We went on today for first time and this game seems unplayable to me. It seemed to be fine before this patch.. leveling slow does not bother me.. I fucking played FFXI for 6 years I know what a grind is more then any of you do. Its the fact I can't do the guild leves I get because the monsters that are the same level as me basically insta kill me... and I was told this was because if your 5 levels higher then your gear your gear is basically worthless so since I'm in level 1 stuff still it's giving me no benefits... which means the logical thing to do would be buy 15 stuff since its within the 5 level difference and gives the most lasting optimal benefits. but... No one sells low level stuff... NPC's barely sell anything and the stuff they do sell is insanely priced and basically eats all the gil we have just for 1 piece of equipment.... you can say go craft but that cost money too and I don't see why we should be forced to do something we don't want to do right away... why can't i just play a lancer or any combat class until like 30-40 then craft? Are you saying we have no choice but to grind to level 10 only to find out we can't even do the levees we are given for that level and have to spend all our money and the next day or 2 leveling crafting skills to get gear that we will out grow the next day anyway? Can you please just clarify if your gonna change things soon or are you gonna dick around for another 6 months and wait until you release another patch that fixes 300 things and breaks 600. I might as well go play Dead ass FFXI that's full of hypocritical trolls and has no low level playerbase forcing you to power level your way through the early levels of the game.
