ARR often feels very contradictory in its design (long)

They need to make us want to do fates.

They'll probably try to do this by dumping allagan tomestones on us.

Devs have been very active today on the forum.....

Sadly not with reading.

And don't mix up developers with first level supporters. We face the latter here.

[SolArisa]

Do the Devs even bother reading these posts?

No.

Sorry, sometimes it's painful to face the truth.

I wish I could like the original post more than once.

you know what i find very funny? How all the white knights defend 2.0 but now it seems like 2.0 digressed all the way back to 1.0. In 1.0 every at the first month or 2 thought the game was fun and interesting, accepting things the way they were cause hey game is new they fix it. But now that people actually beat they content that all there was to offer people just started to look around more and noticing all the faults. Exactly what we have right now..... everyone finished pretty much everything so now is the noticing things that are wrong and SE isnt doing much right. So the sub will decrease and bam 1.0 all over. So many people i know are betting on 2.2 if its not enough i think we might be done with this game.

PS: dont stay people blew through content, poor excuse.

Cool story bro... no one is saying most blew through content. You guys who have nothing to do are a "very" small part of the player base. You do realize the people that beat T5 is a very low minority compared to the community as a whole. Most are on Titian HM working on relics atm trying to farm Myth/CT gear.You would also be amazed that people actually like the game like myself(who would believe). It sounds to me that regardless of what se does you won't be satisfied. This game will never be a FF11 (difficulty wise). This MMO is for casual-semi hard core and I doubt this will change so either your on board or your not. Now I do think FF14 still needs work (open world/crafting).This isn't a white knight post. To me it just seems your trolling or just exaggerating, the game is no where as bad as your making it to seem lol. Also is English your 1st language It was hard read ?

History repeats itself. But there is one important difference between back then and today. Back then, 1.0 had bad reviews and very bad press.

And who cares how the game will be in a year. Right now, only 1 thing is important: Securring a cashflow by releasing the PS4 version before the public realizes what this game and all the promises have become.

Maybe we should stop pointing out the problems in these forums here. The latest official comments only show that we're preaching to people who are purposely deaf and blind. Take your concerrns to the press instead.
Other forums like those of Gamespot, IGN, etc. may be a better place. Bringing the truth to the public instead of talking about it in a locked room.

Also let me tell you about crafting Bis Gear...It would be a disaster talk about destroying an economy. People would sell Bis gear for at least 10M+ for one piece. Look at how much they charge for i70 w materia now they want a like 1M+ for pieces. This game will turn into a gil game and a rmt heaven. If they allowed you to craft bis, just to afford it you would be forced to level crafts just to make gil to buy the bis gear or you would have to farm gil for days on end. A very large portion would just start buying gold or use bots to obtain gil. Also if you craft Bis what would you do once you had the gear? Run raids once or twice just to see them then never do them again. So the devs will stop making/expanding Raids because no one will run them enough for it to be a feasible investment of resources to expand on that content. I don't want to play a game that EG focus is about crafting and farming gil just to have gear to stand around and do nothing with. Sounds very GW2ish in how we would ideally be doing EG for vanity since people would just buy Bis and then stand around and do nothing.

Also is English your 1st language I could barley understand what your writing?

well you know even SE said they didnt anticipate the number of people who got the +1 relic weapons which is why they are making new weapons better. Thats the +1 that they meant, the one that cost 900 Myth, not the one from beating titan. which if by what SE said didnt expect +1 means ALOT of people beat Titans so that excuse is gone. And yes i am angry they game went from the 1.23 to this hand me this on a silver platter, i play mmos for the time sink, i like the grind, the challenge and rewards. Which is why i havent bought a Regular video game in a long time i dont wanna pay 60 dollars for a game im gonna beat the day i bought it.

PS cool story about Twintania, tobad next patch its gonna be nerfed so that pride that you had that your one of the few that could beat it is gone. and im not a hardcore player i player the hours that i can when i can so that casual crap is no excuse.

Won't happen this much excessive, Whiz.
Sure at first the price would be abnormally high, it always have been so.

The point is, SE has to fuel this part of the economy with a reasonable amount of needed items.
Vanya & Co has been so expansive becaus of the time needed to grind the items needed, not ore, not less.

SE can let bosses drop BoA items needed for syntheses. -> The syntheses is triggered like materia melding atm. -> HQ/NQ both possible and valuable! But HQ is hard to reach, so content will be replayed and is a tad bit more challenging as long as you have a mix of NQ/HQ.

DoW -> has it in his own hands to collect needed mats
DoL -> makes profit on MB
DoH -> craft (whats essentially all they would like to do)

This could be the beginning of a better game for all of us.
