XI-2 was released this past September, or didn't you notice?

[weeble]

i'd agree, i must of made the good 90% of my grind or merit groups, it didn't take much to put them together at all. and the second you got there it was very easy to keep the group going all day long if wanted, i could hold a group threw replacements literally 16hrs if wanted. 10-30mins and u was able to be in a full group and going when the game came out, the hardest part was sharing zones and mobs with all the other parties there were. >< major difference in server population ehh?

Its rare that this will ever happen with out 2 or 3 people grouping up. Not to be disrespectful. But that is a stupid debate.

no this happens alot, it was happening even all way at the doblyn era too, 2-3people camping over each other rather then grouping up and going to kill ants. and i also gave examples of this happening in other mmo's where all the leader types or people who are motivated to make groups are missing from the environment.

I edited my post to give a more balanced view, and even if you read that and I was quoted out of context....

Then what the hell are you still doing fighting doblyns?? why not find new spots to solo and party at since 1.18? (and before).
I solo in several spots where no one is around, and inform my ls about them all the time. half the game is empty after all.

i don't solo, i will quit game b4 i ever solo grind in this game. also i'm all 50 on all dow and dom ...all threw 8man leves by the way. if grinding won't be for party play over solo then there are tons of new mmo's comming that didn't flash 15man runs on me then take them away so there is no way i'm paying a penny to se for it.

also what i said doesn't make it not right, my statements are 100% correct, why are u chosing the twist my words or like picking like 3words from a full thread that u think u can argue over and railroad the rest of the post witch was 100%. doblyns were then, but it still happens now like i said and like others have stated, and like i have stated about even other mmo's that have solo players. i saw the edit ..it doesn't change my statements.

This happen 100% of the time i saw some people killing the lxali there all by themself soloing about 2-4 people just there killing top of each other. Same with the beastman in the other 3 city. I don't see anyone partying the only people is partying is JP so i have to wait for what? JP hour to go out and party seeing that he only type of people that party on selbina? beside a few people who /sh for party and be there for hours trying to find members lol and not because there no members just because everyone want to solo and not party.

And it's not like i can get my friend to party with me lol not everyone in the same level range so that out of the question. So i have to pretty much be with my gf and go 2 man things becuase other just don't feel like getting more SP and just solo even if we killing the same type of mobs and taking more % of there mobs they just stay there killing 1-3 mobs every 10min then joining us -.- that just really sad.

If that how people going to be then wow i don't even know how this game going to meet up when people do Endgame and don't even know how to play in party due to the lack of never partying lol.

I'm looking at my DVD case right now and it says XIV, so maybe you didn't notice. The problem wasn't that they didn't make a XI-2, it was that they tried to release the same restrictive gameplay that XI had when it was released in 02. This day and age they can't release the same type of game like XI and besides I rather them not to. I think Yoshi and crew are on the right track, releasing things that similar to previous FFs but not doing the same exact thing and bringing this game into the modern MMO age.

If you weren't already aware, SE is trying to cater to a variety of players, which in itself is a near impossible task.
You cannot please casuals and hard core players in the same game at the same time.

About XI, yeah it was a good game, but my biggest problem is I felt it didn't really reward the player for their effort. Risk vs reward always seem to sway more to the risk side.

back on the solo topic
If there 3-4 people around you doing the same thing at the same level why the hell not party together? this is where the solo people are pissing me off. I understand you don't want to waste your time setting up a party but if there 3-5 people around you doing the same thing at the same level why do you people not want to party with them?

Well maybe I'll be online for 15 mins and I want to kill a couple of enemies without joining a PT then quitting a few mins later or I want to play at my own pace without having to rush around because some people just move enemy to enemy or I don't feel like talking to people today and I just want to relax and do my own thing.

There are lots of similarities to draw between the two. Not that it would achieve much.

I don't see it sorry

Are you saying FFXI-2 Sucks ?
