FFXIV: The 1 Job at 50 Monday night raiding 8 man FC game.

Which is why you got a MAJOR headstart from everyone else. I started over, because I knew this was going to be a new game. ( Not to claim to have something to do or whatever that some people think). and new games generally don't hold alot of Endgame.

I don't like lockouts, but I understand why they are there. Once the game has a hefty amounts of content, this Lockouts should be eased or removed altogether.

Loot system should work for everyone regardless of how much anyone plays.

That's what you get for rushing to 50, the game's only been out for 3 ye- I MEAN 4 months! xDDDD

I like how people say some of us, mostly legacy players rushed the game. This isn't a new game for us... and no it hasn't been out 3-4 months.. it's years for us. Try again. New game for you, just a patch for us.

I don't think lockouts will be removed the way that they want to set up the gear progression (iLVL and stuff). I mean probably there will be a lesser lockout on turns 1-5 but 6 and on will have the same lockout.

Thus people will alway complain because they won't be able to get the best gear in a short period of time for each class they have at 50.

The current loot system DOES work for everyone regardless of how much they play now. That's the point of it. Whether you spend 2 hours in game a week or 50 hours, you have about the same chances as anyone else in the game. Period. Changing lockouts would not alleviate that, they would simply give the all day hardcore games more reason to stay logged in to get that 1 piece of gear they are missing.

What I can't wrap my mind around is why someone would continue to pay 15 dollars a month to log in once a week for 2 hours. I can only assume these people bought 90, 180 day subs and are stuck.

Indeed, and it stinks. Thankfully, I found an extremely active FC and am now leveling alts to do more raids with. I am taking steps to correct my slump, but I essentially wasted my time in the foreseeable future leveling all battle classes to 50.

I'm "stuck" in a 180 day sub and I honestly don't know if I'll renew in April -- though I'm not terribly down on the game at the moment.

It doesn't matter, without lockouts, people would just spam until they got what they wanted and still burn through the content just as fast.

If there were no lockouts, content wouldn't be burned thru just as fast. It would extend the content for people who want to play more than a single night Coils.

We already complain now, so people that say "we'll complain anyway" - that isn't a suitable argument. I'm excited to do the extreme primals and Crystal Tower (I guess..) but I can see both and Coils being finished in a few hours after it's "farmed".

I white knighted the **** out of this game before it came out. I'm just let down feeling like I have a wonderful game, with WoW raiding structure that the class system isn't suited for, and it's annoying, sickening. I quit WoW for a reason.

If by working you mean alienating any FC with more than 8 people, and the inability to gear more than 2 roles in a game that allows you to level 9.

Then yeah, it's working.

[Sub-Xero]

I didn't rush. I played 1.0.

You rushed in 1.0. Not that it has anything to do with anything you're saying or doing here though. I do agree with what you've said however.

I can understand those people that want the best of the best. Once the best of the best is obtain, is there really nothing you can do in the game that you haven't gotten yet just for kicks? I know 2.2 is coming with Vanity, so why not start getting gear for how you want your character to look like? Housing in 2.1, why don't you try to get Primal Housing stuff? Extreme Modes in 2.1 for primals drop Accessories and get a free ilvl90 weapon a week. Treasure hunting in 2.1, I got my Miner to 50 so I can farm Grade 5 Maps for money and for my FC. Gearing up my alt(s) via Crystal Tower ( yes I know there's a loot lockout, but I can help my friends get what they need as well! There is quite a number of reason as I personally will keeping logging into FFXIV ARR.

Edit: Currently I am getting GLA to 50 (20 atm).

That's what you get when you copy the WoW formular and forget the XIV part with the multiple jobs/character.

They can do a better job with the system.
