This game lacks the experience, too casual?

Yes this game is a prettier wow, but thats kind of the point, WoW is ugly as sin and although it is better in pretty much every aspect this is still a new game which they are building upon.

It's unfair to compare it to WoW because WoW has 8 years of content and experience behind it.

True enough it is easy to get bored in this game but nobody is saying you have to stick with the game 365 days a year, if you get bored take a break and come back in the next major patch.

Leveling was somewhat more challenging in the beta, then it got nerfed into the ground because apparently using an antidote that was given a couple of quests before and learning how to properly pull enemies as a melee and not get them all on you was too stressful, twelve forbid people die on a story quest too that's why the Echo buff makes it impossible to die and lets everyone reach glorious endgame in no time.

Lol yeah, ppl were ragequitting during beta because of that.

Well we do have the echo buff older content gets nerf as we go along in future patchs so other players can play why SE needs to do that people can speculate on. I say its a mix batch when it comes to this game I rather they didn't change anything and keep the challenge there not have echo buff and yes I play casually on this game that just my 2 cents.

All MMOs are about endgame.

Ok, thats right all are about endgame but what makes em different is how its splitted up, and some do a better Job in entertaining us on the road to endgame than others! ffxiv isnt doing that so bad but once ure through the main Story

]If a game shouldn't be "all endgame content" then FF14 has WoW beat immediately due to the main scenario questline that you at through while leveling.

it becomes quite boring and therefore lacks durability, some things to Change this could be stuff like Group Events beside the dungeon Routine which could take place in the real world like they did it with ffxi earlier, this would come up with a stronger community and less routined gameplay and they could make crafting more rewarding so People care to actually level it!

What have the level 14 storyquest to do with level up from 1-50?

Compares the two...then says you can't compare the two...

Maybe it is but im just saying that im bored of the game and ist mechanics and no patch is going to Change that next time if they dont implent some things, maybe im alone here but who knows! People still Play ffxi so i cant be that alone after all, ok some might say go Play ffxi and thats what im doing but i want this game to improve and not having to abonden it so i share my experience!

It's in between those level ranges so everything, just pointing out how the difficulty was noticeably lowered from beta to release and not just in that single quest. Other quests, dungeons, leves, open world mobs, they all got nerfed too though arguably mobs were only harder because some didn't quite worked right yet so they just spammed one ability.

I finished the 2.0 main story a month ago and am still finding loads of stuff to do =/ Not bored at all!
Couldn't give a stuff for PvP and am very happy it's not really a thing unless I fancy going after all the gear/achievements. So there's actually more content than I want to do haha x3
People always act like "casual" is a dirty word, when really it isn't. I guess I'm a bit casual (250+ hours in 2 months would say otherwise though xD) and I think the game's pace is just about right. I only hit 50 on my first class literally a day before my free 30 days ran out, which kind of works perfectly for getting people to resubscribe =P

Obviously this is all just opinions, and if you find it too fast then you do. But you could always try taking things slow, there is zero reason to rush through content if you don't want to. I had access to the 2.2 storyline pretty much as soon as it came out but still haven't done more than the first few quests xD

Aheh. People are so unflinchingly literal, its hilarious.
He means that WoW has dated graphics, while FF14 is a newer game and is of course better looking.
WoW looks dated because its old as dirt, but because its old as dirt, it also has a load more content. It isn't fair to compare them because FF14 is a recent game built with new technology while WoW has been sitting around forever and has had plenty of time to make adjustments and amass content.
He compared the two to illustrate a point.
Reading between the lines is hard.
