Would you care if SE ignored you?

Not everyone has OCD. FFXIV has the option to play all classes, but it does not mandate that you have to play all classes. For some people, getting all primal weapons is just obsessive and pointless. They want the weapons they can use on their main classes, and then want to move on.

I think the reason we try to 100% complete things at present is because , well, what else are we going to do?

So saying people haven't completed all content because they havent grinded everything 100+ times just depends on the definition of "completion". Many gamers might consider that a bit excessive.

I hang out in uldah a lot, and a lot of the "vets" I see are nothing but "posers", showing off their latest addition to their "uber gear" collection. I'll bet some of them have killed Ifrit over 100 times. These kind of peopel don't care about new players. But, if the population doesn't grow significantly, they may regret how they play the game.

I don't see how it can be disturbing when the tail of the tonberry is underneath me. Maybe if it was in front of me, I would see where you were coming from. You just have a dirty mind.

I must of been thinking DoH/DoL. Regardless, ARR is casual orientated, i highly doubt it will be hard or even stressful to level up.

This is a MMO. MMO
I don''t play an MMO to do solo sh it.

Then just don't read it and pretend your just randomly killing them ( like you are now) =).

lmao honestly i havent done any quests at all i hate questing. Quest rewards tend to be crap rewards to Mission drop or NM drops so i dont waste my time with them.

Further, with a quest-based leveling system I'm assuming once you get to 50 with maybe 2 jobs, things will get really repetitive. And that might have a negative effect on subscribership (as to compete with current players new players have to level 3 or 4 jobs)

So I'm wondering. If SE focused more on the leveling process for the first year, as opposed to a new dungeon every 2months, would you be cool with that?

Personally I would (And I have all dow/dom at 50)

People will most likely keep subscribing even after their 3rd 50. If they can tolerate going through the same quests and storylines, grinds, etc. in other MMORPG's with different characters, then I am sure that doing this with a single character would be much more fulfilling to them.

If I understand the leveling system in 2.0 correctly, it will be similar to the Achievement System now. That means you can basically try to do it anytime but will find it easier later on. Also you gain achievement points based on accomplishments not how many monsters you kill. It is really a totally different game.

They have also said lots of new content and more on the way. I don't see us old time level 50 players doing much better than the newbies. You can't defeat the game and leave.... You have to continue playing.

They have said that working with 1.0 engine is hard and take to long to learn/fix issue with 2.0 engine is faster and quicker to learn and easy to find issue in the game. From the alpha test you can tell the stress test work without a issue. In 1.0 i remember beta 1 we log in for 5sec and they had to shut down they did that for 3weeks. So i'm guessing from how things are going the alpha version is working fine with load of people.

I think it save to say that the new engine is doing just fine which mean more update and more stuff for both low level and high level.

And my point was that they already made enough content for everyone to get 50 and enough stuff to do for low level and even solo dungeon. The only thing is level 50 have to wait for crystal towers to be release by the time enough new player reach that level the crystal tower would be release that what i was saying.

Sorry... Alpha hasn't started yet. Two more days before the Japanese site opens. Probably a week before they open California if there are no major bugs. (See yesterdays Letter from Yoshi)

I do quests in the hope that I'll get a quest line like the SOB ones in FF11.

Now that I think of it, none of the quests i've done in FF14 have been "memorable". Although, I did steal a line from that Nikolus (sp) kid in gridania.

"Piss off, sprat!"

lmao when i first did that quest and the Mithra thief said You good for Nothing SoBs i lost it, thinking she called them sons of bitchs and SE was just wording it like that, till i found out their name was Star Onion Brigade i lost it even harder.

Taru CSs were the best in FFXI Lalafells are not as silly as Tarus >.> i still remember the CS of windy rank up at the windurst building in jeuno and one of the Tarus is daydreaming about windurst XD i also love how Taru NPCs panic in CSs
