Is 1.18 the final straw?

I really do not understand all the FFXIV hate (or disapproval). I love FFXIV as is. As long as they continue to add content (as all MMORPG's do) Anything else (tweaked combat, chocobos, etc...) is a bonus. I am one of the ones that will be here regardless of what happens in 1.18. The only thing that would stop me from playing FFXIV is if they cancelled the PS3 version.

Curious, of all things why would the cancellation of the PS3 release stop you? I assume you are all ready playing on the PC?

Because I stopped playing PC games years ago as sitting in front of a monitor, hunched over a keyboard is a lot less enjoyable than relaxing on a couch in front of a big HDTV. (Hooking a PC up to the TV is not quite the same thing either) I bought the PC FFXIV to play for a couple months (that has since turned into an undetermined amount of time) until the PS3 version came out (just so I could experience it from the start with everyone else) and have no desire to continue to do so (on the PC) for much longer. I do not think them cancelling the PS3 version is likely to happen though, just saying that it is the only thing that would make me stop playing.

because if you didn't notice it was so bad that the majority of people that got the game originally thought it was so bad they would not even play the game with it being free to play. continue to add content? there hasn't been enough content added in the entire time it has been out to even be a single content patch in most other games. well unless you count doubling the mob and magic animation sizes as content.

it is time and 1.18 will be the deciding factor for most players still playing. i know by listening to most of the members in the 5 shells i am in my server will be a complete ghost town if this patch isn't a huge success. it's hard for me to imagine it much worse than it is at this point. the game does still have some players that love the game, but the majority are sick of not getting the fixes that have been talked about since it was released and are still sitting in the we will look into it after this. if the patch doesn't go well and good information about what they plan to do next isn't released soon after then i fear the outcome.

as long as my friends stay in game i will do the same, but it they leave i have nothing to stay for.
