hmmm....

Ive been around for a while. I read your posts. It seems alot of you are not FFXIV fans i guess and I hope this weeds out the complainers and haters. The game has improved emencly since before the launch and the direction that it is going is awesome. I read complain, complain, complain and stuff get done by SE and you still complain it gets old. Do you think because you complain SE will change it? lagetimate in game issues/bugs i agree with but come on.

Its like a war in these forums alot of the time.

The game is in development and change for the better. I would have paid from the start game complete or not.

I will gladly pay when it is time.

I just want to say to the Director and employees man reading some of these posts in the forums must be tough after all the work you put into it, but you doing a great job and I can not wait for the new changes.

the reason we complain is because we have the right to. they give us the option to. and they asked for our opinion.

mindless sheep like u willing to pay for crap in a box is reason this game was launched and still is in this phase. ur more worried bout why u cant die ur gear pink than u are about serious game flaws. the whole comunitee as a whole is blinded by fact they thought ffxi was best and only good mmo out there, hense all the fanboy responses go back to wow or rift.

i think every1 can see its on its way to becoming a good game. but its not a good game atm. i play this game for same reason i played the other 10 mmos i have played. for fun and for the enjoyment of a new game. but as of yesterday i ran out of fun stuff to do.

all i got left is to grind like a mindless sheep till i cap all my chars to 50. ive done this in multiple mmos its not fun anymore.

so most of us would pay to play. what does that tell ya? you won't be missed cya :P

Apparently this needs to be written in bigger words since people love not reading. Sigh... Guess that's public school for ya. Never said I did not like the game, or said I would quit the game entirely. I didn't like the game until it started to work like a game. However, the game itself is still incomplete for it to be paid.

Second, it seems people keep assuming SE is poor. They're not or otherwise they wouldn't be making other games. You think 12 or 14 is not a lot? I pay a lot of subscriptions fees as is: Netflix, the internet speed xbox live, & other bills. Not to mention a costly lap top to play XIV on.

Lastly, I find the votes to be questionable. That's the way I see it compared to these hundreds of posts of people frowning upon the billing services. As one person said, 12-14$ would be better spent on food than playing the subscription fee plus not everyone plays daily. If the game was designed as a casual gamer, than a casual gamer should be paying with a price of a piece of mind.

asking them to realease the game finished is unreasonable tho right?

It's kind of hard to define an MMO as finished. I mean I feel like with 1.20 it'll be where it should have been at launch easily. MMOs as a genre though never really finish, they're constantly adding and changing things.

I think the biggest difference is that some MMO's add and change things like new content and mechanics, while other MMO's add and change things like fundamental game systems that are usually decided in closed testing a year after launch.

Wada's yearly salary is listed on wikipedia, I just can't feel bad or muster up any energy to feed this poor company any money for a half baked game while the top brass are raking in millions of dollars a year profit.

are u kidding 4 mill is chump change give this guy a raise. as u can tell by all the fanboys we are to cheap to pay and SE is to broke to fix the game with out us paying.

Can you link this? Perhaps that'll put most of the trolls to bed.

I will pay if it speeds up the games progression to ver2.0 and beyond. They really need to hire more help because alot of people dont want to wait till 2013. PS3 is getting old and its a good idea to bring out ver2.0 sooner.

Alot of changes there planning are epic.

[polyhedral]

The game is still crashing on me too often to justify a monthly fee from me. I may come back for 2.0, but I won't pay before then. I'll wait and see. Already paid $85 for amazon CE that came a day later than JP/EU, and did not receive my rites of passage, while JP/EU got nice things.

I don't play this game much to justify paying to crash every hour or so. 1.19 isn't worth it still.
