Congratulations original poster for validating my coining the word 'Fantard'.

Why are people insulting the OP? To what end? Do you think it adds to the dialogue or reflects well on the community?

If you disagree, please share... if you agree please share... but many of the one liners and insults are by people that would like to consider themselves better than the average forum poster in "that other" game (WoW of course)...

Well I would like to invite you to consider just how much better you are before you hit the "post" button on your one liner, insult, or "witty" jpeg image. That kind of posting certainly didn't help 1.0 fare very well.

SE wants this game to be casual. The problem is that if they make hardcore content at all in this game, the game will no longer be a casual game. Reason why is because if there are items that exist that are impossible to get as a casual player then the game is no longer casual. This is why most items are easy to get compared to FFXI in its golden age.

C'mon dawg, FFXI died when they released abyssea.

Oh good one. You really know how to make a convincing argument. lol not.

Most likely "wtf is it doing in a FF game". Though XI had ballista.

Which was quite fun if you ask me, Ballista anyways. Personally I think they should have made battleground style pvp areas you can queue to join as well not just serious business arena type pvp.

To the Op and his fc:
Though I am sorry you didn't find what you were hoping for in ffxiv ( i too am disappointed sometimes) I am however glad you took the time to come try it out. Though many a friend did show up for ARR I had a great deal of difficulty convincing ls members to come try FFXIV out at all. I would like to play both games to be honest I just can't afford the 4 subs needed for it (me and my hubbys xi/xiv accounts) to do so. In any case I hope you all enjoy your time in Seekers as i did and use some of the horrible party mess of here to include people for fracture wins (as towards the end of my time last in xi it was almost impossible to join said runs unless you already won them prior too or could pay for it. ) To make things more enjoyable for those who would rather spend time in Vana'diel then Erozea -Kyri of CarbuncleXI/BalmungXIV/Kiriah of Diablos-

ffxi had its flaws, played back in the chains of promethia days, when easy prey could kill you at high levels. Camping that peacock charm for days upon days for nothing. Yea that was fun alright. Trying to level a dps class took 10 hours of waiting in jeuno. The only thing that FFXI did well was the itemization, you had a lot of different choices of gear, that wasnt based on ilvl. Items like sniper rings, peacock charm, lizzy boots, those things could still be viable end game. Now everything is brainless, ohh its higher ilvl ok equip that. What happened to the customization, give us the uniqueness of items back. The problem with the items in 14 is that everything is based on stats, what about adding special bonuses to certain skills. +100 potency to cure, accessory, for example would make things interesting, essentially sacrificing stats for a bonus on a skill. Even i could make more interesting items than these Devs.

version one had the special gear stats like FFXI(enhancing, addtional effect), then SE wanted WOW stats, people in beta said its better to have numbers only now the game is stuck with trash gear.
