What cause players to quit Final Fantasy XIV A Realm Reborn

[Amused]

Class/Job System- is boring, lacks creativity and depth because they built it around casual player skill oversimplifying it instead of building the system around the potential of the class/job.

I'd love a citation that they built it around casual players. Whether it's boring or not is subjective. If they offered more customization people would just go with cookie cutter builds the majority of the time while simultaneously complaining that not every possible build is balanced, despite that being a completely unrealistic expectation.

Combat- oversimplified and lacks depth there are no crowd control abilities, not a lot of support abilities and no skill chains.

How can you claim it lacks depth and is simplified without giving your reasons as to why you believe that? There are plenty of crowd control and support abilities too by the way, so I don't know what your definition of the two could possibly be to lead you to such a conclusion. Skill chains seem to be the combos we have right now since weapon skills and TP function completely different to how they did in XI.

Zodiac Weapons- takes to long for the casual player to get for very little gain. At ilvl 110 it should take a max of 3 weeks for a player to get if they play 2 hrs a day since new Raids and gear come out every 6 mos.

Zodiac weapons are not for casuals. They are obtainable by casuals, but they are not designed for them. If they were designed for casuals there would be no reason to create other weapons.

Raiding- has a lot of one shot mechanic and is unforgiving because if one player screws up he or she can wipe the entire party.

One shot mechanics are fine. Without them, it would be too easy. It's funny how you complain that it's too simple and casual yet in the same post complain about something being too hard.

Weekly Lockout- Players can down T6-T9 on a weekly basis and not get a single loot drop for their class. Players wouldn't mind a weekly lockout if one piece of loot dropped for all classes

While this might sound like a good idea initially, you have to realize that this could result in a net loss of loot for your group. This is due to being unable to loot something that you/person could use for an alternate job if you've already gotten loot. It also means you wouldn't be able too loot something if the bosses dropped gear for the same job back to back.

In general anything worth getting in this game is a long boring grind for very little reward if something is going to be a long grind it will have to be the best item in the game until the next expansion.

Why do you need to be rewarded for everything? You do realize you're playing a game right? Playing the game itself is supposed to be the reward... I just don't get people nowadays.

I'm 99% sure prepaid debit cards are Mastercard, available anywhere within the states or Canada, and are bought almost anywhere. I see no reason why you can't use that.

I probably could but I dont like the extra fees you pay on spending your own money. Its the whole reason I don't have a CC in the first place.

So nothing then. Just another groundless statement about the doom of the game based on nothing else than an anecdotal evidence, which is worthless as a form of data.

I could say the exact same thing about your post, so nothing then just another attempt to shout down an opinion and try make out it was presented as fact. Please just read the thread people have similar opinions again not presented as fact as you are claiming. At the end of the day I think it's always going to be this way people leave new people come along.

Most credit card companies will waive the interest charges if the balance is paid in full each month making the extra fees a big 0.

I have no issues with people having an opinion. I have an issue with statements such as:

Free to play FFXIV is coming.

This "FFXIV is going F2P" mentality died for the most at the end of beta and unless people have access to data that we do not possess, that's where it should stay: dead.

Lol, i know you don't have the whole history of my previous conversations surrounding this so I will try to simplify it for you.

I do not own a credit card in any form. I WILL not own a credit card in any form. I do use paypal (which I could detail all that for you if you like... but we could just leave it at that.) It is accepted almost everywhere online now, its simple, its trusted, Please add it to your crysta payment SE. Until you do, I cannot add more time. Thanks! I love your game and want to keep playing!

I do use paypal

I-I'm so sorry...

Nothing on that list for me.

I believe reason they stop playing is basically this.

Dungeon - 50 level no use for dungeons anymore people use Hunts.
Coil - being kicked or die non stop for a little bit of story line or a piece of gear that will be outdated.

Super fast level progression everyone passes each other up causing a gap
Super easy to get gear new players can get 50 job then gear up level 1 jobs without running things again

Nothing to do cept sycus tower once a week other than that you are basically doing all of this for gear.

gear dungeons
gear coil
gear sycus tower nobody pvps cause of other people blasting others for losing and other reasons and so there basically nothing else to do
but wait for new stuff to come or quit and wait.

also I don't see new jobs doing anything for this game once they come people aren't going to be interested not like they were in FFXI people gonna stick to the job they built up the best unless the new jobs hold some sort of reason to be leveled.
im not talking about ninja or rogue im talking down the road.

I-I'm so sorry...

Don't be, I save a lot of money not owning a CC. I just might be saving another $10 a month pretty soon is all.

I just find the early levels rather boring and with my ADHD it's hard me to keep going when it feels like a chore more than anything else. I hate that about myself, but it's how I am sadly. MMOs are generally fun to me once I'm in the higher levels and the classes aren't mindless or whenever everything is still new to me.

Thankfully after coming back to the game a couple days ago, I had 99 leves saved. c: I need to level BLM (ugh, hating it) for swiftcast and culinarion for steady hand II, and the leves are making it bearable at least.

I'm looking forward to maining a WHM and crafting for $$. c: Crafting at higher levels for HQ looks like a lot of fun and I definitely enjoy healing over DPS and probably over tanking.

@Dwill That is not a factual statement with a source it's an opinion are you serious? This is the butt hurt I was talking about looking for any kind of angle and what's more evident about that statement is I ain't even the first person to say that. It's been said many times and probably will be said many more times to come.
