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

[Rex]

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[/B]

OP....LOL.....

Let me remind everyone here that people participated in a PLAYER POLL during 1.0. Basically, they asked, and we answered. The game is just how we responded. Blame yourselves, not the company.

Also,

The game is still so very young. XI didn't have much in the beginning. There were only 6 starting jobs in XI. It wasn't until a year after release that they got new jobs. We started ARR with 8.

I've already given the OP too much attention though. Based off his/her storm stirring post, not much thought or research was put into this. A lot of this has been explained, like how Yoshi-P doesn't want the game to be based solely on leveling.

..and then I read:

I would also like to add that I am not saying in this statement that FFXI is hard, but rather there is a lot more to do and the gameplay is overall superior to FFXIV.

You're basically comparing the amount of content from an 11 year old game to a 5 month old game.

Were you around at the start of XI? Do you know how buggy it was? And do you even realize that all the content in that game now was not added all at once?

We all pretty much have a good idea of why FFXIV is failing and might potentially fail within a year or less.

These types of assumptions are my favorite. Can you tell me what the weather will be like on this day next year as well? I want to know if I'll need an umbrella or not.

Another useless thread.
