Seriously 3-5 minute repop on NMs?

It doesn't make sense to make endgame just yet for a game that's still having foundationwork done to the core programing. It also doesn't make sense to add it when the game is still essentially in testing and free to play.

Nowhere did I state they should be adding content prior to the system being over-hauled. I simply explained what Scarface said in a better way. And as much as it doesn't make sense to add end-game content now, it makes even less sense to release an MMO with absolutely no low/mid/end-game content.

You implied that it should have been waiting for you at lv 50.

I think the underlying issues he's addressing, and one I completely agree with, is that there is no end game content, and there was none waiting for us when we did hit 50. I've never, ever played any other MMO where, I reach the level cap, and the next option for my playing of the game was to level another class/job/whatever.

If the game wouldn't have flopped upon launch we would have endgame atm, or at the very least the level cap would have been raised by this point. So technically it can't be judged against other MMO's b/c it's still in a testing phase.

Yes, it should have been waiting at rank 50, it should have been waiting at ranks 10, 20, 30 & 40 as well. I don't see how "should have had content at release" is anything like "should add content before system changes."

And again, you're coming back to the game failing at launch, which has absolutely nothing to do with what I am saying. There should be stuff for people of all ranks to do, UPON release. Not AFTER release.

Failing upon launch has everything to do with the lack of endgame content. The game was rushed, and the intended plan was the same as XI. Endgame and the such was to come later after a level cap increase, or after sufficient time had passed. The reason players are stuck twiddling their thumbs was because of the initial rushed release date + the major overhauls that are being done now because of the flop.

You have a horrible, horrible time understanding basic english, dude.

The game's release date was rushed. The designers did not have enough time to do everything they would have liked to. This meant that a lot of content was left out. Similar to Final Fantasy XI, this game was initially released without any endgame content. If you played XI from the beggining you would know that the game started with a level cap of 50. Final Fantasy XIV was going to emulate XI by adding content after its release. The game's release was not as popular as they had planned. The game is free to play because of the failed launch. They are currently fixing a lot of the problems they did not have time to fix for the release of the game. They are also working on content that they did not have time to impliment for the game's release.

^ Clear enough for you?

You're pretty dumb, huh? Firstly, the game failing was not the topic of the discussion, the lack of content was, and the opinion I was conveying was that of what should have been, and had nothing to do with the launch state of the game, nor the process in which it was completed. It was a statement that releasing a game as such with no content is inexcusable.

Now you can kindly take your condescending peddling and cram it up your ass.
