    Those are a bit hyperbolic. You can stop doing something without considering it "trash".

    Does blizzard still claim to have to have over 100 million players? All im saying is SE say they have over 6 million players.

    No, SE says over 5 million have PLAYED. They have never said they have 5 million active players.

    Yeah, he's used to it. I know 2 other instances where he did the same, and I'm sure there are a lot more in other interviews.

    Also, he's imagining there is a fundamental difference between the never-ending grind by XP in others RPG, and the never-ending grind by equipment in FFXIV.

    -
    To summarize the interview : making RPG is hard.
    And he's not wrong, but his solution is to remove everything that make it hard, and it's actually what make them interesting. The result is a forgery with only some appearance of RPG. Plus, the "rpg like" features that remains aren't the most interesting ones (xp, level).

    RL obligations? Other games came out? People not playing the game anymore doesn't mean they only quit out of being sick of the game. As fun as this game is, I do like to play other stuff or do other things. It's how you avoid burn out!

    I just came back to the game, after I quit right before 2.1 patch (leviathan). I qued up mid day as WAR for leviathan. In total I had 1 hour and half ish wait, some guys didnt click then I had to wait even more. There is seriously something wrong when a player who comes back and kinda expect the game doesn't allow people like me to get things done way slower than it should be. I thought MMO was supose to keep the players in the game not run away every 2 months or 1? I'm only saying this from my perspective and the players? Rarely see people, even in Limsa, where it usually have a big crowd. I was told peopel leave every 1-2 month after HW came out and before I came back to the game I read there is a lot of active players? Aren't data centers connected to the server, so the one I'm in are connected to at least 3-4 more servers?

    Then what was the point of bringing it up if there is nothing wrong with it being said? Over 5 million players is an accurate statement they can make.

    Cause let's be real, at the end of the day, it's not really content to spend hours hoping RNG will give you a .01 to your combat skill, it's just a time sink. I'm glad stuff like that isn't put into the game.
