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

[Reyno]

It might be me, but isn't the fact that people have to argue about whether or not the game is worth playing or paying for or fun, kinda answering the question itself?

If it was a great game and still fun, you wouldn't even need to debate it. Even suggesting it was boring would have everyone just react with a "are you crazy?" response.

So unless everyone is 100% in agreement that something is good, it must be bad?

Do you even realize what you're saying? Have you ever interacted with another human being... like, ever?

I feel like I'm seeing more players all the time. If that means the game is a failure ... *shrug*

[Xairos]

its really weird ultimatum to say "im leaving because i want you to fix your game......." "my one voice and all my buddies will speak volumes on how this is too easy for us"

[Swishytail]

This thread in a nutshell is basically:

This game is too easy so I'm gonna go play a game that's too easy.
See you when 2.2 hits.

I'm out.

Final Fantasy XI, hard?



Even in the "glory days", Final Fantasy XI was never hard. It was a giant time sink. Time sink does not equal difficulty. Don't get me wrong, I loved the game, and it was one of my best MMO experiences -at the time-, but I'm not going to let nostalgia glasses sugarcoat what the game was.

I know I didn't say FFXI was hard...

Anything is essentially a giant timesink. That argument is becoming pointless as time goes on. I highly doubt just anyone would have ever considered having teams of 3-6 RDM sub DRK so that they could chainspell stun Dynamis Lord to prevent his AoE to be a working strategy (it was a concept that was never used before). To be honest, figuring out strategies to fights without any sort of clue to them is a lot more difficult of a task than simply following a pre-determined avoid-the-bad pattern. Just like anything difficult, once you figure it out, that difficulty is practically gone. I agree that a lot of FFXI was a timesink, but so is practically everything. ANYTHING in life can be seen as a timesink.

Fix the game? I'm confused. Is it broken?

You say: "I'm leaving"

I say: "Do it more quietly without the need for attention whoring. K fanks bi"
