Please becareful with developing FF14

Unfortunately patch 2.1 will not address the issue the OP is talking about. Patch 2.1 is a joke in itself as it shows just how far behind they really are. Sounds like the planning department dropped the ball. We are again getting rehashed content via the primals and 2 rehashed dungeons that are hard modes. Open world is stagnant because once you hit 50 there is no real reason to go any where other than to farm.

What exactly is keeping you in A Realm Reborn? I just have to ask. You been here for 2 years according to your Join Date.

What keeps me here is no concern of yours but... what keeps players like you here is simple, you refuse to ask for something more. Now if players like me that you disagree with leave than what makes you think the game will stay afloat? The more that leaves XIV the less chance of it being a long term game that you and I and everyone else can enjoy. AS Yoshi said he wants to attract a broad audience, if he in fact meant this than he needs to keep to his word and players such as your self need to also accept it. This game has potential but yet other players dont want to unlock that potential for what ever reason/s.

You talk about a broad audience but all you seem to want them to do is cater to your endgame needs, how is that catering to a broad audience? I would say YOU need to accept that what they're adding in 2.1 IS for a broad audience, not just the I'VE DONE ALL CONTENT AND AM BORED!!!! crowd.

No not just one side as the current game dose there is room to do both if the dev's want but so far everything point to "they dont want to". Currently probably 99% of the game goes to casuals and 1% goes to hardcore player or high end players (whatever you wish to call them). The issue at hand seems to be a big issue not just in XIV but other games is, that 1 group crys if something is too hard or they cant get it right now. Why cant the other players accept that we high end players get something to keep us busy because in the end did Yoshi not say he would nerf old content? I dont see the issue if in fact he keeps his word and dose nerf the old content when new content is released.

You just always seem to have everything against even in the 1.0 days. I am curious, you been here for a long time and I just hear just negative comments about the game. Which makes me wonder why you continue to play. The rest of you post I didn't need to know because it wasn't apart of what I was asking.

Let me ask you a better question: What do you like about FFXIV ARR?

Pointing out its flaws is the 1st step to improving something. If I blindly accept everything even though I or you or whoever can see the flaws is not helping the dev's at all, because than nothing will change. Ask for more, ask for improvements but dont ask to be handed things easily. Yes some things should be easy but at the same time some things need to pose a challenge to players. i do wish I could continue speaking with you all, you all have been very nice I must go to work so on that note. Every one have a great day, and hopefully a better understanding for all side's.

What I like about XIV is the ability to be all you can be meaning all jobs if I choose to which I have, and that this game will offer something completely new that caters to all player types, that no other game has. I know SE can do it they have done it in the past, that is why I keep pushing for more than the same ole same ole. I have played the final fantasy series going back to the nes days and loved every minute of it minus FF13. I know they can do it but its a matter of when.
