Longer does NOT equal hard. that is a fact. and the only fact in this whole debate.

To be blunt...why doesn't longer=harder? Technically it's requiring your focus for a longer period of time, if you really want to argue silly semantics like that.

Your snipit about "Some players want to rush content" you are aware this is a terrible thing right? This is what gets people to play a patch for a week and then shut the game down until the next patch. Do you really want to live the game on a patch by patch basis?

stop saying things i never said. i never said i want a patch to be done in a week i said faster travel does NOT equal harder.

If the people want to rush content and thats what THEY want to do then they will do it in ff14 or leave and do it in another game. My point is if SE wants a large fanbase you can not ONLY make a game with time sinks (ff11 Pre Asea) but you need a game that caters to BOTH the harcore and the casuals. (WoW. and thats why they are number 1 by over 10 million subs and ff11 strugges to keep 500k subs)

So in closing if adding an option (You getting angry about an option for holy's sake) to skip an airship ride pleases the masses then so be it.

How can you assume the "Masses" want this? We can't speak for the rest of the players in the game and it's pretty much a 50/50 split between our two sides of the fence.

I never "Put words in your mouth" I asked you a legitimate question, if content is at the fingertips of everyone adding more content wont do much to add longevity to the game if it's completed in less than a week. I never said you wanted patches on a weekly basis.

I'm just pointing out the flaws in the direction that this type of pandering can lead too.

I'm not angry about the situation at all (I'm not sure why you think I am) I actually relish being able debate about this too see both sides of the fence. While I may be on one side of it doesn't mean I'm angry that another person doesn't agree with me. Only a child would get upset at someone who doesn't agree with them.

Too a further extent, FFXIV is not WoW and will never have the same player base as WoW. They could have released the game and called it WoW 2.0 and still wouldn't have the same player base as WoW. Blizzard is allready developing a new MMO to capture their audience because the crux of their system is that WoW can't hold players for much longer (3 more years tops before it starts to spiral) Hell it's allready loosing subscribers overall and their newest expansion has seen the least sales of the series so far.

FFXIV is not FFXI, while that may be I'm allowed to ask for a similar feel if thats what I want from the game, I don't speak for everyone else I speak for myself. I think you need to stop trying to speak for the general populace by stating it's what "The masses" want. You have as much idea of what they want as I do.

Start posting for yourself and not the community, all of my ideas and threads are thing I think would make the game better not what I think the community wants. Only a naive fool would try and make himself out to represent the games population. I can't speak for the silent players of the game, they have every right to speak up if they want too just as much as I do.
