not sure how anyone can argue with wanting more sense of adventure and danger in places outside of timed instances. The whole "i dont have time" argument is stupid. its saying "hey dont make the world interesting for anyone because i personally don't have time to look at it". if you want to stand at a crystal and shout, then continue doing so. but at least let mor dhona feel like a scary place again. if you dont have time to play a game with substance, then you shouldn't play it. does that argument work for anything else? make food cook faster because i dont have time to cook.. make the NFL easier to get into because i dont have time to practice.

edit: Ironically the kayak commercial came on with the brain surgeon controlling his patient to book a flight because he doesn't have time to do it.

the problem is, this game has been remade for people who don't really have time to play games, casuals.

This is not a problem, in my opinion. Not having to put in hours and hours of continuous gameplay to progress you character is a good thing.

This. I played FFXI when I was in college and had hours of free time. These days I have 2, maybe 3 hours a day. I don't want to waste time traveling. I don't want to waste time LFG. I want to DO stuff, and if FFXIV's mechanics can help, it's a great game. There are thousands of Korean grindfests out there, go play those.

And running AK/WP 300 times is different how? (comparable to your lol XI comment) Also, there is nothing "Relic" about these Relics. They are average weapons that anyone can easily get.
Companies have taken away inter-dependency checks and replaced them with nothing. With nothing, there IS nothing to keep anyone playing your game.

The less time spent relying on other idiots, the better. Yes I realize this is an MMO, but having to form a party just to get a piece of AF like FFXI back in the old days is fairly ridiculous.

I don't agree, I had more fun hunting AF, rather than getting it free like a candy bag at a birthday party.

that would be fine, except those same people complain that there is nothing to do, but when someone suggests adding something to the game that takes time, they want no parts of it because they dont have time!! just send the highest level gear to their moogle delivery person so they dont have to do anything, let them quit and then the real game can start.

Making the game for people with a couple hours a week to play is the cause of the biggest complaints in the game, mostly from the same people who want it this way.
There isnt anything to do, things take time, people dont want that.
Why do myths have caps? because its for people who play for 2 hours, people who play for 6 hours will finish everything in a week and quit, this artificial walls.
make the world bigger, with more things to do and see... nope, no one wants to spend time.
This game could literally remove the open world aspect, make it a lobby/game system like phantasy star online and absolutely nothing would change.

oh wait, we have a dungeon finder board coming.. sounds like we are headed in that direction

Let me sum this up.

Angry fans log in and are upset by lack of content. They play anyway.
Angry fans are logged out, log in forums to complain about lack of content/game is dying/game lost magic/Omg just post in one thread instead of creating your own to feel special and force others to engage you directly.
Angry fans proceed to log back in and play the game anyway.

Here's a solution, don't.
