I feel like I've still been beta testing ARR for a year while they try to figure out how to make an economy work and appease their fans with gear. While they've given me a few decent reasons to spend gil lately, the hunt system for gear just makes me laugh.

Basically what SE has said to its players is that if you can't do coil to gear out a job, here's something even a five-year old can do...have fun. I think I've done like 5 hunts for that reason; it's mindless fluff for mindless players. I'm all for giving players a lot of options for gearing out their jobs with various content, but good lord someone should film kindergarteners doing hunts and send it to Yoshida for a FFXIV skill meme.

FFXIV's end game content is based around one weekly lockout raid and then random mindless time/gil sinks for the other option. Not doing that great atm, but I'll save my Yoshi bashing for at least one expansion.

P.S. If you haven't watched this week's Jimquisition about what's wrong with SE, I think it's brilliant...
