Disappointments and regrets of FFXIV

[Thunderz]

Whats the point of pacing yourself really with every update the previous content becomes irrelevant (Gear Treadmill!) so if this is the Endgame concept they are going with then they should give us substance to keep us interested until the next major update

"In FFXI you did not need to group with everyone"

Stopped reading after that..... You never played FFXI pre 75 level cap then. Anything past level 15 you had to have a party.

My BST from 2005 would like a word with you .. but yeah, with that one exception the game was unsoloable until WoTG or whenever features like FoV were introduced, on the way to 75 Maat was the only solo content.

I actually love and enjoy this game. I play at my own pace as I don't want to get everything done so I will be bored. Every time I log onto the game, I enjoy my time playing it. So no regrets or disappointments from me. Plus this game is more enjoyable than playing my original 1.0 character, but with a new and fresh one.

What competition?? All the MMO's out now suck.... I've tried them.
Only thing moderately decent is Tera.

TERA is garbage I played that game for a year and it had one meaningful update Final Fantasy 14 at its current pace will have 4. In TERA everyone wanted to pay to get there gear and the questing and storyline were generic the boss fights were simple and can be plowed through easily because of simple mechanics. Every boss in TERA used the same mechanic I got the top gear by winging it.

Yeah Leviathan will come next update, so if the want to add more primal fight do them but new ones, like Ramuh and Shiva etc etc. Maybe add more SMN egi avatar skills. Its ridiculous keep making the same fight extreme version....whats next Epic version? >.<

The problem lies in the fact that they keep adding this content for the level 50 cap, and apparently the next level cap raise won't be until the next expansion. So who knows what names they'll come up with as an excuse to bring these mobs back as a challenge for the new cap....Epic? Legendary? Zero?

I understand what you're saying here but I really wonder if you will still be thinking the same way once your PUG/MNK hits 50 and you run into alot of the melee dps walls that people put up in endgame battles. I'm not saying that all fights will be 'no melee dps' but you will encounter quite a few. I for one have no problem with DRG and MNKs in my groups. But from my experience I have come across alot of players (not calling them elitists or anything else derogatory) that will frown in a primal fight at having monks or even dragoons in the group and have left the group just because of that. And if they don't leave right away, the minute a melee dps gets hit or dies by an aoe, they ragequit.

My biggest disappointment is the community...

More specific, Bad Duty Finder players, Rage Quitters, nay sayers, negative people for the sake of being negative, trolls, NOOBs, not new players, but noobs, people who refuse to learn. Forum trolls, and the list goes on. The game can always be fixed.. the community on the other hand... I expected better.

I'm actually in a very good FC with some friends from real life, and they all help one another on the game. I know I will run into those types of people, but it happens. I had issues running Brayflox Longstop with my WAR (my FC friends helped me with the dungeon) due to my game being on a windower at 1280x720 (I'm on a laptop; I don't want to do full screen right now because I don't want my laptop overheating; it's almost on its last legs, so I'm getting a custom built desktop sometime in the near future, which will be a gaming rig) and I could not view the camera angle very well while tanking the first mini-boss, so we kept failing. It wasn't entirely my fault because I was using a windower and a small one, too, so I couldn't see the added monsters coming along with the boss. So yeah lol

I agree with all of the Op except the part about ps3 players. fates instead of exp parties. instance dungeons That can't be entered anytime with any amount of people. mosters with no loot and week long lock outs are all bad ideas. nothing that can kill you nothing to discover, quested exp. easy to get top end game gear etc etc. they tried to hard to be different fromm ffxi and ended up with a boring game that basicly an online multy player game with crap to do in between match making.
bad gramner and spelling i know typing from my phone. probably gonna cancel my sub when it expires on the forth. i don't even enjoy capping mytho tomes or collecting loot any more. FFXI from 2007 with better grahpic and a lil bit of speeding up would have been a perfect game.
