Alienation of Dedicated and Skilled players

[Razard]

He is looking for more horizontal progression.

For example gear sets with set bonuses that puts emphasis on certain skills, enhancing them so you build around them.

No. He wants the developers to make him feel special for pouring "hours into it".

Please tell me how stating my current experience with the game and then stating briefly how to make it more interesting as a whole (would most likely benefit all players) is a way for me trying to cry to the devs to make me feel special. I'm not asking for any personal bonus, I'm asking for a change to the game as a whole in order to add to its longevity. That being said, In response to Furiea I don't play FFXIV much anymore BECAUSE of these issues. I have a life, I go out every weekend, I stay in shape. PvP is a bit of a mess atm still fun though, but a response such as "Get the mounts or something" falls into the category of the superficial status this game is slipping into. Anyway I understand that many people don't WANT to play the game extensively, but that doesn't mean that they should cause the game to become shallow.
