there would be a move to raids and rare/ex gear
as such crafting + gathering would be diminished

At the time crafting and gathering were supposed to still be main jobs. my predictions came true, they are now side jobs, and we now have most of our "best" gear as rare/ex.

Almost everything i negatively posted about has come true or is still true... So i think most of my "criticism" threads were justified.

Does that mean the game is bad? no. It just means its significantly strayed from its original intentions. I would now argue FFXIV has -nothing- overly unique to it other than pretty graphics. That -IS- a problem, since this year it will have to compete with tera, Diablo III, and starwars. So far tera and starwars -BETAS- seem to have gotten significantly better reviews than this game would manage to pull off.. Thats a bit scary.
Tera was postponed to 2012
