Anyone Sad about the games Decline

Don't see the point you are making here. 48 hours game time over 2 weeks or 2 days doesn't change a person from being a fat slob. That picture could just as well be you. The point still it you can max level in a short amount of time regardless of how that time is spread.

The game started off good but it just took a nose dive into the boring,easy and dull zone. From what I am reading on forums and when I last played the game it seems FF14 is starting to die. Square might say they have a ton of subs but alot of the player base is just not playing there accounts and waiting for there subs to end. Its bound to happen when you make a game that plays exactly like every other mmo on the market.

WTB a Thumbs down button,

your very wrong, it's not even close to dieing, I been playing none stop and have seen crowds of ppl everywhere. clearly your the only one not logging in, thus not seeing ppl in FFXIV.
now please go away, we don't need your trolling. shooooo

Only if you rush. No matter how you want to see it, there's no way to get a fully DL geared 50 in a week without rushing.

EDIT: Actually, there is. You're either rushing or playing 12 hours a day.

I doubt that with 2.2 new content is coming that is higher than Coil.
Sure, new content is coming. But also Coil get new turns, making Coil still the highest content.

We know updates will come to Coil and CT and extreme primals and possibly still BL(if this isn't higher than coil, their dev team is pretty much retarded) If most of that doesn't come with 2.2, then the game is ever worse off. Releasing new content with the same gear level that already dropped or worse makes no sense and is terrible design...so the new turns dropping 90 gear would be ridiculous.

Max level =/= gearing up. Invalid point.

Max level =/= gearing up. Invalid point.

Have to get to 50 first before getting stuff for your level 50. It's part of the process.

How is it invalid when the post I quoted said:

"Fun fact, it was. Also WoW lasted a lot longer leveling wise and gearing up to even get into MC. Where as FFXIV you could level and gear up in a week and walk into Coil. "

Well, of course you can level and gear up in a week. It all depends how many hours a week we're talking about.

Ultimately the discussion is useless, because if you play 12 hours a week and finish the game and I play 3 hours a day and I still have things to do after a month and a half, then both of us are doing things 'right'. It's just that only those who already ran out of things to do (or still have them but just don't want to) seem to be complaining about it all the time.

Problems that I currently see:
Repeated bug issues with Turn 5
Beautiful Halloween event, but extremely simple/dull compared to XI or even 1.0 events that actually involved using half a brain
Smaller zones means much more competition for farming (particularly diremite web and fleece, despite the addition of a few more camps for each)
Releasing iLvl 90 content (Coil) before iLvl 80 content (Crystal Tower). Sure the latter is 24-man content, but higher likelihood of inferior drops given the lower item level
Releasing way too much content for level 50, meaning they're going to need to add that much more content when they finally raise the level cap
Black mage is even worse than it was towards the end of 1.0
Removal of a working auto-sort system for inventory
Instead of adding to the auto-translate, they've reduced it drastically since 1.0
Addition of an annoying system menu that pops up if you hit escape too much instead of keeping all the menu items in one easy-to-access location

Which can be done within a matter of 48 hours...not really getting the argument being made here. Plenty of guilds on our server all took days off to play and get to 50 and compete to get into coil and clear it the fastest. We are playing the game wrong and are fat slobs? Is that what is trying to be pointed out lol? Most hardcore gamers now a days have full time jobs and school and families, making personal assumptions about people you will never know or meet is just showing your immaturity. No matter how fast anyone gets to max level or gear has nothing to do with the fact the game has no content and can be cleared in less than an hour.

Setting aside the fact that your grammar made my eyes bleed, you also need to pass around some of that good stuff you're smoking, because I want to try some of those fantastic hallucinations as well.

The servers are bursting full, on mine I can't have a day in which I don't find queues. The game at the moment offers the best quality over the rest of the MMORPG market, hands down, and people recognize it. The only ones that will quit are the usual hoppers that grind a new MMO 12 hours a day, seven days a week at launch, run out of stuff to do, and then go play something else. They represent a vastly overwhelmed minority in a MMO population, and they're entirely irrelevant.

The only thing I'm sad about is seeing nonsensical threads like this one and having to wade through excruciating grammar in order to understand what they say. Only to find out that it wasn't worth it.

Yes. If you take days off work to play a MMORPG at launch and grind all the content in a matter of days, and then complain because you have nothing left to do, the problem is on your side, not with the game.

I won't make assumptions on your body mass, but the fact that you're complaining about a situation you created all by yourself is evident.

You also represent an overwhelmed minority of the player base, making your complaints pretty much irrelevant.
