Why I stopped paying for FFXIV

[Alhanelem]

I made the post to tell SE and others about why I'm leaving and the issues I've had and wasn't impressed with.

You're not telling anybody anything they haven't already heard before, which is the primary reason I object to I quit threads in the first place. You're not doing anyone a service, even if you think you are.

The "fault" seem to be pretty changeable.

This was covered way back. There are many different causes of lag. The vast majority of them exist somewhere on the line between you and the servers. Not the servers themselves. The main server cause of latency-like issues was addressed for most things that matter in 2.1 and will be done for the rest of the game as soon as they're sure it won't strain the servers too much.

You make this silly post to discredit people defending the game but it's not working because you provide no valid explanations of your own, you're simply abusing logical fallacies to create what sounds like an argument where none exists.

- Oh wait... Don't we already have cheaters and hackers? Wonder what's next...

The means you have to cheat and hack are much lower than in a game that puts the client in charge of everything. The only thing you can do (easily, at least) most of the time is use scripts or bots to automate repetitive actions. If the client has full control you can use actual trainers and hacks to dupe items, modify your stats, kill stuff instantly, be invulnerable, and all kinds of stuff to trivialize any aspect of the game. Let me ask you, do you want stuff like that to be easily accomplished?

(That's not to say that the game never had any security issues, but the ones we know about have since been fixed)

You're not telling anybody anything they haven't already heard before-

But the more people bring up an issue, the more likely a company is to realize it's important to them.

Just because these threads annoy you personally doesn't mean they're useless.

Poor OP. The guy just wanted to express how he felt. There's no rule against that.

So what if other people have been complaining about the same thing? The redundancy might do some good. Like Gramul said:

You just made my day.
