Stop the Grind-to-the-Endgame madness!

^^^ You put so much faith in a guy that has showed little to no results, and no i do not dislike yoshida, i just find it mind blowing, how a guy get praised to the heavens for writing silly letters about what will come 2 years from said released letter, i have yet to see an update where he or his team shows they are going beyond what any developer out there in the industry would go to please us or win us back, every update so far, has been what lackluster if compared to any other MMO, and sure you can as always use the "2.0 excuse" or the infamous "Server limit etc etc one"

If 2.0 is just a server switch and a restart of the crappy story of 1.0 i will be disappointed, for i am expecting a huge influx of content across all levels, and i do not mean 1 quest every 10 levels, and the same 5 quest on repeat for the next 2 years until an expansion hits.

Have you seriously not been following the game since Yoshi-P has taken over? He has done tons of things with the current crappy game engine that are successful. Of course nothing mind blowing yet but that is because it would be a total waste to do so, he is putting that stuff into 2.0, the screen shots alone with all the things coming with 2.0 is mind blowing in itself but since you need to see to believe then just wait for 2.0 beta it is just around the corner.

Though I guess arguing the point is fruitless because you are going to refuse any point anyone else makes til you see it for yourself.

I have been playing the game since beta to date..... So yes i have been following the game, i was not impressed with the waste of resources on "Seasonal events" that added little to no lore, or the spamfest that beastman camps are, really there is little to no strategy to them other than "Zerg everything till it dies", wish was ok back then since the game needed content in any shape or form, but is been 2 full years, the excuse of 2.0 is irrelevant since they can add content at cap level, but not in mid or lower level ? really ? yet they do a welcome back campaign.... smart move there yoshi.

Also the party search function, that was something i was really exited about, until i saw it and then i was like ..... wow really ? this is nothing like any LFG tool in any MMO, it is so.... backward and better yet utterly useless..... yeah if something as important as that is delivered in such conditions what excuse is there ? None at all really.

Oh and i never said i have no faith in him, just not blind faith as some people have, wish is ok as long as like religion, they don't try to shove it down my throat, do i have my doubts ? Yes, are they well founded ? In my opinion they are, not to you ? Cool, but there is really no reason for attacks as childish as "Well if you dont like it leave" lol

Its not childish at all, its the truth. Its one thing to say that you don't like something or that you are worried about this or that -- but you seem to have a definite pessimism about the game and the direction it is headed.

Anyway, they have actually added a bunch of stuff to the lower-mid tier. Jobs and all of their associated AF/Spell quests are mid level content. There's a Shoposhae, Totorak, quests for ifrit, grand companies, and the Chocobo, that's in addition to a ton of other side quests. They've also made numerous "quality of life" improvements to the level up game such as exp chains and the reshuffling of abilities.

Yes they've added a lot more to the "end game" but that makes sense since that is where the vast majority of the playerbase is. Likewise, when people do complete this stuff its almost never at an appropriate level because they just use their 50s to steam roll on through it.

Again, if you don't have faith that Yoshida can turn this thing around, why are you here? You're not happy with the current state of the game, you're not happy with the direction it is headed... Why not waste your time and money looking for something you can enjoy?

The fact that these guys were willing to admit they screwed up and attempt to completely rebuild the game is absolutely something that you don't see often. If you look around most other MMOs in this situation they have either been shut down entirely or forced to go f2p. If 2.0 doesnt succeed then I doubt the team will get a third chance. For that reason alone all of us better have a little faith and hope that Yoshida can pull it off.
