Make FFXIV more like FFXI and less like WoW!

[Skivvy]

It's not? Oh dear. I do apologize. Either my eyes deceive me or the title of this thread is horribly misleading when it says "Make FFXIV more like FXI".





Yes I read the thread. All it had to say was "Make FFXIV more like FXI. Yes, I went there."

Oh you meant the comments of the other people? Again, please forgive me. I probably should've since the OP had no suggestions in their post to give us a discussion. I was pretty sure this was just another, "FFXIV isn't FFXI. Take us back to the glory days" threads.

Responding to a thread while (admittedly) only reading a single comment isn't all that recommended.

Again, the OP had absolutely no suggestions or topic. He just had a title and that was it. He never stated why he felt the way he did, he never stated what part of the game felt like WoW, or needed improvement on. He never stated anything that remotely gave the commenters a reason to discuss anything. So what point is there in reading what others have to say in a discussion that never began with a discussion in the first place? Starting a thread to just let posters take the wheel is not a very good way to convince the devs to do anything. Secondly, I commented to you didn't I? Therefore common sense would suggest that I did read the thread, otherwise how else would I possibly notice your comment? Third, at this point, your statements while further not adding what it is you wish for me to know by reading the thread, cleary suggests to me, #troll bait detected.


Anything else you care to add, mister?

And I am generally discussing my own thoughts and opinions by saying the game is fine. It doesn't need to be more like FFXI or WoW.

You guys miss FFXI, I get that. I really do. You grew up with it; and it was probably your first MMO ever, your childhood, that's fine. But just because FFXIV isn't FFXI, doesn't make it a bad game. Everyone prefers what they grew up with. That's just how the world works. Sadly, the world is growing up through. We're getting new technology, new advancements, new players. Sad to say, FFXIV isn't designed around FFXI players. It's designed around the new gamers of today and the old gamers. A casual social place for the casual social gamer.

It's casual indeed. Social, not so much.

A person can do large majority of this game without ever talking to or making friends with anyone.

I kind of have to agree. They copied the DF aspect, but forgot the social aspect that WoW allows, which is allows people to add friends to your account so you can stay in touch if you meet cool people through instanced content.

Then again, something like that shouldn't be surprising since we can't even communicate via tells in instances even within the instance, I guess due to RMT prevention. There's not even a private message function on the forum. Maybe that's for RMT prevention purposes too.

main reason for posting this, is the talk about level jumping etc. Buy the game and get instaboost to max level. There is many other things as well.

You do realize WoW isn't the only game that does this? In fact they weren't even the 1st. This game is far better than WoW, in almost every aspect. If it wasn't I don't think you'd even be here.

Are you an ex WoW player by chance?

Indeed I am. Like most, I assume.
