Let's have a round of applause for bringing grind parties front and center in FFXIV

[Chain]

It's like I said before, they'll go along and add the much anticipated search tool and a big green LFP icon over peoples heads. Then the real eye opener will come when people start trying to pt and the glaring issues start to show, like the terrible delay on abilities and the extremely poor mob behavior I mentioned above. The game is more than lacking, its completely broken at its foundation.

No sneak/invis powders or spells just scream aggravation for random groups getting to camp.

I mean COME ON, its been almost a year and we have auto attack and 2 dungeons. How long is everyone willing to keep saying "next patch".

I don't like to pull the WoW card but really, does SE have a group of 5 men sitting in a small room spamming code? Cata was released little less than a year ago and blizzard is already preparing to announce their next expansion, and here we are a year later with SE saying please wait a bit longer for a decent loot distribution tool.

I love Final Fantasy and I've always loved SE but I'm at the point where I almost feel bad for them with this game. They have to realize they are so so far behind the curve, yet apparently can't do anything about it. It's like watching a sports team lose 10 games in a row but still go out fighting each day only to get stomped on.

In turn I offer them my condolences and a friendly hug. I hope the next mmo they are talking about is approached from a different angle, looking at modern game engines and scrapping the love affair with console based UIs.
