Sighs

I really enjoy this game, and it sucks that everytime I come to forums people are bitching about everything that SE is doing. I think that in the few months that XIV has been out SE has done more that it really needed. Were there problems in the beginning? Yes. Is there things that could be fixed or tweaked? Yes. But everyone focuses on what they dont like, and cries "I quit because SE didnt cater to exactly what I wanted" I am at the point now where i hope everyone that cries because SE didnt kiss there butt actually does quit because for every one person that leaves, there are 100s more that appreciate what SE is doing and are here for the long haul.

All of my internets, please take them. No questions asked, just take them. NOW.

I mean this is just what you have with this community now-a-days. Just lots of bitter players. The only reason to read these forums is because you're a masochist, especially after the announcement of a nerf. Everyone is most recently infected with some e-sports kind of thinking where a nerf or new items invalidate their content, and they're all quitting because it's not an MMO from a decade ago.

Basically, no matter how, ( in XIV's case) ,good the Devs do, there will always be haters.

It's a unending cycle!

I have actually been in the hospital for the last few weeks recovering from an accident and logged in and the forums are my home page. I dont read them because i am a masochist or looking to troll, I truely use the forums what they are meant to be used for. Getting and offering help, but when you click on new posts and its 5 pages of whines, and i am not talking about just after big announcements eithers, every day there are multiple threads on how SE didnt bow down and kiss someone's feet and now there quitting because other people may get a chance to enjoy the game now too. Its kinda sad people's e-peens shrivel when someone else gets to enjoy content

I love the game and have enjoyed playing it and I continue to love it. I like the content and there is still enough for me to keep my busy for a long time coming. I do dislike some of the things like dungeon grinding but heh...don't have a really good answer for what esle they could have done aside from having a lot more content ready to make the farming less mind numbing. I think I could just about run AK with my eyes closed with three different jobs...LOL

Massive amounts of whine, rage and threats that no one is really going to act on. You know every single one is just gonna keep on playing anyway so might as well ignore them.

Why is someone complaining on forums ruining your game experience? People who don't like something have every right to make complaints. If they didn't we might not have this game.

Also, people who are enjoying the game are more than likely playing it.

If you're also worried about complaints, you're essentially adding to the threads with this one. Just saying.

My only complaint is how hollow the open world is. It's not a big enough deal for me to complain about it. I think the dev team are doing really well. Honestly the time between launch and the first expac (what direction the expac goes) define most mmos. Personally I'm planning to get my open world fix from EQN and enjoy the story ffxiv gives. I'm also interested in where ffxiv will be by its first expac.

well the bitching actually worked. a lot of things people complained about and asked for got delivered.

You mean "Remove the weekly lockouts!" before the 2.2 live letter. Post live letter we get " WHY U REMOVE LOCKOUT?!"

"I truely use the forums what they are meant to be used for. Getting and offering help, but when you click on new posts and its 5 pages of whines"...

Here it is "general discussion" and it fills its purpose... If you want to read people helping each other go to "help new player" section, that's all. FYI a forum is not only meant to help each other...

In addition, seeing SE deleting all threads with solid argument s written by legacy players is a shame. Actually, you can read whiner about update but not real debate about 2.0 itself.

Those threads had been obviously closed because they had all degenerated into slanderous mud slinging at the developers, which is actually a violation of the forum terms of service.

As I've been saying since the Alpha, no matter what SE does, there are people who will never be satisfied, and hence are just not worth getting upset over.
