Fresh Start will ruin 2.0

[hrdndv]

The whole argument is flawed. We do not have a real economy that feeds back into itself. Anyone can have tons of excess money and the economy will not be affected, because we do not have a supply-demand economy. All prices are fixed and all items are infinite.

Fresh start implies NO TRANSFERS, otherwise its not really a "fresh" start, just a new server. If there were transfers this would not be an issue. So you are correct.

Even if there's no transfers there's really no problem. It doesn't affect you, why should you care?

Really? personally attacking me? If you don't like my posts, don't post.

When this game was released I basically said it was probably going to fail:
http://ffxiv.zam.com/forum.html?foru...57471285740#18
And said the same thing in multiple other threads.
I got the whole "DON'T HATE, ITS NEW, THEY WILL FIX IT" thing over and over again. "ITS A HYPOTHETICAL PROBLEM, SE IS SMARTER THAN THAT"

In november I asked ppl to post server populations and predicted that they would drop to 500ish ppl by christmas. Shortly after they stopped showing the server population (and it most likely hit that prediction)

When they decided to charge people -before- new jobs I said it would kill off the population.. it did, and finally led to server merges

I post the things I post for a reason, and A lot of times they do come true. I might be wrong, but so far I've argued that the game had a bad launch, the economy is a mess, the population would drop drastically, it would take them well over a year to 'fix' the game (most people were saying it would be fixed completely by last christmas), and they would pull the game away from open world stuff towards instanced dungeons. All of those are true or have come true.

Why hello there, everybody knew it was failing.

When you "predict" things that are obvious, of course you're going to be right. Are we supposed to believe you're some kind of psychic?

I'd like everyone to click the OP's username and look at the threads they have started. I promise you.... it's worth it. I'll put a few in here.

Make leveling optional (Yes, you've read that right)

Let's make hard raids drop vanity gear instead

If you bothered to read the first post you would realize it was a criticism of someone else arguing that leveling should be optional

And if you bothered to read the second post you would realize it was an argument that the hardest stuff in the game should drop vanity gear so that hardcore players have something to work towards, but so you don't get that split between casuals and hardcores like in ffxi. That was argued in sept 2011, when this game was still supposed to be "casual and solo friendly" unlike now.

I have read them and no matter if it was a self proclaimed clever way at mocking power leveling or not still shows the idiocy in your ideals. Also, this wasn't labeled as casual and solo friendly. It was a work in progress that at one point had that feel to it.

Bottom line is, nobody knows s#!%. Especially you.

If I were a new player, I would not play on an old server. Nobody likes to be at a disadvantage. SE will make fresh servers for fresh players and this thread will likely go un-noticed.
