With airships and chocobos take away teleporting!

Why are you so FOR content just for the sake of content? Lets make you have to do quests for EVERYTHING! Wanna sell a piece of gear? Complete a quest first! Want to buy some? Complete a quest! Want to equip the gear you bought? Complete a quest! Want to walk outside your citystate? QUEST! Go to a new zone? QUEST! Eat food? QUEST! Get a quest? QUEST!

So far you have named more content in 2 minutes then the entire game currently has. btw i think there is already a quest required to leave your city state. You could also make everything else you said into a quest too.. Like want to equipped your epic armor you jsut found? your not epic enough so complete this quest to become epic. you want food? complete this quest and i'll give you food. I wish i could complete a quest to make you go away because you are ridiculous in your constant extreme posting.

There always be players who want to make things easier, no wonder lot of MMOs out there are either too easy or got shutdown because it was too easy. Players with "i wanna finish this as soon as possible" attitude play the game for a short while get bored because they got everything and quit.

Edit: Anyway, this all speculation, who knows what the Devs would do, hopefully they will make a decision to keep both type of gamers and those in the middle happy!

Pot, meet Kettle!

Here is Mort's extreme posting!

I think they should make the game so that you have 1% fail rate on crafting.. so i dont have to waste mass amounts of time leveling up to craft.. and gathering should be fast as hell... i should be able to teleport to the mountain.. so i can just gather in 2 seconds and not waste any time.. oh and fighting mobs.. the game should detect if im super good and just auto kill the mob for me so i don't have to waste my time killing it. Also.. i should just have 999999999999 health and MP so I don't ever have to worry about dieing again. Matter of fact.. i would like a GM to be on instant call any time i cant figure something out on my own.. so he can do it for me.. wouldn't want to waste time figuring things out, traveling, killing mobs and playing a game, that would be pointless. Its almost like your asking me to.. Adventure or something :/ who would do that? I just want to headshot mobs and get my name at the top of a list for having everything done the fastest like people on Call of Duty! FAST ACTION KILLING! BAM! Mountain Dew and SNiping newbz! anything in between is just too much for me!!!!!!!

I can link all the threads you go off in, shall I?

if youd like however id say asking for quests is not nearly as extreme as asking for everything handed to me. would you not agree?

In real life, you bet.

In a game, not at all.

Games are for fun, and if players have fun by using anima right off the bat in a game, who cares?

At this point im wondering what you could possibly have left to do in game that you haven't already done.

More people than you know, obviously. Not everyone who plays the game is on these boards.

The main point is you think teleporting everywhere is fun. OK, that's fine but how long will that last? You didn't work for that ability, you have no sense of achievement for such an insane power! And if you already have such crazyinsaneawesome powers right off the bat, then maybe you're too awesome to bother doing anything else, why bother? You've got everything you asked for handed to you from the start!

While you can argue that it's convenient, my argument back to you is(and I can safely say I'm speaking for the majority here) Why bother playing a game where you don't need to do anything? Where's your sense of adventure? Where's your sense of achievement? You didn't put any effort in at all and thats what MMORPGs are mostly about, making you feel that you've achieved something of the impossible around every corner, making you work up to being the Hero you want to be.

Hell why not start at rank 50 on 1 job? Then when the rank cap goes up, all of the jobs you have at rank 50 jump automatically to the new cap! I'll tell you why, because it makes the game pointless. You aren't doing anything.

Well I am a little late to the party here arent I? :P Anywho. Let me start by saying this is an MMORPG. Yeah that is right guys an MMO. Now if you have ever played an MMO before you know that they are time consuming and for the most part should be challenging. Now I am not saying this game should be like Kirin fights back in 2005 but there should be some challenge here. Now let me say I do love FFXIV. I think it is a game with much potential but SE is simply handing stuff over to us without making us work for it. On topic with the Anima... Personally from my point of view I dislike the whole anima system and would love to see it gone. Now before you flame me on this look at it like this. (I saw something similar to this earlier in the topic sorry forgot who posted it >_>) But in an MMO its all about accomplishments. XI for instance. Getting your sub job items was huge wasnt it? Getting your chocobo pass to get to places faster after that crazy walk through agro zones knowing you will be able to avoid that agro when your done questing your pass. Oh what about that time you got to level 30 and started questing those new jobs? Bringing back memories am I? lol sorry didnt mean to make you emotional haha. But come on guys when you were doing all those quests you all wanted to kill yourselfs because it was taking forever huh? But what about after? It felt damn good didnt it? "Dont have to do that again THANK GOD!" "Woot questing for this job was so worth it I love SAM!" In XIV I dont quite get that feeling I had in XI. Everything is just there... I do feel for you casual gamers because I am one myself. Now I am not saying this game should be for the extreme players only cause hell like I said I am a casual player too. To me they are making XIV too casual and forgetting about what people really enjoy in MMOs. Now before you say go back to XI blah blah blah. Believe me I would if it was how it was 2 years ago before abyssea. But what is killing XI? The fact it is too easy now. Everything is being handed to you on a silver platter. As a soon to be father, living on my own with my fiance and paying the bills I still like to come home and be able to "accomplish things" not log in and warp here do a silly leve iv been doing for a month and get bored. I like to play my 1-3 hours a night get some stuff done and cant wait for the next day or the weekend or whatever to continue my journey. This game is huge. Its beautiful. Not too much happening in the world but that will come eventually (hopefully) But for you people who enjoy it do you really see yourself playing it in a few years with it being as easy as it is now?

WALLOTEXT lol sorry but yeah these are just me feelings. Im not attacking anyone personally or agreeing or disagreeing but come on guys easy games are snore inducing lol. Hopefully we see the challenege in the future =(
