Your thoughts on the direction of this game?

I'm not a very big fan of, get gear for 3 months, then new patch and new gear, and repeat.

I love collecting glamours though and messing around with my friends but if I didn't have all of my in game friends I wouldn't keep playing I guess

You're not alone, like it feels the devs only method to rewarding players is with just more gear. The game is just nearly one year old and it already feels like it has the mudflation that took Warcraft I think 5 years to achieve?

Yeah, things aren't doing so good. Its hard to get a run for Labyrinth of Ancients anymore, so those vanity sets are going to be hard to complete. Also, I've seen them plain out delete threads that try drawing comparisons to the success and failures of other games with statistical data. Someone brought out the chart for WoW subscription numbers and asked a legitimate question of how the overall success and failure of arguably one of the biggest influences on MMORPGs might effect the content in FFXIV. The thread was deleted, which generally makes it look like they are trying to remove any criticism of substance from the boards.

FFXIV Patch 2.1 Press Interviews with Yoshida
Original interview here: http://www.famitsu.com/news/201312/04044251.html

Yoshida: For a lot of players who are just starting with the new FFXIV, they're going to be more interested in the current state of the game than comparisons to the old FFXIV. There's been a trend with a lot of threads comparing the game to old FFXIV, so we're looking at changing up the way the forum is setup so that these new players don't get discouraged.

I feel like we are just wasting our time posting anymore. Countless threads have been posted on many heated topics that the devs simply delete or throw to the junk box. Even though the statement above relates to 1.0 they don't like anything related to any other games as well from what I have been seeing. Sounds like to me new players $$$ older players !!?? pfft...
