Should have made FFXI-2 instead of this game IMO

[Reslin]

My impression of FFXIV is that it took things to an extreme. "I want everything NOW." kind of mentality.

Without artificial caps on things people will always have end game items within a month. Realize, that unlike years ago most players are veteran mmo players now. If they re-released vanilla EQ? I promise you if I wanted to I could be raiding within a month or so. Note that I am pretty geared on my scholar but I also play 4-8 hours a day. This is considered "Casual." by many. I know people who put in 16 hours a day. No grind in the world unless it's ultra extreme is going to block them out of devouring the content.
