First: People not in a ls/guild do not know how eachother play, its worse, idc how you look at it, its worse, be all touchy feely all you want, idc, its gimp compaired to a real group, esp something like "content finder" which is forced random groups which is where 12yr olds turn to and people that want to leech, its just how it is. You can count random /shout groups all you want, i do not, its not set, i promise you they wont be doing it every day.

Second: Why are you so anti-linkshell, are you in a bad one? Maby thats why your only interested in pvp. Do you really think all of these post are about us wanting random /shout groups 24/7? You need to put alittle thought into things, we care about linkshells, it was the foundation of all content/endgame in FF11 and those same people have brought it here, there are loads of ls's that are multicultural that have the ability to run through several prime times.

Your also compairing a game with millions of players compaired to ff14, even though your point is rediculous anyway.

Any competent player understands both his or her role and the role of the other members of the party. You do not need to know how people play on an individual basis. Certain skills and behaviors are expected and implied. I have lead many PUGs for nearly every event in the game and I see very little of this alleged childish ppl who want to leech" behavior/mentality. In no small part because the bad launch of FFXIV back in the day drove off most of the people you speak ill about, this game has a pretty strong community and does not have an overabundance of poor players who don't understand their job and can't follow directions.

which is forced random groups which is where 12yr olds turn to and people that want to leech, its just how it is.

Sorry, it's not just how it is. You're starting to sound a lot like the 12 year olds you're making fun of though, particularly with your poor grammar and insulting as well as high-and-mighty attitude.

Second: Why are you so anti-linkshell,

I'm not anti-linkshell. But I'm also not anti-PUG either.

are you in a bad one?

Nope, I'm actually quite happy with my LS.

Maby thats why your only interested in pvp.

I'm not "only" interested in PvP. I'm interested in PvP in addition to being interested in other parts of the game. Otherwise I wouldn't have been playing it since the very first alpha version and would have just waited til I heard about PvP coming before even touching the game.

You need to put alittle thought into things,

You need to take your own advice and stop making baseless assumptions about the people you're talking to.

[Jeronlmo]

In wow, your correct, where every single fight is very cookie cutter, FF is not the same, there are multiple strats for every single fight in any content. You actually do need to communicate and know your group.

It is how it is, content finder is a forced party, its 100% random, the larger the game is, the more 12yr olds + leeches you get.

Playing since the very first alpha version and you only have 2 50's... let me guess, you play 2-3hrs and are a patch-hopper.

You have been making baseless assumptions vs every single person ive ever seen you argue with on these forums.

[indira]

people will still blame the lag when they mess up or fake DC.
nothing will change, next post "we want the old servers back "

[urban]

It don't matter to me. it's not like i understand all languages. hell i barley get invite from jp,na,eu,etc, players anyway. i just feel bad for players who have lots of friend out there and new players who are going to join FFXIV that want to exp. the one server community. Lets see how Alpha Test turns out.

[Davorok]

Are you all forgetting that as a Legacy Member you can have up to 8 characters on Every Server/World? You can still play with your "International Friends" on their servers at no extra cost.

Playing since the very first alpha version and you only have 2 50's... let me guess, you play 2-3hrs and are a patch-hopper.

Once again, making baseless assumptions about players. No, I am not a "patch hopper." I just don't care much for leveling and prefer to play content. I'm too busy running bosses and other stuff to level more stuff. I didn't play much after the first month or so post launch, but I've been an active player ever since the announcement of 2.0. I've paid my dues, earned my Legacy status, and kept on playing the whole time. Everyone plays an MMO for different reasons.

You have been making baseless assumptions vs every single person ive ever seen you argue with on these forums.

No, I have not. I have a clear base for any assumptions I make and I always spell them out. People are welcome not to agree with them, but they are not without base. I do not go around telling individuals "you must be a <insert stereotype here>' every post like you have so far in this thread.

tl;tr, i don't want regional servers I'm sad I'm gonna stop playing.

i never saw any need to post anything in the forum before cause i know it's pointless, but i have to right now cause the road SE is taking now will kill FFXIV in the near Future, the Idea of Regional Server is the best way to ensure that, I've seen it in wow, aion, rift all the other games~ where you would always end up playing the game in the prime-time of your region "4-6hours give or take" and after that it's just either fail group or normal farming, and consider this game have no PVP and its PVP wont be as good as any other MMO, you will end up doing Nothing outside the prime-time.

The Main reason why i played ffxi since 2002 was the community, not only the game play, bosses, cool story, community was the reason i lingered in the game for that long, no matter which game i went to play i always come back to ffxi cause of the people i know in there, the friends i made and the fun time we've shared before and will have in every encounter we face in the game. i have friends all around the worlds that i would have not met them if i played in regional server.

Sadly right now Mr. Yoshida you are breaking almost all your promises that you kept telling us through the last two years when the game was utter trash, yet we stayed and we believed in you, and the change you were bringing to the game~ we were asked to pay for this game just to support it while it was not even 60% of what the game should be but the faithful community stand by you and your team supported you in every way we could, you promised that nothing should be wiped or reset and the wealth should be carry out through 2.0 cause those people that played for that long earned it, first you tried and removed one single digit which wont effect most of the players and those with cap gil can store it at their retainers, and if I'm not mistaken within the next day you came up with "1/10" the wealth will be carried and you are relaying to the arrows issues which is by far beyond me. saying that NPC will sell their goods for 1/10 what they used to wont effect the market cause player would not do the same, it's not matter of money would hold its value rather than the act itself of changing what we've been promised before.

And now 4-5months before the 2.0 you come up with the free "regional server", what you did sir is you didn't lock the region on the game itself which mean people that bought EU/NA/JP copy can move around as they like in a "regional servers" which does not count as International server, and the idea of putting label into the server as EU/NA/JP alone will do the damage.

I'm sure that I'm talking only about myself but I'm like 85% quitting the game once the server goes down and no action is taken toward the regional Servers, the game would lose the main reason I'm playing so I'll be doing Guild wars 2 for sure or LoL again. I only hope that if my Server "Durandal" would make a post about staying together as server and most of us agree on it as Community, that any server we move to "JP/EU/NA" would mean nothing to us cause the community moved as one.

What promises did Naoki Yoshida break exactly?

He announced his plan for regional servers very early on when they told us about 2.0. We have known about that forever now. And even if he hadn't, he never promised he wouldn't.

If you aren't happy with the idea of regional servers, that's fine, but don't say he broke a promise he never made.
