SE WAKE UP! 90% of the lost subscriber base was expecting FFXI-2!

[Xzen]

reading the constant whines of the fanboys on these forums has risen my temperature! the forums are being overrun by their arrogance and ignorance. instead of embracing tried and true mechanics from the game's predecessor (FFXI) they instead abruptly reject them without giving a logical reason or proposing anything that's better.

fanboys are toxic;

1] you like the game in it's current state so everything is rosie.

2] you don't like the game in it's current state & don't want FFXI-2, basically not knowing what you want.

3] you say that ffxi sucked, despite being a subscriber to it for years.....

4] you defend the blatant copy-pasted world by saying every mmo does it.

5] you defend the boring-as-hell 1-1-1-1-1-3-1-1-4-2 battle system.

6] you defend the economy-killing & bland armory system that does not allow for uniqueness all because you want to play dress up doll with your mancats.

7] you enjoy teleporting everywhere instead of traveling in a dangerous world.

8] you think ffxi party system is "old and tiresome" so you would rather kill 468 squirls, by yourself.

9] you don't want a death penalty or risk vs. reard system because it's more fun racing and exploiting to max level being invincible.

10] you simplify it all by saying the game just needed more content when in fact the far majority quit before they reached level 20, obviously not caring to see any more content.

90% of the subscriber base has long quit for the exact reasons you see in front of your screen whenever you log into the game...these same reasons you are trying to defend. the ones still playing are only doing so because the game is free.

FFXIV was purposely designed to avoid everything that defined FFXI. it is a general statement (and factually correct one) of why it died, hard. demanding a continuation of what killed FFXIV is insanity.

Boo. I played FFXI and liked it but I don't want to play it anymore.

Points 6, 8, and 9 are the only ones I actually disagree with.

I actually agreed with 7/10 of your complaints. However what you are asking is for them to throw the game away and start from scratch. As bad off as the game is there are a couple things about it that are good. The Armory system being the best feature of the game by far.

QFT. If I wanted something that played exactly like XI, I'd play XI. I actually want this game to be different instead of the same game I was playing.

Oh ok. That makes sense. Was gunna say. My character is in Ul'dah and I can see about 100ish people hanging out in my draw distance and I'm not near the most populated part of town.

Its not the same everywhere though. Limsa on Istory is completely dead. No-one at all in the La Noscea camps either. It's strange. I feel like I have the whole server to myself sometimes.

Those that are on don't talk.

probably due to it's adventuring zone being a goddamn boring maze. D: there's a reason we loved Saruta-baruta, it was wide and open and pretty.
