Ok, lets do it, WHAT is wrong with this game?

[Luna-M]

There is nothing seriously wrong with the game. It is just the few people with issues that are screaming in forums and make things looks worse than they are in reality.

It is the same as judging the healthness of a city visiting only its hospital...

Would be nice with something new though, we playing same game we did 5 years ago. They even claimed to call battlesystem a revamp in 4.0. We got a dumbed down system for visual pleasure (was fine before) and less clutter. I'd like something different and a game that keep evolving.

Something simple like a talent tree would do a lot and every character be more unique from each other.

If you don't like it, don't play it or take a break. No reason to do negative criticism imo.

Yes, god forbid your paying customer give you feedback.
No let's follow PerrinTaveren's example and be sheeps and say everything is gucci. Nothing bad everything is perfect. 10/10!

I'd like Tanaka to return.

While he screwed up 1.0 he did do a good job with XI imo. I was dedicated for so many years. It is possible I'm looking through rose tinted glasses and the mindset have changed among MMO players past 15 years.

Talent tree systems, in all games I did played and implementing them, happened to be if you didn't had the "correct"/"meta"/"perfect" tree setup, you are emarginated from other players.

Yep, even in such games where the devs sold it as freedom to pick what you want from multiple pools... ESPECIALLY in those cases. Concept builds could not progress far in the game (outside of leveling, if even that). You always had to follow set structures that took away from that freedom, and turn the game into another slog where you can't even pop a squat in the woods if it's not part of your META rotation during NON-RAIDING hours. I'll pass on skill tree builds of MMOs, thanks.

That is always possible, but how is that different from today where everyone is having same stat and setup?
You saying nothing is wrong, then I assume you're fine they keep same formula for 10 more years? I think that will make the game very stale, boring and predictable.

While I have no indications to quit, I still can identify flaws and hope for something new and fresh with 5.0 and I also like many on this forum (even if Im not a frequent poster) been playing for many years. We are entitled to express our opinion like any paying customer to a service.

New and fresh ideas and suggestions are Always welcome!

Talent tree is just something I see not viable here. On top of that, its brother called "stat points" have also been removed from the game (who remember them? xD) and this is a huge hint about the devs not wanting follow that direction.
