Why I stopped paying for FFXIV

[Gramul]

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.

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

You just made my day.

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:

Latency has to be fixed. I m having same issue as OP. It blasts me even when I am out of red... nonsense.

For everyone having "latency" issues, try watching this vid on how to fix it yourself.

Well, jumping isn't supposed to help you avoid attacks in the first place, and it also makes you move slower in the forward direction. It shouldn't take a genius to see that if you jump you're actually more likely to get hit.

Right. The guy in the video jumps like he's bored, and he doesn't get hit.

Why don't you try another route?

I had already unsubscribed, but I came back after I realised that after a few days I was already missing the wonderful world of Eorzea. So, decided to play the game MY WAY, ignoring the damn HM Primals etc. Accursed Titan may throw you out of a platform, but is that a reason to allow him to throw you out of the game too?

Once you decide that, you realise that there are so many things to do in the game (even simply walking around and looking at those breathtakingly beautiful places!) that the only problem is having enough time.

But of course, if you spend almost all your game time beating your head against the Titan wall or whatever, you are bound to get burned if you are not the kind of masochist player who actually likes that

Gear? You'll get more gear anyway than you need for that kind of gameplay.

Yes, I know it's not how Yoshida-san & C would have you to play the game. They will continue to cater mostly to the 5% minority and ignore glaring problems, as all MMO developers do. But we "casuals" should surprise them and REFUSE to be thrown out of Eorzea. It is OUR world too!

You're just back because you didn't had better choices or alternatives. If TESO and wildstar was out, you was probably giving them a try instead of subscribe again.
Until they are available i agree, so far this game is the most beautiful available. And yes, i agree with your post: if back , pick a new route not giving a crap of what is supposed to be your gameplay (ex primals, coil etc).
Hours will pass, time to sleep, the game gave you some entertainment and some laugh on LS/FC chat.

FREE LOGIN WEEKEND… hmm really there grabbing at straws to boost there slowly falling subs maybe??? i don't see many behemoth mounts running around if it was a winner i would have though there would be more my guess they may even be a FREE LOGIN WEEK by then

Award winning post here...

So your BEST assumption for the free weekend is falling subs? Sorry you don't get ESO beta invites

So lots of us bought 180 day subs, guess what? Still time left on those before our renew time comes up and you need 270 days for behemoth. Which means you are going to see a flood of them soon enough.

[Rona]

WTFast.com fixed mine, since SE can't. Haven't gotten any lag at all since I tried it. Will probably sub after the free month.

[RhaesDaenys]

The hit detection in this game is horrid. Personally I can't wait till they fix it.
