what kept ffxi fresh for players , cant be found here.

[Qfox]

this topic is not for making people angry or telling ffxi was better. We always look for good experience with mmo to make our mmo better,
This topic is about how progression is going through in ffxiv. We always know anyone who just dinged max level in any game mean his game just started. I mean the game where player will go through tough/challenging content seeking for greatness and rewards.

To begin with FFXI – (pre-abyess-crap)
Once the player ding level 75, he/she have wide range of things to do like going to level new job , farm pop item for bosses with team and so on. Still there is not much thing called useless to do because everything you will do its make sense. For example, farming rare/ex item that you will use in future for multi-jobs so it will save some money. this things will take the player to do for really long time , even if there is more things came. this stuffs still valuable to the play to do and step he have to pass through to the next one.

So far in FFXIV,
Once the Player ding level 50, he/she have something to do is like complete main scenario quest, and farm some gears ( apparently the gears he looted in the quest was great for couple of days until he start farming what is the current stones is available. and in 2.2 .. he will jump from ilv50 > 90 WAY to quick.) and a lot of content just going to easier way with more time of tying and wipes ( didnt hold its value for long time).
so player will jump in no time to current end game within not time and if he lucky enough he will find group that can do it with him ( or go the paying way) and after that. he will have no more intention to play because he reached to last gate .. while he waiting for yoshida to open it for next patch.

i wish if they give us more things to do .. while not changing a lot about them and let them have the same value for the players

Sir, you apparently are suffering from something we call Stockholm Syndrome, where someone kept captive start sympathizing with their captor. You should seek psychiatric help immediately, for the abuse that FFXI has heaped upon you is far more damaging than you imagine. Also, your grammar and spelling techniques are rather lacking, and thus it would probably be beneficial for you to also seek assistance in this area as well.

All in all, while FFXI was good for its time, its time is in the past. As we step towards a bolder, better future, we will need to shed the shackles of limitations that the past has imposed on us, and stride to the beautiful horizon that is FFXIV.

Indeed. I couldn't have summed that up better myself Jwang . And it's also unfair to compare FFXI, a game that even in it's US release had over a year's worth of additional content and alterations included with it, plus an expansion pack, with ARR, a game that has only been out for six months, and which had a ton of players already at level 50 at the start (Legacy players), who rushed through content within days to the end and thus burned out accordingly. Some people just need to learn the meaning of the word 'patience'.

oh thanks for the advice , i know my English writing skills is not that good because its my 2nd language, but its serve the case.

that is my point , where FFXIV dont show that after 1 year people will still doing old content , they will do the high jump in ilvl and go to last thing in the game because this what its seems like the way they progressing this game.

[BotenAnna]

Well, I can't argue with this logic

Mostly because I have no idea what you're trying to say

[jwang]

Please explain why we should be forced to do old content, outside of "Because it's fun"? Because let me tell you, after the 3rd month farming sky god pop items, I hated that chore. That's right, farming pop items in sky was a CHORE. CHORES are not FUN, and thus should be thoroughly eliminated when discovered. People play this GAME for FUN.

Past content, while a novelty, shouldn't be mandatory. However, if you worry that people are blowing past content, don't worry. Even if you're iLvl120, a Landslide from Titan will put a kibosh in your dreams of raiding coil just as quickly as if you are ilvl55. If you can't pass Titan, you can't access coils 1-5, and if you can't do coils 1-5, you can't do coils 6-9, so on and so forth. Raiding requires COMPETENCE, and those without will either have to pony up cash to buy past Titan (and later, Twintania), or forever gnash their teeth futilely at the wall that is Titan.

guys the game just came 7 months ago give it sometime to breath

It came out four years ago and has about the same amount of content now as it did then. Unless you count each FATE separately I guess.
