Annoying things about FFXIV

[KaedrianLiang]

D&D was one of the first rpg... And everything you did was based on a dice roll. This makes the game a bit of fun cuz it would be dull if we suceeded everytime. Luck plays a factore in real life also. You will alwts be 99% in everything, meaning for every 100 items you make 1 will always have an error.

If crafting were a dice roll where you just wait for the roll to come up. I would be satisfied, like FFXI's input mats and wait crafting system.

However, here in 14, you have to do the work for that dice to roll. You can make all the optimal decision, only to fail at the end because of the dice roll mechanic. Take this into account for the hundreds of items you need to synth per rank at a late point of your class, and the some 100+ unstable elements you will see per rank that will foil your good fortune, it is very tiring and annoying. It feels like its broken to be honest.

Lack of transportation:
Everyone is waiting for chocobos and airships. One day they will be here, but at the moment its annoying to only have to rely on teleporting and running. If behest starts in 5 minutes, I wouldn't mind riding a chocobo out to the location rather than wasting my Anima. Plus if I teleported out there I would have 5 minutes of standing around waiting for the warden to show up.

Is that really that much of a problem? That if you teleport you have to wait 5 minutes?! If riding a chocobo to get there would take 5 minutes, what if there was 10 minutes before behest started? You're going to get the same problem. Either wait 5 minutes or do something else to fill the time. Its not a long time to wait.

• Snail-paced anima regeneration
• Stopping to sheat/unsheat weapons
• Stopping to cast
• DX9 only in 2010, because...
• SE decided they could create a latest-gen game engine for PC without hiring talented, experienced in the field people and now...
• We have an unoptimized engine that struggles with stuff that has been standard in PC engines for years
• Camera insists on pointing at our asses when target-locked FOR NO PRACTICAL REASON
• Limsa and Gridania city layout look like puke patterns, everywhere is twice as far because of this
• Only one action bar row is visible at one time, something that every f2p MMO gets right
• BR system is crap
• Still can't see your party member's TP, SE idea of cool awesome communication is spam TP report macros, in 2011
• SE still doesn't get that if they can't make crafting fun they should at least make it level much faster. My point: If it's something people rather just bot, it means that:
  a) its design is so simple that it offers no real challenge
  b) they rather not do it, if there were realistic alternatives to getting the rewards
• Game still requires that we keep our eyes on a scrolling chat log. Apparently the minimum required resolution of 1280x720 doesn't give them enough freedom and flexibility to design a proper GUI that relays information to the players in a natural, concise and intuitive way.

You are missing the point. What we don't like is having to pick between walking for 10 minutes or spending anima, which regens way too slow and eventually runs out, which pretty much makes the game unplayable.
