wow so everybody plays mmo's now to finish them fast af should be immediate not gained over time ok hey sqaure enix just give these guys everything now so they will stop complaining hell lets make game easier.
FFXI af could take months to years to get but those were the days when people were willing to work for it and suffer.


mmo's are dead thanks to the I want it now generation of gamers who are impatient.

FFXI actually took THAT LONG to accomplish things though. There was always something you could do to better yourself or obtain due to gear swapping. Gear swapping was the greatest creation ever. It to this day makes every facet of endgame relevant for a 10+ year old game.
FFXI took months to get your first 75, not 2 days of Abyssea... I mean FATE grinding.

The issue is that with FFXIV you are not in control of how fast you go. It feels like a f2p system attached to a p2p game... "Best gear in the game: limited dungeon run 1-time a week, myth caps @300". Please do not compare old school FFXI to this. There was content to do in NA release of XI (RoZ), the only barrier was how much you were willing to put in.

That is a steaming pile of BS. If you CHOOSE to FATE grind, that is your choice. But YOU are in control of how fast you level your character. No one can make you power level, you chose that for yourself. So don't blame the game, the game maker or anything else for your own play choices.

I couldn't agree more, and I'm about as casual as they come. I haven't even reached tome cap yet. I don't mind it taking forever, and I absolutely love the multi-class feature. Everyone that is OMG I HAVE TO GET THIS DONE RIGHT NOW is going to find themselves burned out on the game.

Do what you do and enjoy it while you do it. If you're not, go do something outside the video game and enjoy that.

Quit demanding gear because you expect to be the best with little effort.

I played XI also, an while AF could take awhile. There was no programmed cap that made it so you couldn't progress more then x-amount each week. Here, you have a cap that makes it so you can't complete AF2 + Relic+1 before 5 months.

FFXI the relics, basically what the OP is talking about had all kinds of roadblocks and wait times.
