Most likely it will be sparse, for about a week. Then when people realize their temper tantrum did not make the devs change their mind, they will subscribe like the rest of us and come back, bitching all the way.

I won't consider paying until after 2.0. So far, it seems like yoshi-p's team is just doing sidegrades. The game is still fairly wretched, it simply sucks in different ways now.

like 2 dungeons were added, but leves were destroyed. materia system is cool, but all my gear is being deleted. Thanks! You hose my jade hora +2 i bought the day before the item announcements and then tell me I get to pay you more REAL money for the pleasure.

I'm sorry but FUCK YOU SE

People play MMO's for different reasons I guess... I gotta say I would be seriously dissapointed if anyone I know quit simply because they had to start paying.

I mean you spend 4 hours a night in an MMO... but you won't pay 12 dollars for it? That is some seriously messed up priorities in my opinion (no way I would spend as much time in FFXIV as I do if I didn't think it was worth such a measly sum, I truly believe no one's time is that worthless).

You don't pay for something that you don't feel it's worth.

So don't. SE is specifically making it so that you have to choose to turn payment on. Don't flip the switch. End of story. Come back when you feel its worth your dollar.

Are you just restating what I just said?

Enjoy your forum holiday.

imo its way too early to charge... cmon, 2.0 is when the game is ready and thats when they should charge ppl...
bad move of SE, ppl start enjoying the game but the many changes are still to be balanced and there is a lot not working.

The fact that a working, faster UI will come in ONE YEAR? are you kidding? the UI and the server issues are BETA.
Trading stuff with other ppl, with retainer etc. TAKES AGES!!!!!

Even though i welcome a lot of the changes, engine, server stuff, ui, redesign... i don't wanna pay for missed out chances SE had developing that game in the first place.

So we pay to get one more battle in december then long time nothing.
So far the old content got more or less meaningless, due to other gear being superior... Are these issues gonna be adressed?

It seems SE is quite confident that what they did in the last patches is mostly working quite well.
There is a lot of tweaking needed. The current content needs to be balanced so its worth doin for a longer time as well.

So we pay for
- one worthless lvl 30 dungeon which is a copy paste of grids dungeon-like maps.
- another runaway lvl 50 instance which isnt worth a lot as well since crafted stuff is way better
- Ifrit battle
- some repetitive open world events like behest, - we follow chocobo - gets old after one day

so basicly its leveling and crafting, grinding materia and hoping for bigger things to come.

I think a lot of changes are good, don't get me wrong but its not enough by far to pay for it

[AkiSajuu]

I have no problem paying some € for this, I mean I spend much more money on crap every day like cigs etc. Plus we get to experience all the content that wont be there anymore from V2.0.
