Are you satisfied with this game?

If we're doing comparisons... trying to play FFXI well after it launched, on my own, was a horrible, horrible experience. Seemed I needed a group for most the content, but since I was new/didn't know where to look I was looked down upon for asking simple questions. I realize that's the fault of the community and not necessarily the game, but it left a really bad taste in my mouth, and I didn't play the game long.

This I am satisfied with as far as launch goes. There are some things I hope they improve upon, and at least one thing I consider game breaking and hope they'll fix (positional check every .3 seconds isn't acceptable). Other than that though, it has kept me entertained and interested more than many other MMO titles I've tried out in a long while. I'm willing to stick around and see what future patches hold.

I love the game. I love the story and the casual nature of it. I hate hardcore speed players. I hate people who find it necessary to try and ruin the fun of others. I hate mean-spirited people.

I love it.

Hands down best game of the past 5 years. EQ was the best from 99-04. WoW was 04-09. Nothing has been good since BC WoW....FFXIV is great in almost every facet.

I'm enjoying it... but it's too dumbed down and childish for me.

I'm gonna stick around, see how it evolves but it really isn't what I was expecting from the reboot.

I wish the community was a little more elitist. For example, it's frustrating that mages find their way to Coil without having the self-respect to do basic stuff like pick up Swiftcast.

I do like the game, though. The only structural thing I'd change that the devs haven't alluded to is FATE grinding as the only viable XP mechanism.

I'm dreading endgame because everything I hear in every topic including this one is gloom and doom, but...

So far? It's been one hell of a game.

It's better as a single player experience than as a MMO so far.

Game lacks ATM but come 2.2+ it will be great.

That's the point of an mmorpg. You play together with other people. Modern mmorpgs have ruined what it meant to be an mmo. You can do almost everything in this game solo. Why not play a single player game at that point? It seems people today just want some Diablo clones with a chat box.

FFXI was a near perfect experience at NA launch. And CoP made it pure perfection.

This game will probably doing much better if people stop attempting to shift into a WoW clone. No offense, but even for WoW, Catlaysm and Pandaria is just plain suck. The only worth mention expasnion is TBC only. Less bend over the so called "casual playing" is better.
