FFXIV: ARR becoming TORtanic

He is somewhat right about his post. This is exactly how ToR started out.

Not quite. SWTOR had plenty of other problems. People complain about the end game here. In SWTOR their big raids were downed within a 1-2 weeks after people hit cap. Several months down the line? No huge content updates and when the "big one" finally got released? Week later done. FFXIV is offering far more content in it's first patch than star wars.

When you play WoW today you are not playing vanilla end game content nor the next three expansions that followed it. You only play the current expansion which launched two years after the release of the previous one. It is completely incorrect to say that the whole of WoW end game is ten years worth of stuff. Each expansion now releases with a far superior end game compared to FFXIV.

Also that excuse would be amazing in 2004, but it's not 2004 and you can't compete in the past.

Too bad its content is super easy and the main reason there are so many bad players here at end game. WoW endgame content better? Lol. People finish that crap in days.

So I gather you have finished all the hard mode raids? If not then don't tell me it's easy because you have no idea. WoW certainly has its flaws but the hard mode raids being too easy is not one of them.

FFXIV doesn't even have raids...

Coils of bahamut don't exist?

P.S. If WoW's hardmode raids are so hard why do they get downed within a week or two? Why hasn't coils of bahamut been beaten yet? It's been a month.

you honestly enjoy killing a monster for it to drop something that sells 1-3 gil on the npc?

Some of those things I can make something out of and sell for 500 on the board, or some thing I can put directly up on the board for 100 each. Want to NPC it? Your problem.

Haha, why are so many people still accusing people of rushing? This game has been out for months now, just because you focused on one or two classes and not all of them does not mean you rushed. Personally I work 40-50+ hrs a week, have a relationship and 2 dogs, and I'm still 50 on my main and 4 crafts, have been doing coil for about 2 weeks now (which is refreshing after grinding dungeons). I have absolutely 0 interest in grinding FATEs, mindlessly spamming aoe spells/abilities and not even getting to play my class as intended is not my thing and although I think some of the reasoning the OP suggested is irrelevant I really have to say there IS NOT a lot to do in this game currently as some people are suggesting. I understand this is launch and I'm more than happy to give the game time to implement content but at this rate I know about 10 people who have quit due to lack of content and I don't want to see that number continue climbing because people have nothing to do.

CAPS AND LARGE FONTS TOTALLY WILL GET THE ATTENTION OF THE DEVELOPMENT TEAM, I HEARD PURPLE TEXT ALSO WORKS TO

- No PvP upon launch (even SWTOR had PvP on Launch)

Don't care FF has never been a PVP Focused game and if that is what you need feel free to check out many other games that focus on this.

- Little Post-Game Stuff to do (AK,CP Runs, Long Duty Finder Queue, Tomes Farming)
Very boring and repetitive stuff.

Unlike every new game that doesn't have 10+ years of content and expansion packs?

- Little incentive to do a max level alt class, leveling them is entirely dependent
Upon mindless Fates grinding and minuscule leve quests, seriously why shouldn't
former low lvl quests reset for a low level alt?

If you are looking for the fastest way to the end this is true, however if you actually enjoy the game and playing it you have many options for leveling. You dont need to 'beat' the 'unbeatable' game in the first week its out.

- Crafting is very boring and inconsequential and a majority of players have no interest
In wasting their time crafting wherein they could be doing other more fun stuff

I like crafting and based on the hundreds of people standing around crafting I think your opinion here is just that YOUR OPINION but thank you for telling me how I like to play my game and what I enjoy and don't

- Worthless monster drops that give nothing but stupid crafting materials

versus ... what? you want to find some bad ass epic on a level 5 mob?

- Very hard to accumulate Gil in this game because monster loot sucks.

Do you only rely on killing enemies for their gold drops? If so you will find yourself in a bad place in any MMO.

- Ridiculous teleportation and repair fees

See Above - If you rely soley on that gold drop from enemies to finance your time in the game I could see these being 'ridiculous'.

- No server transfers upon launch

Who cares and its live now? Are you bitching for the sake of bitching?

- No vanity/fashion items upon launch

My bag is full of swimsuits, Usagi Kabuto masks, ghost costumes, etc. There is RP gear all over this game have you tried looking for it?

uh-huh, ARR's whiteknights say exactly same stuff as tortanic's whitenights... Tortanic too was getting content slow(and bugfixes) and how did it turned out? Casuals played trough most of the relevant content and quit.

yet here you are... and what does that make you?
