CT loot lockout and the direction of this game will probably cause our FC to quit

[darkstarpoet1]

I don't think anyone wants to go back to running what AV and CC 10 hours a day everyday for those 1% drop rates on darklight gear. Did people actually like doing this in 1.0?

yes, i would much prefer that honestly. at least doing that i had something to do everyday instead on only running something once.

coil is a pretty fun dungeon and it makes the game worth playing.... on mondays. after that the rest of the week is pretty much blah.

I totally feel you. But my question is, if you aren't satisfied with how it's being put into place currently.. why not quit just until they start doing it the way you like? Or until it's put in a way where you'll at least get 2-3 days of stuff to do? The biggest way to make a statement is with your wallet. But if you still do get enough enjoyment out of the game how it's currently presented, then at least that's something. If I was at your level of frustration I'd for sure temporarily quit (although missing out on the continuous subscription goodies is bound to suck).

That's the plan, but we're true fans of FF and this game so we would like to fight for it before giving up on it. If they continue this route, and just like the title of this topic says, we'll be forced to quit due to the direction of the game is going. We're a small group of people who likes to be competitive. Lockouts kills competition and does not allow for people to put more time into their characters to get stronger. Without competition, there is no motivation. Without motivation, there is no reason to continue.

And I feel for you, too. But everyone at end game (me included) are the minority. Would I love for coil to have better lock out restrictions? Heck yeah, since as it is I'm 1-24 on loot drops. But since so few of the general population has even sniffed Twintania, we're sadly the minority. I hate only being able to possibly get one piece of gear a week (or as you see my drops, far less) with Coil, but it's not at a point where I'm going to quit. And that's simply because 80% of the people playing (a guesstimation) aren't even in coil, let alone spanking it like your FC. They're just catering to the majority and not letting us wreck the content before the rest are done with it. Plus, the whole 'make content last as long as possible' stuff.

I don't agree with it 100% (I actually don't mind the CT loot lock out since we can still run it with friends), but I feel to continue playing is better than the alternative.

Casuals are just where the money is at.

mine isn't that. i don't just temp drop a game. i know me to well that i know once i put a game down and move to something else i do not go back. i'm been playing mmo's since eq and at no point in time have i ever temp left a game and returned. i have 3 years invested in my character already and like the general feel of the game itself much more than anything out currently. that's not to say there's not things i absolutely hate that's in game, but that as of right it is the best out. i feel it does more good to point out the things that aren't liked at this point in the game as opposed to waiting until later once they feel people actually liked it since they never said anything.

Wait, I'm confused.

I thought CT was regressive content and end-gamers weren't interested in it anyway?

only for gearing up secondary jobs and classes they enjoy to play.

If your FC is quitting this early into the release of the game at the first major content patch, your FC wasn't very committed to being a FFXIV group anyway.

Did I say otherwise? If you've got nothing else but Coil to do and you feel bored, then... Yes, deary, get a life. It'll fill that void of boredom inside you.
