Why aren't you subbing to Final Fantasy XIV now that the trial period is over?

[Altanas]

The game has become a race. A race to go nowhere. It's not even fun.

While I am legacy and sticking around for my FC, this is the biggest gripe for me. The game 1-50 feels very beta-ish with no real point to anything prior to endgame. That's resulted in the community taking a race to no where fast.

It feels a lot like SWTOR where you have so many zones/planets for 1-50 but once you have hit 50 (well 55 now in SWTOR) theres no reason to go back to them and you just end up repeating the few same dungeons over and over.

And if you guys think thats these problems are ones that only english players are complaining about, have a nice stroll to the japanese forums and let your google translate do the talking.

Something needs to be done about BOTS, NOW.
Something needs to be done about more content, and NO im not talking about more raids, thats just a cheap way of doing content, its a damn skinners box.
Spammers too, this is getting old.
Need more viable ways of getting gil. (sick of farming fleece just to see everyone's doing it too)

Lots of straws are being added to the pile.

Edit: Got another straw to add, apparently they think this is an advertisement front now too, and cant think up any new lore for this original IP. A "lightning" fate? Really? GG advertisement.

I'm subbing but there are a few things I wish they would fix ASAP

1: All gear should by dyeable except artifact armor
2: Dungeons should give more exp than fates
3: There should be more servers in actual NA, EU, JP, etc
4: The game should offer a built in Ventrilo/Mumble/RaidCall/TS client of some sort so people can connect to voice chat on PS3/PS4.
5: Low level non story quests should reset for new classes
6: When on a low level class you should only see low level quest markers, being able to accept a level 45 quest on a level 10 is annoying and confusing.
7: Dailies need to come out ASAP
8: A reliable gil fountain should be made. E.g. in Wow you could make 200gold a day+ just doing all your dailies which would be about 200,000 gil in FFXIV.

If there is a reliable gil fountain in the game that doesn't force players to rely on the AH and peoples starting gold then they're will be less people buying Gil and RMT demand will plumit.

Secondly, things should npc more than 1 gil, seeing stuff on the ah for 1 gil is rediculous. Because nothing npc's for anything there are no farming markets aside from Fleece.... You have this huge open world for us to explore, and once we are 50, there is Zero reason (aside from farming fleece) for us to go anywhere other than Toll..

Oh and world boss fates like Odin/Behemoth.....
These fates are so bad.... Everyone complains that only 50's should be killing them, but there isn't very much incentive for a 50 to kill them. The gear you get from behemoth is worse than AK gear and barely better than AF (normal), and the gear from Odin isn't any better.

The world needs people to collect trash, but if the job pays the lowest amount possible, no one's going to do it.

1: All gear should by dyeable, including artifact armor

Fixed it for you! :>

I subbed 6 months, changed it to 3 then changed it to 1 month.

The reasons are simple. There is really not much to do. I got a crafter and gatherer to 50 and there is simply no point to make another one, I would dare say there is not even a point in having one of these in the first place. Then I got my 2 healers to 50 with full DL and relics. Now what do I do with them between weekly raids ? Well I sit in MD and read the chat... I helped quite a lot of Titan and Garuda groups for fun, but those short fights get boring quick. Maybe I could level something else, even if I don't need it at all or don't enjoy other roles, but then I'd spend hours mindlessly fate grinding...

I mean when I log in and think about what I can do as 50,l I'm pretty restricted. Each week I login to do Coil then I fill my weekly ToMs. Then... I don't know...

The only reason I subbed was because I feel like I need to do the weekly Coil for a chance to get 90 gear while waiting for 2.1 with hopes that it will bring something more to the table.

Fucking 401.

I wont be resubbing because:

1 = Endgame is awful.. Just grind grind and grind.
2 = The community at endgame is awful
3 = Levelling from 1-50 is far to EASY
4 = Lag in instances is terrible causes many people to rage.
5 = Levelling another class after your first 50 consists of mostly fates ( gets boring fast!)

There are more points I could add but I could go on for a long time.. I don't think its worth a resub.. I guess I'm back to searching for "another" MMO

[Ryios]

Endgame being awful, I don't see as a reason to not sub. We knew going into launch that endgame wasn't coming out till november. Therefore any endgame currently in place is a grind on prupose to drag it out as long as possible until 2.2 comes out. People basing their sub on that should have just waited till October to start playing then they'd have a free month into the release of 2.2

[Calevr]

I have subbed but I log in a lot less now and these reasons are because...

- FATEs are tedious and overcrowded
- Long dungeon queues
- Lack of group content in the public world
- Mob farming ineffective
- Very little social interaction outside of Free Companies

I love Final Fantasy but this game is lacking what I am looking for at the moment.

I FATE grind new classes when on my workout bike. I can do about 2 hours of pedaling for cardio, and in that time, I can macro my fate group spam and keep an 8 party team going. I just run in barely paying attention, get my gold medal, and move out.

I refuse to grind AK or CM, because its SO boring. I did AK 4 times, and said no, I'm not doing this another 56 times. Fuck this, give me new content in 2.1. For now I'll just play the non demanding part.
