You think they actually read our posts?

Is it bad if I have the 'other' problem? I simply have many things I want to do in-game and no time to log on to do them :(

Why should they when apparently you won't read theirs?

I want more content updates too, but you can't just have developers flying off the handle and pushing out a new build everytime they check-in a new change, that just isn't realistic. It's much better to release large, good content patches, than several small broken ones.

SE works on a schedule, this game isn't something they do on their free time in their basements for free. This is their job. To get the job done they go by a schedule given to them by Yoshi P. You know, the person who fixed this game and got it pass a million subs. But to the trolls in this forum the game is always failing no matter how much it has been improved.

Even I who hates, hates, HATES end game can acknowledge this. I don't even like most of the game once you hit level 50.

completely agree.
There is not enough to do until mid-december.
I really worry about population loss until then :(

You're well aware that XIV is actually over 3 years old now, and that having such sparse content laden with so many grind locks like the current DL / weekly Myth cap with hardly any substantial endgame is unacceptable for an MMO, let alone by a company that's already put out 3-4 of their own inhouse games on the market, right?

They promised us this big Jesus patch known as 2.1 with the cut content and barebone expectations being added in about 1.5 months after release, and here we are nearly three months later with the usual, "Please look forward to it" mantra being tossed around with no real date given. They have to seriously reconsider the scope of future patches since that's the true major flaw with this game at the moment.

XIV is three years old, FFXIV ARR isn't even 3 months old yet. You do know that FFXIV was completely wiped clean of content and FFXIV ARR is only using FFXIV's game models and gear at this point. FFXIV plays nothing like FFXIV.

No it's not. It's slightly over 2 months old. Just because 1.0 existed does not mean this is a 3 year old game. The entire time the game was down they were REDESIGNING it. This is a new game, did they use assets they already had? Of course, but developing an MMO takes YEARS (3-5). And what they have done in the short (1 year) amount of time is quite frankly, amazing.

Just to give you an example, WoW was announced in 2001 (development had already been underway for quite some time).

WoW did not launch until almost the end of 2004.

Then when others finally catch up, you complain the content you did at end game is old. Well, maybe if you would not race, you would not be complaining.

I'm getting extremely sick of this arguments.
Why are you people still saying this? This game is so easy to level up, you actually have to force yourself to slow down to go slower.
It's been 3 months, knock it off. People are tired of running the same silly 2 dungeons and wait 30years for a Coil group.
I haven't even bother logging in for 3 days.
But seriously, you guys really...really need to stop the whole "You rushed" Bs. It's not even valid anymore.
Also the person you quote is a Legacy. She probably had only to have level up Acranist/SMN/SCH and she's done.

Also, they need to stop trying to put crap all in one, and release some content here and there.
Just to keep people busy.

Player housing did matter to me, when they said fc only and a lotto system I went I give up. The other issue I have is duty finder burn out. By the time I got to 50 I was so sick of it I never wanted to use it again, hours in que can not join groups or even use chocobo while waiting. The people in duty finder were beyond rude, spitefull mean and just horrible. I took my time leveling doing quests and getting stuck on duty finder waits.
I have a full life and only a hour or two left over to play this a few days a week, The play style is very Japanese in nature. Group work is the most important thing. But i come from the west and i enjoy solo play with optional grouping for friends or high end raid type stuff. i have already turned off my sub due to these reasons.
