjoying the game so far. However, i do have two gripes that would be my primary reasons if I didn't:

1) The currently position delay in the game is unacceptable.
2) So bloody tired of AK. Need at least a few more ways of getting Myth tomes.

I'll be subbing although I think I will quit the forums. I love this game cant wait to get off work everyday and get some game time in. What I dont like is the end game locusts crying about not enough end game content. You knew what was in the game when you bought it and you know when the next content is coming out. If you wanna max everything in 2 weeks then just subscribe for 1 month everytime new content comes out and you will be fine.

So people that are top geared and are bored wait til 2.1 comes out subscribe for 1 month rush that content. In two weeks when you are maxed again you'll almost be done with your subscription. Perfect solution for you guys, then 2 outta 3 months between new content the forums wont be flooded with your whining.
