My FC is going back to FFXI... FFXIV FAIL

[Swishytail]

1. gearing up is too easy (phil, myth, etc.)
2. horrible economy
3. leveling up is too easy
4. the job/class system is a joke
5. you only need to play 2 days a week to get everything accomplished.
6. PvP wtf?
7. ...oh wait didnt I say a few? my bad I'll stop now lol

1. XI is now the same way. Can fully gear in almost no time.
2. Nothing different here. Solo Dynamis and make 2M gil/day and buy everything.
3. You can get from 1-99 in literally 12 hours, maybe less, by AFKing.
4. This one I can't argue per se, but have fun being ANYTHING/DNC because that's all everyone is.
5. I went back and got level 99 + gear in 4 days.
6. While I enjoyed XI PvP, I don't even know if anyone does it anymore at this point.

The point is, you are going to find XI is now very similar to what this game is.
And frequent patches? You mean that expansion that just came out after 5
years? I played XI for 7 years. Don't get me wrong, the level 75 cap glory days
still stand as my all time favorite MMO time ever, the game was brilliant.

But XI is pretty much all but dead now, and it's incredibly Hello Kitty easy and
takes no time to get anything done anymore. You can literally solo the entire
game as BST/Anything or Anything/DNC.

Basically you:

Solo to level 15 > Gusgen Mines lolalliancesmashkeyboard to 30 > Abyssea AFK until 99 while getting the equivalent of
tomes in XIV more lolalliancesmashkeyboard > Buy full set of 99 gear > Solo all end-game content.

It's sad, but that's how it is now. Dynamis? Solo. Sky, Sea, Limbus? Solo. This item costs 10M? Np, can make that
in 3-4 days. I hate that this is what XI turned into.

And just so nobody says "Lol you prolly didn't even play and you are making it up" here's my ffxiah:

I accomplished all that in 3 weeks playing casual.

Anyone that thinks this game is easy obviously have'nt Duty Find hard content.

that doesn't mean the game is hard. it just means duty finder players are really bad.

that doesn't mean the game is hard. it just means duty finder players are really bad.

But that's what makes this game hard though.

These casuals don't even know what Old E looks like

AMEN! Back in my day, we used to buy 40s by the case. 20 40ozs cost $20. Then we would duck tape them to our hands and play Edward 40hands. These casuals have no idea how us hardcore 40 drinkers used to do it. Except instead of leet gear, I have irreversible liver damage. GET ON MY LEVEL!

Funny thing is much about what you wrote can be applied to FFXI to an even greater scale. FFXI was a great game...but it doesn't sound like it would be the game you're looking for in the present. Honestly though, why write you're going leave? I doubt anyone here really cares if you leave or stay.

Actually, I don't care what the players think about my post or us playing FFXI. I am hoping that if SE and the developers see enough posts like this they will fix the damn game. We are playing FFXI for many reasons and we do realize it was made much easier.

They won't "fix" the game. It caters to a different kind of players. If you think it's shit, that's fine. But don't say it like it's an ultimatum. I have plenty of friends who think it's shit and are playing XI. I for one enjoy XIV. Been playing it since 1.0 and continue to. It's all a matter of tastes. Asking them to fix this game is like asking them to fix rock music because you don't like it.

What you may call "needs to be fixed" others see as ok or great in their book. Just because you and your FC don't like the way this game is coming along doesn't mean it failed, just means it wasn't for you, which is too bad (i guess) and i hope FFXI will be more of the game you're looking for (which i highly doubt since it's basically the same exact thing now).
