Your looking at it the wrong way.

I'd like to thank the OP for starting a thread that's not negative. We could a few more of those around these parts.

sigh...Like I said in my very first post (bring on the flaming noob trolls flocking to SE's defense).

Anyone that ever says SE made a bad choice or decision gets flamed. End of Story. Go find someone else to flame for awhile, your foolishness has grown tiresome.

You sir are a liar. I for one never made a negative comment about your negative opinion. I made negative comments about how ilogical it is if you have no actual specifics to speak of. Your not getting flamed for your opinion, yet ironically your crying about it anyway and flaming me for my perspective......so I guess your a hipocrit and a liar.

BTW my question still stands.
I am curious, do you have a job that requires you to wear an eyepatch or clown shoes to work?

Awwww don't stop now it was getting good... though I want to see more of this thing between Coglin and Licont. Its actually amusing to read then going at it like they are hehe...

I wonder how many more interesting posts I will get to read after billing starts... though I will admit there are a few posters I do hope go away.

the cat is bemused =-.-=

We should start an office pool (a forum pool?) guessing who stays and who goes.

[UmJammerSully]

The forums don't represent all players, and are just a fraction of the entire player base. Also, the people who are unhappy are the ones posting the most, not people who are content. You'll never see a thread that's basically "Hay guys, just wanted to say I am adequetly pleased with the direction of the game. That's all!"

That's not to say that criticism on the forums should be entirely ignored or anything, particularly if there are a lot of people making the same complaint.

Never ever?

Its not that the "game sucks", its that it sucks and in 3 major patches and game changes its only made steps to the left and right and hasn't really advanced.

They were in a pretty serious hole, I don't think anyone really understands the depth of improvement that needs to take place for this game to be commercially viable. To turn 20,000 active users into 2mil is going to require more then a 1/2 assed materia system and some "final fantasy" elements.

MMO's succeed or fail based on their core ideals, not the 1 or 2 things they did right or wrong.

I grantee FFXI would have had close to the same sales even if they adjusted attack speed and had a more pc friendly UI.

Its getting a little nauseating seeing people stress about the end game elements and balances when 90% of this game still makes no sense.

Why is getting Grand company seals more of a chore then leveling from 1-50? Same for making materia. Why is 90% of the materia made still worthless?

I don't get why people are still allowing SE these obscene margins of error...

[Treach]

Probably because 70% of the people still playing this beta stage played ffxi and knew how horrible they were at doing ANYTHING, they don't expect much.
