The decline begins... Square Enix, heed my call.

Normal progression of MMO's. Launch, huge surge, burn out and then leave.

Most people who are smart know to give an MMO 3-6 months to get a feeling of where it's going. That will be the true test. Patch 2.1 could put us on the right track, or leave us feeling unsatisfied. Some of the quick issues will already be resolved, like the DF and getting more rewards for using it. Otherwise, I've seen enough Doom posts to know they are only about 1/8 correct. Guess it doesn't phase me, I played SWTOR for a year and a half.

wow so let me get this straight all the players in ffxiv arr use the forums and post threads to let us know they are unsubbing gee they do the same thing in wow, swtor and many other mmo's who would have thought that EVERY PLAYER WHO PLAYS THIS GAME USES THESE FORUMS AND THAT WOULD BE A BAROMETER ON HOW THE GAME IS DOING.

give it a rest! only a small percentage of people use the forums they don't want to be bothered with silly threads of doom and gloom and over inflated ego's, most people hearthis type of crap all day at work why the hell do you think they would ever want to listen to a 24 hour a day gamer with nothing better to do than complain, Yes the game has Issues Will they get resolved yes they will but to get all butthurt and bent out of shape over it or spread misinformation like many have is what hurts games is the bottom line and thats why many people don't bother with forums anymore.

what's funny is how many people jump all over the dev's because they don't fix something right away or respond instantly to them here is a clue for those type of players The world does not revolve around you you can throw a fit call people white knights and slam all you want you are doing nothing new that has not been seen in every mmo EVEN WOW! EQ, SWTOR, FFXI - ect

First of all, calm down...

I never said anything about unsubbing or threatening Square with an account cancellation -_-

I'm saying that people are getting bored and in a result of being bored, they will quit, period. Whether YOU personally are having a good time is completely irrelevant because a lot of people aren't. You have to be insanely naive to think that's not gonna happen.

I'm basing this not only from the forums, heaps of my friends are finding less reasons to logon and have that "cbf" attitude because they are pigeon holed into dumb things. I'm seeing more and more people in shout say they are tired of doing the same thing over and over and losing motivation to level alts because fates are almost as boring as watching paint dry.

50? spam AK/WP...
leveling? spam Fates...

boring, there's no variety.

I am not "jumping" on the devs, I am merely stating what's wrong with the game and giving my own suggestions, and judging from all the Likes I've received, people tend to agree with me.

I want the game to be fun with variety, and I'm making sure Square receives the feedback they deserve.

Having Fates as the only viable option is not only bad for "boredness" but it also makes a lot of people really bad at their class. 50's not knowing how to tank... 50's not knowing about heal agro... it's a terrible design concept, dungeons need to be buffed so people understand how their class works in a 4-man and 8-man setup.

Buffing Dungeons means

1. Variety for both leveling and level 50's tome farming.
2. People will learn their class.
3. New Players aren't stuck in story queues for 3 hours.
4. Promotes MVP system

Why some people disagree with those 4 statements is mind boggling.

I was in a Fate group the other day, 6 tanks and 2 dps... and people wonder why DF takes long to pop?
