Why I quit

[Grimm]

Hi,

I'm not really posting this to flame becasue I haven't played FFXIV in weeks. I loved FFXI, and it will always have a nice warm place in my heart, and as a result, no matter how many times I give up on FFXIV, or quit for that matter, I'll always be watching to see if it will once again be playable.

I quit because I like to level on my own time. I dislike the idea that when I login, I have to either A. do leves by myself, or B. find a group to do leves, or C. suffer with bad exp, and grind.

In games like Perfect World, I would grind. In Forsaken World, I would AFK level. In FFXI, I would put my party flag up, and grind". "I WISH to the heavens FFXIV had a similar party system." On RIFT, I would do PVP, on S4 League, I fight "pvp", on Rakion, I fight, on Aion, I get a power level, on eve, I can afk lvl "obviously".. the point is there is ALWAYS some way to level. Accept on FFXIV. I'm stuck doing boring leves, or camping behest. Who even came up with leves? Quests that you must do over and over and over and over? Were they too stupid to come up with a real quest lines with fresh new quests? Even most games that offer quests, you can grind just as easily, or instance at the least. But here. You have leves, and behest. I love behest, but I absolutely hate to leve-- and as a result, there is almost nothing for me to do in FFXIV unless I want to craft.

So this is why I quit, and I don't mean to flame or anything, but I really hope this game gets its stuff together, becasue I'm tired of all the wow clones. Almost as tired as I am of leves.

YES LETS NOT PLAY THE GAME TO GET EXP OR LVL LETS GO AFK! Get real. Either play the game to play and do things yourself or don't play what the hell is the point of the game playing itself for you?
