Right back to FFXI

[lun4tic]

I had hoped this update would be awesome, but it isn't shaping up to be anything like that. I'm disappointed that group-only content was added and the community quickly expresses their latent exclusiveness held over from FFXI. Nobody does anything outside their LS, or invites anybody outside their LS, and nobody has any openly recruiting linkshells, so anybody in a small LS or completely without one is screwed out of content and the ability to continue through the Grand Companies line of quests.

Worst of all, is that I can't even seek. I have to repeatedly shout, which I'm sure annoys everybody.

I can't imagine how this game will ever pull off a grand re-opening with this cold-shoulder culture.

Um, the content is brand new and nobody has done it yet.

You expect people to bother with pick-up groups right off the bat? LSs have been planning for this night for months.

Sorry you aren't outgoing enough to look for a decent LS. SE can't help you there, unfortunately.

things like this are the exact reason people talk about how bad the community is.

No, overly dramatic OPs who threaten to quit at the drop of a hat and leave their drama calling card on the forums every time are exactly why the community is like this.

If all these 'this game isn't my dreams riding on a magical pony so I drama now' posts were threatening to jump I'd probably be greasing the ledge right now.

wow, thanks for making the ff14 community look like condescending brats.

Actually, given that SE designed the game and many of the lackluster systems it uses, they could directly 'help him there.' Besides, if people don't start wanting to play, then the game is going to die. ... Then again, with ToR and BLizzards next MMO on the horizon, it might just be to late anyways. SE might be able to recover their sunk costs, I guess... but I have a hard time seeing this becoming profitable. =(

you can't seek? Have you even looked at the patch notes? [Removed by Moderator according to the FINAL FANTASY XIV FORUM Guidelines.]

Ugh...the same broken record doomsaying I've seen a hundred times before...
