Another potentially awesome game does down the drain..

[Jermz]

This game is fine. I just really wish i hadn't rolled on a legacy server. I joined because a friend practically BEGGED our guild to play with him. Started a Free Company, was in my 40s 2nd week after release and then BAM. My friend tells us "We just don't have enough players doing End-Game, I'm gonna leave yall and join this 'uber' 1.0 guild that can do speedruns 24 hours a day."

Ugh.... We were all so close too, he took a bunch of people with him and left a bunch of newbies alone on a Legacy server....

Jerk....

Anyway, ya, down the drain, whatever... maybe on legacy servers

My FC is on Balmung, and we totally love non-legacy people!

Just sayin'.

So, if I'm understanding correctly, some players really think a game can be developped faster than it can be played ? And they criticize this game for not being that way ?
I'm also pretty sure these gamers complains at every game design made for slowing their progress: Fatigue system ? Utterly frustrating. Random drops ? Totally unnaceptable. Hard fights ? No way, that's not fair !

Frankly, this community would be far greater without these whiny rushers...

If these forums are anything to go by, this game will soon suffer the fate of all other mmos I've played in the last 4 years.

1. People start playing mmo, game does great.
2. People run out of content.
3. Some people start complaining.
4. Half the playerbase starts complaining.
5. People say "Fine then just leave."
6. Game dies/Goes F2P and begs me to come back on facebook.

Why can't we just have an mmo that is designed to last longer than 3 months?

I'm at the point where I'm scared to log in because all my time will be wasted anyway.

Yoshi already stated this game will get the plug pulled before F2P. So your Facebook is safe.

You mean, people don't sub to these MMOs expecting to only play for a few months, and then unsub to wait for the next content if they beat it fast enough? Is that a crazy idea? 'cause that's how I intended to play the game. Play it until I either get bored/have completed all the content relevant to my personal preferences, then unsub. Keep an eye out for content patches, expansions, etc, then resub when the game interests me again.

The way some people talk, it sounds like an MMO, if it has a sub, is something you should be subbed to and play for the entire life of the game until the servers shut down. I don't think even the developers are expecting that of anybody.

Keep in mind only a small portion of the active players post in the forums.

Yep, saw a quote by Blizzard a while back that less than 10% players even visit the forums, much less post. Heck, some devs are wise to the fact that official forums are mostly trolls and negativity and have left forums to be made by fan sites.

I've been playing tons since beta 4, and i've not even got close to being done. Probably won't be there until after 2.1. I tend to decide on a goal for the day or more, and it's never "beat the game".

Might have to get together in game and do some runs together then! always fun to find some allies whats the FC?

While I don't think the devs expect people to sub from launch to Close (some people will), I also don't believe that they want people to rush the content and unsub until new content is released. That cuts out the whole community of MMOs. You let your FC down (If you have one). When I get done with content, I plan on helping friends/FC members who are lower level. I am not saying you are wrong for playing your way though, to each his own.

Something about only have one single true lvl 50 4 man dungeon to run for 3 months until 2.1 shows up makes me wonder....I seen more options in F2P games. I mean does anyone actually enjoy running AK after the 100th time?

There is absolutely nothing else to do for me.

Sure, take a break for 2 months they say: is that worth 15 bucks a month? Maybe to some but not me.

I can list half a dozen MMOs that kept me going for at least a year....FF 14 does not look to be one of those.
