Remember the arguments during beta?

Fixed by putting into perspective.

Very smart move by SE doing this. For obvious reasons with ESO beta weekend.

oh btw:
We wanted a kick, we got a kick.
we wanted a sort button, we got a sort button.
we wanted a hairdresser etc.

So no, they don't listen:P And if you mean they didnt add 1000s new quests, hundreds more overworld encounters. 10s of new dungeons. Then you need a reality check.

Rein your ego in a second and ask when I ever said anything about adding tons of content. Did I do so? Did I complain at all about dungeons or quests? No. Every complaint I've made about the current state of the game has been in regards to crafting classes and the economy, and my post did not indicate anything different. Also, I believe Wil Wheaton said it best..."don't be a dick."

You stated they dont listen to the playerbase and what they ask for, I showed you examples of where they have. If you meant, they didn't listen to what you said and implemented it, you should have made that more clear. Also it takes time, they could have easily seen the suggestions about the economy and craftning/harvesting classes and taking what works on board for later updates. Just because they havn't added something now doesn't mean that they aren't working on it or talking about it.

If you said they should be more transparent with their overall roadmap of ARR for maybe the coming year, giving out more info of how they will improve the economy, value of crafting etc and other content. Then I would agree 110%.

Snip.

I will have to disagree. The devs are still actively taking our ideas and putting them in the game. The increase of penalty for leaving a duty was increased from 15 to 30 mins, something that was asked in these forums. The implemation of the in server party finder. The decrease cost of FC Housing. So yeah they are still listening.

Who cares if they left ?

SE does a free weekend to show 2.1 off to people who didn't subscribe again, WoW does this all the time, it's called marketing strategy.

They left because they don't like the game point.

People don't like a game they stop playing it, it's totally normal.

And Alipo, your whining and whatnot won't move SE an inch.
You don't like to get Achievements?, don't like to level all jobs?, don't like to level all crafts?, don't want to wait for the story to continue?, don't have fun playing the game?

Then yeah, try another game, there is no use paying for a game where you're getting bored imo.
Same goes for everyone, pay only if you like the game.

What I can't stand is people making 26748718 posts & threads about others leaving because of X reason and how they'll also leave blah blah blah.

Don't wanna play? Go, don't come to the forums to nag about it.

This post needs more likes.

Could you define diehard FF fan?

I've played all the single player ones to max completion (except XIII, cause it's garbage) and I happened to like WoW MORE than FFXI.

Why is it so called "diehard" FF fans want a remake of the old stuff? Whether it's VII or XI they want the same old trash.

This is my new MMO and I don't want it more grindy. More grind isn't tougher difficulty. Tougher difficulty is tougher difficulty. This game is fun and different. Why is that so bad?

Could you explain what is different about this game compared to other MMO's?

A mildly innovative crafting system that gets easier as you level your crafting classes, which I'm not going to knock it for, it makes sense in a way, but this gets thrown out in the end because it doesn't fit the developers' vision for the game. Other than that, not a damn thing. Everything else is just a copy of other mmo mechanics with a FF spin on them, and even then it was handled pretty poorly.

A mildly innovative crafting system -Snip-Other than that, not a damn thing.

Well thanks for the response, was just curious as to what others thought. I sort of expected an answer like this. Played a bunch of MMO's for quite a few years now and the only things that stand out to me are all job/classes on one character and the crafting system.

However it doesn't make much sense to have a crafting system which doesn't feel like it was worth the time and effort to level in the first place when you notice all the gear you craft is almost identical to gear you can buy from vendors. Gearing isn't an issue anyways until 50 and once your 50 it's far easier and arguably better to just go with darklight over crafted. the only real benefit then would be food and potions which both don't feel like they are worth the effort for the minimal boost they provide.

As far as the all classes one character thing goes they did that in FFXI so nothing new, and the restrictions placed on your character make it better to just have alts, since they have separate lockouts.

casuals play for a bit now there leaveing the casual game not a surprise to me. SE dug there own hole.
