I love this game and all the content it offers.

I've played a lot of mmo's, maybe this game is ok and I'm just sick of the genre entirely.

However, when I look at upcoming MMO's like EQ NExt, and Wildstar I can't help but get excited.

I think I'm just sick of the cookie cutter dungeon/gear grinders.

I'm really enjoying the game

But for the people on here that are advocating complaining, there's constructive criticism expressing concern about what you would like to see improved and then there's whining and complaining for the sake of arguing. You should make sure you're actually doing something that's going to make a positive impact on people that are reading it and not just trying to get attention or arguing for the sake of arguing and disguising it as 'devil's advocate'.

Mihael as far as I'm concerned 95% of your posts mention how amazing Dark Souls is and how amazing Dark Souls 2 is going to be. We get it. You like the game. I don't care about Dark Souls.

[Hitome]

Then you have no business to post, or really even be here honestly.

How utterly rude of you.

To be honest, your posts in this thread seem to be more negative than Mihael's. If you seek to follow something so blindly that you can't see or accept faults in those that you follow, you have no business posting here.

Mihael's points are quite valid and very well written. She/he doesn't use extremism and negativity to convey her ideas (unlike you).

It's really pathetic when someone likes something a lot and someone else degrades you for liking it.

It's even more sad when someone derides you for expressing your opinion on a forum.

I just think it all comes down to that the average person loves complaining these days, and would realistically never be pleased by anything. Some people should just learn to keep their thoughts to themselves.

It's especially funny to read things like this. Take a lesson from your own words, Mr. Onlymyopinionmatters.

Opinions are awesome because everyone gets to have one. There is no rule on this forum that says you cannot post anything negative in a fluffy "I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS GAME" thread. The title alone is more likely to be from a troll, trying to see who they would catch in their net. But hey, to each their own.

BTW, Skivvy is absolutely correct: there is no rule on the forums that prohibits you from posting your opinions.

There are, however, several rules on the forum put in place to prevent blatant harassment of another, derision, and bypassing the profanity filter.

I guess this thread just proves how one person can ruin anything rather it be for good or bad. I just wanted to try and be positive. I for one really like the game. It's my 3rd MMO. I played WoW, and GW2.
So far this one has delivered on all its promises(Which I'm really happy for)

I personally don't want a game with so much content that it's a struggle to complete before the next patch. This is what WoW felt like. I'd rather go through a game at a casual pace with my friend. Yet most would rather just spam and clear it all in a week.

My friend and I actually space out content so we can play the game daily, and we don't do it all at once. Maybe some of you need to do that, and mix in other forms of entertainment with FF14 Anything will seem bad and boring if it's literally all you do. I mean call me a casual if you want(I mean the offensive part of the word) I used to raid in WoW 5 hours a night 5 days a week in pretty top notch guilds.

Cont in next post.

[Kamahil]

Raiding progression honestly got to me, so I quit raiding in WoW.

In FF14 I just love the social aspect of my server and enjoy just sitting and talking at times with people. I guess I just play for a different reason than most. While it may not be the best to some people, it's just right for me. Which is why I made this thread in the beginning. I was hoping to find people that shared the same thoughts as I did with the game. I mean I really do feel good about where they are going, I hope this game continues to grow positively.

I'm sorry to everyone that got upset, or offended by this thread. I was just trying to spark some happiness on the forums. I myself being a severely depressed individual in life hate all the negativity in the world, and I guess just want something to hold on to so I can be somewhat happy and enjoy something. Right now that's this game. I didn't want to start a forum fight. I respect everyone's opinions. So I'm sorry

[Kamahil]

I'm sorry this got so negative, and I have become a sad Miqo'te ._.

[juniglee]

Personally, it's becoming a struggle for me to complete the content these days too.

I'm still trying to level my Warrior (currently 47 - gained a grand total of 4 levels this whole week), I've still got to do today's beastmen dailies, and I've still got to get my weekly CT loot (aiming for that healer's headpiece). What I have managed to do this week however, is clear T1 - T5, cleared my weekly share of primals for a primal weapon, and spent a whole day furnishing my new FC house.

I have skipped a good number of days for beastmen dailies - we're at least 2 months (about 50 days at least) past 2.1, and I still have not reached Friendly status with any of them. I have not gotten a full CT set for any of my alt classes. I have only managed to clear T5 for the first time last week. I have only been regularly clearing EX primals weekly for the last 3 weeks. So yeah. I'm feeling a bit pressured by trying to finish all these stuff.

That said, I do love this game, but what really keeps me going is having friends, a great FC, and a great community all around. That to me, is more important than the content. I'd be able to slog through any content, as long as I have my friends with me.

EDIT: If you're a sad Miqo'te now, use a Fantasia, and become a happy Lalafell. The world needs more Lalafells

[Kyoskai]

You made at least one person happy, so hold your chest high good sir.

[Zaels]

The title alone is more likely to be from a troll, trying to see who they would catch in their net. But hey, to each their own.

I sure hope you're joking. People seriously feel baited and offended enough by a topic stating they like the game? That's also pathetic.

[Hitome]

Look: I understand. I have probably defended this game on several other forums in an overzealous manner on more than one occasion.

You mention having friends and FC members that you enjoy having around, right? Well, tonight I just had to say goodbye to another friend because nothing was keeping him interested. Do you know how many people I've had to say that word to over the past 2 months? It really saddens me: people I have played with since launch just leaving like that.

Then there is my FC where we are more together but still see people just drop off the face of the earth just about biweekly now.

How am I supposed to feel happy about this? What is causing these people to leave? Are they alone in thinking the way they do? I don't think so after reading this thread and several others.

Like you, I like almost everything about this game. I will still continue to subscribe as long as I can find enjoyment in it. My enjoyment is usually found in DF. I like to do crazy things that most people will never do like DF Titan Ex 40 times in one weekend just for the fun of it (I need nothing from it) or camp the PF just to see when people need help with relic stuff or even farming Ultima. I believe the community is what makes a MMO fun and this will always be the case.

But please don't act like those saying they don't find what you find fun (or what I find fun) are wrong for saying this.

If you are to look at the game right now at the end, there is not a whole lot to do honestly. Many of us have taken to leveling alts as a result. Since the changes to leveling, I can't level classes anymore in an enjoyable way. Previously, we were able to actually get to know players from our server because we were forced to group with them when leveling in FATEs. Now I get put in with a bunch of strangers in a dungeon where no words are said. This isn't indicative of a community to me and has sapped my fun away.

So ok: that's just one facet that I enjoyed. There are others...like crafting. Except, crafting is an exercise in masochism at the moment. I don't know if you've been to a MB lately, but things aren't looking too good. There seems to be zero incentive to craft anything but food right now. Creating a bunch of classes and then making them obsolete isn't really good game design.

It's all these little things that add up in the end. I can understand why people have to say their farewells to me now. If you love this game as much as I do, you will be able to still receive enjoyment from it but you also must be objective in analyzing the game.
