The Nasty Duty Finder and ETC
I love this game and I think this is one of the most beautiful games there is to date. But I have a few gripes with it that I think that will ultimately end and crush this game, and keeping it from taking the number 1 spot. Here they are:
1 - The Duty Finder, while useful and makes life easier, it is the biggest thing that kills this game. I understand it adds more players, and less chance of a server merge, but the thing is it kills the playerbase, and what I mean is everything that is an MMO it takes away from. Playing with your friends, building something with people. I play with many people, but yet i feel like im playing alone. I can make no connection with other players because i feel like Im punished for playing with people from my own server and my own party. I dont know anyone that I play with, on a level to put them on my friends list and keep talking with them everyday oh wait everyone I play with is on a different server because Duty Finder joins people with different servers. It should be with people only on the same server at least.
2 - Open World Events/Notorious Monsters - While FATEs were awesome at first, but the truth is they are to help out with the grind, and in between dungeons. One world, Exploration while this is a beautiful game exploring feels like a lackluster. I don't have any will I survive moments, or I wonder whats in this cave? an bad ass enemy?! Add Event Fate NMs and I dont mean enemies that are used to level off of, I mean drops rare items, craft items, unique gear. And more open world events that you dont need the duty finder, the duty finder limits what you can create for your game.
3 - Class adversity - Do something, Let your players be who they want to be, and play how they want to play. Don't limit them to one class just this certain thing.
This are my 3 biggest issues. I love this game, and I love how it plays but ultimately it kills me because I feel like Im playing by myself. It doesnt force me to communicate like other MMOs do.
