Thread: Is 1.18 the final straw?

I have to honestly agree with him... Atm I have more fun on FFXIV then WoW, just like I had more fun on XI then WoW. It all comes down to what you like Solo based game or a Group based game. For me and many others the forced solo game play and over simplification of WoW negates all the stuff that is there.

I agree with you that wow is for simpletons. What is odd is that you didn't understand my reaction. Look at the post just under yours for a hint.

The game is not bad at all.
I played/tested WoW for a month and it's not even close to being as fun like FFXIV.
It's fun now and it only gets better every single month.

ur right if we give up after giving a shitty game 9 months were just quiters

Good thing I'm not a real fan then at least I still have a head on my shoulders.

I white knighted this game for the first few months saying all kinds of similar things, until I looked at the bigger picture and realized how shitty of a situation it's in.

I played WoW long ago. I don't play it anymore. I will not play it again. I can however tell you that if you think FFXIV is more fun than WoW you are either a total fanboy, have never actually played (or bothered to enjoy) WoW, or you're a moron. No other options, it's one of those three. I don't like the WoW community, I don't like the game anymore and how much of a time waste it was, but if there's one thing for sure it's the fact that WoW is significantly more entertaining than FFXIV is.

Like I said earlier, Minecraft is a shitload more entertaining than this. You can't get much worse graphically than that, except for maybe Pong or something on atari. If you think graphics are all that it's about, I'll just casually sort you into the "don't know what the hell a videogame is about" generation and walk away.

Unfortunately the discussion is moot to begin with considering there will always be thick-skulled people that will disagree with me about everything because they sit on opinions and not facts, and then when they find out eventually that I was right they'll pretend to have forgotten about it.

I played WoW starting with BC, up to lvl81 into cataclysm and quit for FFXIV, and I think FFXIV is funner >.>. All a matter of personal view.

I really hope 1.18 does what it's supposed to do WELL. I lead a small LS of close RL friends and I'm starting to get embarrassed telling them "log on Thursday at 9, we're gonna do battleleves... again..." I rarely log on when it's not a LS night anymore...
I know 1.18 is not the miracle patch, and there isn't going to be ONE miracle patch... but if 1.18 is heralding the big sweeping changes that'll fix FFXIV and gear it towards a new direction, and it fails to impress the vast majority... I dunno... we'll see.

I find it funny how games made by 1-5 people such as Minecraft or Amnesia: The Dark Descent or Castle Crashers (with a handful more) generally have far more depth and entertainment value than most of the games lately that "look" like masterpieces by these multimillion dollar companies with over 200 staff members developing them. Kinda says a lot about the state of the commercial game industry.

Dear SE... take extra time... take even longer than you originally anticipated and make sure everything is right before you implement it....
