FFXIV: ARR becoming TORtanic

[nimrod]

100% agree with OP.

[GarionVale]

I'm almost starting to think the OP is just trolling on this thread, but either way people have brought up many good points that you have chosen to ignore and only comment on the ones you want to comment on.

But either way.... If you don't like the game don't play it. If you don't like how it is now, then put it on hold and come back after 2.1 or later patch. And if you are having fun then continue playing. No point fighting over things like if you like crafting. (enjoy getting a relic if no one is there to craft you the base weapon)

Especially since the games he referenced are widely accepted as the grindiest of of pointless grindyness games.

ITT: OP thinks Tera had mad content at release. All other opinions invalidated.

The deficiencies that I have pointed out of this MMO are common complaints every FFXIV:ARR player knows concerning this game and one has to be in terrible denial not to acknowledge them like denying the elephant in the room.

I already blew apart half of them. You just want to decry the lack of PvP, mainly, and that's fine. I don't much are about PvP myself, but hell, they're adding PvP soon, so it doesn't matter. The rest of what you have to say is mostly nonsense.

Basically, what you have left are these, and they're already coming:

1. You want PvP, which is coming in 2.1 but probably should have been in at release.
2. You want more endgame content, which is fine, and more is coming. However, there is already quite a bit compared to most MMOs at launch, and it's huge compared to what TOR had.
3. You want vanity gear, which... well, I tend to agree, but it's not a deal-breaker for a whole lot of people.
4. You want shorter DPS queue times, which can only come with more tank and healer jobs. Every MMO has this problem, though, and it's mainly because players like yourself want to play the glamorous big-number-generators instead of the workhorse battle-managers. It was going to be so much worse before they got SCH in at launch, and I whined endlessly about that problem on the beta forums. I also called SCH as a healer when it leaked simply because I knew that the lack of healers would have completely killed the game. I'm sure Yoshi realizes what is needed and will prioritize development of classes and jobs with appropriate roles.
5. You want an alternate quest-oriented way of leveling alternate classes, like daily quests, which are being added. (As a side-note, they really need to fix DoW leve rewards; they're roughly a third of what they should be. I suspect that will be coming as well in 2.1 along with things like the achievement rebalance.)

For the list of invalid stuff, you have

• You want server transfers, which is terribly premature. Server load needs to be balanced, and the existence of legacy servers means that there has to be time for newer servers to catch up. The addition of two newer-still servers means that it has to be delayed. It will come in due time, and it simply cannot reasonably be in right now.
• You want the game to shower you with gil in a terrible-design way. Not happening.
• You want puddings to shower you with weapons in a terrible-design way. Not happening.
• You hate crafting, despite never having tried it.
• You hate selling things to crafters, despite never having tried it.

Is the OP going to come back to support his standings, brag about pvp while not even bothering to improve his own character more and discuss
issues that has been already mentioned...consistently in the forums?

[Vod]

lol @ the ridiculous repair fees comment. You should have seen what they were when the first wave of people hit 50.

[Thotor]

OP has not even done end game content aka Coil.

[Delsus]

@OP ok you have some DL therefore you have done CM, and an Ifrit's book so you have beaten Ifrit, and the demon block from AK, but what about Garuda, Titan, Relic, Coil (of which Turn 5 has not been legitimately beaten, and the ones that beat it said it was not legitimate) if there is nothing to do you should have all level 50s all relic weapons and beaten every content, which it's obvious you haven't.

[SolviteSekai]

If they put in vanity gear I will truly be upset.

How can anyone truly look forward to seeing 1.05 million people running around in immersion breaking swimsuits while fighting dragons?
