yikes did billing start today?

I noticed last night that there was hardly anyone around in town or in zones. On Masamune. (about 11pm central time) Even the area's that are normally packed such as the summoning bell in Uldah only boasted about 15 people compared to the normal. I don't really think this is a bad thing. However I will agree that it is due to a lack of depth. Most people have already obtained a level 50 job, ran several of the end game dungeons (what's available at this point) and obtained the best gear available. Most everything else in this game that I thought would attract more players has been pretty much made useless by the companies approach. Materia? Why bother? Crafting? Why bother? Getting the best gear available? Done and done.

I'll be staying and subscribing but honestly most of the things I did look forward to doing have been ruined by the "you shouldn't have to depend on this to progress" attitude adopted by the devs. Dungeon grinding and obtaining gear is old hat and boring as hell.

You seem mad. Might want to relax a bit there fanboy.

I honestly doubt that this game will survive too long, while it's initially fun the experience needs to be fleshed out for it to make it farther.

The games been out for a few weeks. I have no shortage of content to play through. The only people who are complaining about not having enough to do are the people who rush to 50 and only try farming for end game gear. They are playing this game to only do one thing yet they expect 90% of the game to be designed around them while a majority of players are out there leveling multiple jobs, crafting, and gathering.

they are the same thing, 1.0 characters are still called legacy characters even if the account doesn't have the status. They really should have called the account status something else ... In either case, you knew exactly what I meant.

No, I didn't and no, not really. I don't know why you're getting so defensive about me clarifying what group of players are getting billed now. (You also said legacy players not characters in the original post)

[ViolentDjango]

Id say 90% of legacy players billed today resubbed and paid today. Legacy players got SE's back! Hell I'd pay for this game monthly and not even play it. Its only 7.99 a month for legacy members if ya buy 6 month deal.....

I bought 180 days, myself. All dem perks.

I look forward to less unhappy legacy players lingering around... Hopefully a lot of things stabilize now.

Is it possible that RMT shouting will also reduce greatly??

Doubtful. These sites make enough money to buy new copies and make new accounts.

I'm 50, I didn't rush. Why are people using this excuse? The game has been out for weeks now, I spend barely 10-15% of my time during the week playing and have a 50. I watched every cutscene, hell I read every dialogue box, even side quests.

I even had time to level mining to 40 and Armorer to 44. People are just inefficient with their playtime I guess.

character limit snip....

Also likely the same people who rush to the end of any game's (including wow mind you) expansiont hen cry about how terrible it is compared to the last and not enough to do.

More annoyance SE refers to everything based around those characters and world as legacy, then there is legacy status which is different so everything uses the same name referring to something possibly different. I simply refer to everything 1.0 as legacy I don't see a need to differentiate them, there isn't anything different really.

Thank god. Maybe now I can finally participate in Odin or Behemoth on my server.

You disappoint me. I'll let you figure out which ones did the disappointing and when. But "crybabies" and "jumping ship" and "good riddance"? I may well be a crybaby, but I didn't jump no ship; I was thrown from that deck. I'd still be on there right now, mixing it up with all of you, if SquareEnix didn't unceremoniously boot us from the game and tell us we no longer had a valid account. And whatsmore, on top of that, they won't let many of us update any billing information. If I really honestly can't come back. Ok. Fine. Too much trouble anyway. But you all shouldn't be smuggin it up so much. This kind of service is going to come on you--on all of us. Maybe in some months you'll be mysteriously shut out too. Maybe 30 days, when your trials are up... I guess we'll wait and see.
