I am excited to see what happens when subs kick in.

[Jinko]

I just am having a hard time with people criticizing me for stuff. Tonight i did Hard mode ifrit. I was told to only stun eruption and thats it. So i do just that but once or twice i get resisted and they go crazy on me! I cannot control if i get resisted or not. I mean do these people just love to insult you or is it just the way the community on this game really is? Im almost to a point where its not even fun to play anymore because of that.

They are just bad players, anyone in their right mind will be ready to move on any eruption, just in case the stunners misses or forgets, just ignore those babies.

Im on your server... I'm a super douche and I'm NOT GOING ANYWHERE.... Hello there!

lol well done. /like


many good people will leave and many will stay, every mmo has a mix of good and bad, ff has never been immune to that.

i definately plan on staying for a long time.
A casual player as always, but stay in games for the long haul. i still sub to ff11 for many many years now as well as wow, rift, tera(least played though) etc.

if se continues to try at least to supply content for ALL playstyles they will succeed beyond their expectations.

dont lean too far casual..and definately not too far hardcore style or subs will suffer too much.

that is the mistake of all mmos. lets face it, se wants profit..profit> anything. its always always about money so provide equally rewarding playstyle content and ppl will stay se.
the population will dwindle as expected, ffxiv will survive as every mmo does, to what degree....is 100% up to se

I'm not subbing because of the rude and hateful community and how there is so little to do endgame.

EDIT: The FORUM SUCKS! Surely, the post count should be by reputation rather than character level?



Currently to get the best gear, you need to keep doing runs for tomes (and the same dungeon for that matter). Tomes to buy the gear, then you do the battles and that's it. Of course you can craft for better gear but still. Once again, I hate to do this... But in WoW, you had multiple dungeons to get multiple sets at Level 60, you could also craft items that were better than dungeon loot. There was so much to do endgame that makes FF 14 look pathetic. Yes, PvP is coming soon but from what I've seen on YouTube, it is just sleep sleep sleep sleep. And it looks pretty boring if I'm being honest.

The fact that so many people have got to level 50 and already have the best gear in the game is a thing that SE shouldn't overlook either. This game has only been out a month or so and already there's crazy people.

These crazy people are also acting like people are "entitled" (I really wish people would wiki that word) because they want to watch story cutscenes.

Partly it's SE fault for catering to this type of people.

Wait, you are comparing End Game content to a game that have been out 10+ years to a Game that have just reboot and only a Month in? Of course there will be more Content in Wow. This is why I hate people keep comparing game to wow especially content because it is not a fair comparison with a game that been out a lot longer.

[Rivienne]

I put down for 3 months already, just because I am pretty sure I will need at least that much time, especially given I have ..I think 8, Characters now. Plus while I thought I was getting decent, Titan has dissuaded me from that belief.

[Cairdeas]

This game is lucky in a sense that there isn't really any MMOs coming out soon and Wow is in a twilight stage of its expansion during which people generally don't like to return. Still this game has too many issues that will easily make a good portion of the population bail. Tera, GW2, TSW and Rift all had much smoother launches than this and they still fell apart within months (Well Rift lasted a little longer). People will not take the "It's new" excuse for the lack of content and the existing problems, the MMO market is a very narrow field where no game other than Wow has been able to hold a stable population for years and SE sure as hell isn't looking like they are going to do better.

This is a lie. FFXI held a stable population for almost 10 years.

[saftal1ty]

wont sub. Will sub if server delay issues are fixed for me as EU player:-)
Bought The Secret World, will Play this in the meantime

[Aramyth]

I'm already subbed. I bought the game at its original launch and never bought it again, so I am already on a sub.

As for what this game is lacking, you're all forgetting that this game was made in two years which is HALF the normal development cycle for a AAA MMORPG. I'd say they did pretty damn good with the time that they had.

As for comparing the game to vanilla WoW you pretty much have to in terms of the AMOUNT of content but the QUALITY of the content should be compared to WoW now.

This game has some rough edges but it's a good game at its core. It will never go F2P (FFXI is proof of that) and it'll be around for another 10+ years. Easily.

What you think will people players leaving, are most likely going to be low players leaving because of the end of the world neysayers at 50 saying "GIL IS GONNA DISSAPEAR!!!" "OMG REPAIR PRICES WON"T DO INSTANCES!!1!!" and other nonsense that drove a lot of people to believe them. The whole bored 50's leveling alts by running around doing fates so that solo new players barely can do any of them, let alone enjoy them. The whole bored higher levels wanting to skip cutscenes and curse and berate people for watching them. The whole experienced player base yelling and cursing at new players that don't know the instance and haven't quite figured out tanking yet even though they're on an archer and refuse to wait for threat build up.


Notice a trend here? This game has a toxic community already. It's got to go or it will bring the game down, the game won't die from itself. If the game dies it's because the players playing it poisoned it.

I can tell you for 100% sure that by the 90 day mark we are going to be lucky to have a quarter of the population we have now. SE made a very stupid move by forcing people into dungeons to advance the story and grind gear. I am a low level tank and every time I want to do a dungeon I am forced into a queue. As the game gets more and more top heavy the lower level players are going to be screwed. Not to mention the fact that 90% of the players that I have played with make me want to punch my screen because they suck so bad.

SE made this game way to HARD for casuals and its making my progression take way to long. Because I get forced into groups that keep failing over and over because people have no common sense. I may give this game another month, I am not sure yet. But as it stands right now I am unsubscribed unless I see some sort of change being made.

I can tell you for 100% sure that by the 90 day mark we are going to be lucky to have a quarter of the population we have now.

So you can tell the future? Or are you not 100% sure?
