be honest, the first 10 posters that attacked the op. are reason for my sarcasm, they have completely ruined this game for me. they do it to anyone who does not hold this game as their holy grail and its sickening. i been accused of being other people because i share the same views.
this community has been split into 2 groups, those who love the game, those who want/ expected 2.0. i personally think every gripe i have had about this game will be fixed at or more likely after 2.0.
my main issue is that why should we pay to fix a game, when we paid for what we figured to be a NEW game. these servers, engines, and UI, the main reason for the rebuild, will not be fixed till 2.0 these all make me not like playing this game.
when i quit ffxi and played other mmos, i found out really quick why these game was considered "better". not because of content, not because it had a better story, not because they had open world pvp or anything like that, just for simple fact they played better. this game plays like a F2P game. the animation locks and server lag hinder my game experience. it kills me when someone will say, 'i don't want this because it will ruin my immersion' but yet they can deal with the clunky laggy, and just plain slow gameplay.
this is pretty obvious, i want to play ffxiv, i know its hard to believe i want to play a game i don't enjoy, it makes no sense to me either. I guess when you buy something you expect to enjoy it, not wait a year later to. so yes venting is my main reason. and until SE tells me IM not allowed to vent on their forums, i wont stop.I'd like to ask what keeps you on board these forums
