This is sad.

As much as i don't like to generalize, it is mostly the americans that feel entitled up their arse.

ya it is which is sad cause not all of us are like that. But most are raised thinking their the most important thing in the universe.

Seeing the video of Yoshi's speech made me tear up. It was like his heart was breaking, and knowing how hard he has worked and following his journey for this project in turn broke mine. It is blatantly obvious he put every ounce of his being into this project, and I am even more happy to play and support the game, knowing that THIS level of passion and dedication is infused within it.

Go Yoshi-P!

This wouldn't be such a huge thing if there was an inactivity time-out helping to clear room on individual servers. Friends of mine have been logged in all day and afk for hours, grocery store, class, etc.

I really don't listen to the naysayers, OP. Yoshi worked his butt off to make this game, and it didn't just show in th game itself, it showed in the many pictures we saw of him at conventions so tired he looked like he was about ready to pass out, but STILL answering questions and giving us live letters and working himself loony. The naysayers can burn in all the seven hells for all I care. This game is spectacular, and for every naysayer troll there are at least a hundred people applauding this awesome product. This is the only MMo I care to play, or will care to play for years to come. Now the adventures really start!

Looking forward to the first expansion pack, Yoshi!!!

FFXI lives for 10 years, XIV will be the same.

It wouldn't kill you if you cannot play the game for a day or two.

Meanwhile the Asian couple next door walked up and asked for a room and they dropped the carpet for them.

Exactly my sentiments on this issue. Oh NA/EU servers a clogged and now those unappreciative Westerners are clogging our Japanese servers. Welp lets fix that and expand the Japanese servers instead of fixing the real problem and bringing more NA/EU servers up. Ridiculous.

Not mention that they have implemented absolutely no methods for removing AFKers. You can literally stand still in the game doing nothing 24hrs a day and will only be logged out if your connection fails or a server reset/maintenance occurs. That is just piss-poor planning no matter how pretty they made the game.

Diablo 3 launch week... Lest we forget.

To each their own. Spectacular? Awesome? There are a host of other problems with FFXIV. But...to each their own. I just don't think this game deserves the praise nor the hate...

Error 1017 is exactly why many people don't log out of fear of not being able to play again for a while. I don't want to be one of those guys that do that but four days of only being able to play during late night hours is pushing me closer and closer to that point.

Why do people think SE is worthy of so much respect? They just follow the trend of other massive and shitty game companies. They are designing their games for graphics over gameplay and story as apparent in FF13 and then continue to shove FF13 sequels down everyone's throats, FF14 1.0 failed terribly, they keep pushing games onto ipads and phones, most of their best games in recent years were remastered ports. This game is just another generic mmo but with chocobos and moogles, SE hasn't done anything so great in a long time that they deserve complete loyalty when the game fails to work. If we're being entitled then so are SE, they think they can just keep taking our money without putting out any products of excellence so we have earned a right to complain I think.
