Why are you still playing?

Because Yoshi-P and the Dev team are working very hard, putting countless hours of work into this game. The loyalty and dedication they have shown is admirable. I respect their work ethic, and their hard work is starting to pay off, the game indeed IS getting better.

Also, believe it or not I enjoy the game.

I also have an amazing Link Shell.

So do i...right now i rarely can even go past play screen...i log in...stare that play screen a while and just close the launcher. I really lost all the will of playing after 1.20.

Right now i just check the forums in a hope of a miracle...after all it's a good time of year for one to happen! =P

Sucks...all i wanted was the game i bought. Maybe we can have some good news regarding it after all next year...FFXI endgame rework might be finishing around march so we might have Tanaka free to resume the original FFXIV as a spin-off by then...

OMG! i thought i was on a big boat by myself... I can't play for not even 15 mins.

I enjoy the game, and have, and enjoy seeing it evolve into what it should be. It's come a long way, players who can't see how far it's come since it launched, have a short memory.

That being said, I enjoy playing with my friends, and my family. I enjoy questing, the story, the world, and all the updates, I'm very excited for 2.0 and am enjoying the different things leading up to the worlds destruction.

I play for the cut scenes, the graphics, the game play (love the new class changes in 1.20 really makes battles fun).

I play for the boss fights, the the link shell fights, the drama on the forums and in the game. The friends that I make, and the joy in helping new players find their way. I enjoy the game because I can go into a place, have an adventure, make a lot of gil, or lose it all on a gamble.

I play for the music.

I play because I keep getting drawn back into the game, it's great to take breaks, but really like XI, XIV is the game that I'm most excited about, I think it has the most potential, and even if it doesn't have the most subs, I play because the people I play with are fun.

So I am posing a question to these ppl... Why are you still playing?

I imagine that the OP may have a genuine interest in understanding why this phenomenon exists, but when I witness it I usually file it under the heading of "people like to complain on the internetz." Every forum for every game I've followed since the mid-90s has been that way.

[DNO]

I check in each "big" patch. I dont play the game I keep thinking it might turn fun then i log in for the next patch and realize its still the same game with minor changes just with less people. I mean level 50 cul here, is the game better for me than it was 15 months ago? Not really. 15 MONTHS!

Wow... this is the ...... wow....

I love how you picked the group of classes that SE told you would be worked on later. Even tho you have many classes lvled and all those classes were completely upgraded you chose to complain about CUL. LMAO!

People like you amaze me and the OP. I saw WoW for 30 mins... i knew it was not for me. So you no what i did? Not check the forums, Not complain in the forums and not play the game ever.

Man i can not wait for Jan 6th. If The trolls start to pay to complain ill...my...... mind blown...

[Deli]

cus I'm a generally positive person?

Lots things to do, see and try in game.
sometimes I just on my chocobo and walk all over the place. I made lots new friends in here. We all have similar goal. It's a good thing and small fee to enjoy.

So your point is even though the game has been in retail for 15 months AND I am talking about a class i took to 50 I am a troll. Got ya.

[Ruisu]

Because I enjoy dicking around and playing with friends and the game is nowhere near as bad as people on this forum make it out to be, despite glaring flaws.

and im sure im mising something all where updated quite a bit. You completely ignored that (and the fact that lots of UI changes were made) just to bitch about CUL.

You sir are a troll.

[KumaAkuma]

but I really dont get so many ppls need to complain so much about something that is not being forced upon them.

Because this game would go to hell if it only got positive feedback, but it's not like SE is listening unless it's for something stupid as dyes.
