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

[Windfall]

I see myself playing for a year or till the next game i want releases. I just don't see enough content to keep me engaged unless they really bring out content fast. So far i have 4 crafts botany at 50 Miner at 42 and SMN at 46. I'm sure by December all crafts and DoL will be 50 and several battle classes so i don't see this game lasting for me.

I'll agree that the bot/gill seller thing is enough to make someone quit, rarely anyone can compete with companies with groups of employees dedicated to make the most amount of gil that they can, so they can afford to undercut, which causes the normal player (not even casual) to just give up crafting or gathering, and NO ONE can compete when they are using bot programs that can teleport underground between mining nodes, and seeing as though most of them are level 50 than nothing is being done about them, I have a hunch that GM's are involved in these gil selling companies, how else could they promise millions of gil on day 1 on servers that aren't even Legacy?

I'm not bored with the game yet, but I can see it getting to that point in another month or so. I already brought a new character from 1-50 and finished the storyline, been through all the dungeons, and now the only thing left is AK and fighting some hard mode primals (which I really don't want to do). I think once the housing kicks in and FC has more activities to do, then i'll have more fun. Seems right now all I can do is craft and wait.

Not subbing cause square enix pro mog system doesnt let me pay...

[Ryans]

Nah, I don't have a higher leveled character. That being said, after 16 years of playing MMOs, and plenty of people discussing/talking about the end game, it's not even vaguely hard to tell whether or not it's going to be engaging and fun. It's kinda like you personally don't have to slam your wang in a car door to realize it's not going to be a pleasant experience.

The difference is there are lots of people who are enjoying the end game. It isn't a universal dislike, such as slamming your wang in a car door, it is more of a "Do you like mayonnaise on your sandwich?" type of situation. And until you try mayo on that particular sandwich, you can't know if you'll like it.

I subbed for one month. I will continue to sub as long as I enjoy playing. If and when I stop, it will most likely be because of people, not the game.

Same here. I have 6 credit cards and mog station isn't taking any of them. I sent in a support ticket. Like jesus what the hell.

The battle system was one of the main reasons why I didn't renew my sub. I really enjoyed the 1.2x battle system and was quite sad to see it go. I also dislike the overall theme-park feel of 2.0. Finally, grinding for tokens is terrible and is made worse by the fact that everything is strictly tiered. At least in 1.0 the gear system was more horizontal and allowed for some creativity in builds.

That being said, one of the reasons I rejoined 1.0 after they announced jobs was because I was looking for something different from many of the other MMO's I had played. 1.0 from patch 1.18 onwards was different and turned out to be what I had been looking for in a MMO. Yes there were problems, but I really did enjoy what they did with the game. With 2.0 I am left with that feeling of going through the motions I had with other MMO's so I decided to pass.

That being said, I hope everyone who continues to play continues to enjoy themselves.

I agree with all the complaints here, I subbed for 3 mths and now I regretted.
After 3 mths sub end probably I ll cancel the sub UNLESS SE manage to fix the net-code/mob aoe lag issue, added more variety with end game content and makes leveling other class more interesting rather than just grinding FATES.

If I want to support game dev I much rather pay 12 bucks a month to ArenaNet knowing until now they proven to deliver new content every two weeks, plus I will get something out of it in form of GEMs rather than paying SE and hoping things will get fixed and new content added.

My BF and I are subbing. We got to 50 the first time a few weeks ago, ran all the story dungeons up to the rolling credits. Only a few issues:

1) Ps3 version for alot of people is pretty crappy at times, during big FATES (Savra). I'm sure others have seen bosses Vanish, no target. (Happens on BFs ps3, and even occasionally on my new PC which I had built to play this and Blade and Soul). PS4 comes out next year but BF is probably going for a new PC instead.

2) The random fast-forwards Lag. Only happens on this game.

3) Waiting for all pushy psychos to mow down what little content there is at 50, burn out from the 70+ runs a week for tomes, then move on to the next shiny game when they realize now they have nothing else to do but stand around Clone Toll in gear they can't upgrade any further complaining about lack of content.


TL;DR: Despite the flaws of the game (bots, hackers, douchebag players, lag), it is still new and beautiful and hopefully will improve more in time.
