    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.

    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.

    Yes it should have been, but I explained why they didn't. The game failing was not the topic, but it IS the reason for the lack of content. I agree with you it is inexcusable to release a game before it's finished, but it's not the dev team's fault that they were forced to launch it when they did.

    Resorting to constant personal insults isn't the way to get your point across. You stated that there should have been content waiting. I explained why there wasn't. That's all.

    Resorting to re-iterating points made in September 2010 also isn't the way to get a point across, especially when the point has been beaten to death and everyone already knows.

    I concur though, insulting may not have been the way to go but was simply trying to get you to understand that I already knew this information and it didn't have anything to do with what I, personally, was conveying. Whatever though, we can agree that we agree so I say move on and forget.
