Make FFXIV more like FFXI and less like WoW

[Aki_Ren]

here is the rest of my reply:

FFXI is a game we loved and enjoyed
but why SE changed it using aby?
lol it is coz SE is going after casuals monies. the started to kick the hardcore (The fans of FFXI) to please the casuals.
with what they did they killed the old areas completely, lol, now it is hard for new players to play because old areas are dead. no low lvl parties no one sells or buys low lvl armor.. etc.
if a person doesn't have a high lvl friend he/she would quite and it happened right b4 my eyes more than once.
and as for the 400-300 players at peak time LOL
that's not accurate, i checked a couple of servers including mine 1500-2000 players and at north America part time it is 700-800.
and that's not coz FFXI is old
it is coz the way it is now it is not welcoming new players
and it is hurting its fan base
with each update they hurt their original fan base more and more

when Aby came out, the armor we loved and we had fun getting and using became useless
the armor we were satisfied with for 11 years now is meaningless
and all SE does it throw more flashy armor in the game to keep the players interested but this is not what the players really want.
the SoA expansion was SE promise to FFXI players to bring back the old play style, if u say ppl were sick of that game play why did SE make that promise?

tbh, I don't think this game will live long if they keep doing this
and Like Dannythm, i loved Tanaka san game more than the Yoshi copy past game =)
