Worried about where the game is going

[EmeraldHill]

It's so painfully easy to level up as well that I'm almost to where I don't need to participate in the market as I'll be self-sufficient with all crafts to 50. In 1.0 the sheer grind kept you from leveling all of the crafts to 50 and a devoted crafter was just that.

Alongside from that the only market crafters (mostly) have is other crafters. You don't need to buy gear since quests hand them out like candy, nor do you even need good gear since FATEs are the best way to level and if you do do dungeons you're getting gear from that regardless.

You said Open World, XIV community hates Open World.

Key difference from the dev team though. Where BW used buzz words like "soon", SE actually talks to you and tells what's coming when. Compare 2.1 to SWTOR first update.

Wait wait wait wait....

Did you really ignore XIV's development for 2 years? I say 2 years based on your join date being 2011 and you don't seem to think SE use buzz words either - Remember Yoshida's "soon after e3" that was...far from being "soon after" and rather "much later than"? Or how everything is always delayed/pushed back and "We can't tell you"/"Won't spoil the surprise"/"Look forward to it"? BW is more direct than SE is in many regards lol. If you compare 2.1 to SWTOR's first update, you'll realize most of 2.1 is content that was pushed back or being reintroduced from 1.0.

What are you saying? XIV community seems to love FATEs judging by how stuffed Aleport, Quarrymill and such continue to be. [/controversy]
