Despite its flaws, i like this game a lot

[kaboro]

I was annoyed the first few hours i played this game, but it grew on me and now im a fan.
Its true this game does not have what other MMOs on the market have, but it does have qualities that no other MMO out there has, I would hate to see FFXIV turned into "just another mmo" like xi was.
As it stands, FFXIV offers a unique experience, there is no mmo on the market that even comes close.
If you want a standard mmo experience like...group all the time, join a guild, power level to do "end game" antics and talk stupidities in world chat, then why not play a standard mmo? The market is literally flooded with them.
This game dares to be different and i respect that, sure its flawed, has many problems but its still the most unique mmo out there, i hope it stays that way, but im not holding my breath.

XI is niche.

XIV is also in the niche market, being that the game is currently targeted to masochist.

What is this "unique experience"? is it "Play this game if you want to get numbers up and dont do anything interesting with them!"

Tell me if you still feel this way after playing for 3months+

I've been playing since Alpha without getting frustrated and leaving the game for months, and I still enjoy it, yes it needs fixing and more content but it's not an awful game.

So if the OP is serious (which these days its hard to tell on these forums) I kinda agree with what he is saying. It isn't like a lot of MMOs out there and yes its a niche market. Obviously in some ways it's going to be like other MMO's, but it doesn't have to be a clone like so many are these days.

And your highest class is alchemy 41 and Arc 36? What are you doing when you log on? Have you found some secret fun thing to do? Are you counting rocks or trying to get /hug everyone achievement?

If you haven't noticed, I do level every class... also sorry I don't play every single day 24/7, I am casual/mid-core. I also do a run every week for about 5 hours a day taking members of my shell out to kill the lower level 25/35 NM's to help members in my shell gather gear, which I don't get SP for. I also tend to gather my own crafting supplies which sometimes requires me to go into lower level areas and farm things that get me 5-60 SP a kill or when I gather since Im not big on people trying to overprice everything. I played 11 so I have the mindset that its better to save gil and put a little effort into getting your own supplies then to pay inflated prices and waste gil.

Also I do have a job and a RL to interact with as well. So if you want to tease my ranks and what I do with MY time in the game then why don't you tell people how long you have been playing and how many jobs you have ranked up? What do YOU do when you play?

If by unique you mean incomplete then yes i agree.

Took me till your 7th post to catch on, but nice trolling.

It aint bad, but lack of content will make it wear on ya before you get to cap.
