Another "they quit" thread

ITT: People trying to justify 'statics' so they don't have to fail coil runs.

Weak sauce. The very idea of a static and the players are ruining FC's for them. Who needs lack of content, when the players can't manage themselves?

[Eisah]

The rest of us are just happy to try new things (or old content) with new people to see if we can't get everyone familiar with all the fights. It's a game, we're just here to have fun.

Sounds like a nice FC!

It's WoW with FF character models.

I never played WoW, but I can see this. The FF franchise has been going a different direction. Ever since FF7 became a hit it seems like.

I really hope this game does get fixed. I remember how exciting it was when I started FFXI, and I ended up sticking with it for 7 years. I have so many good memories of it.
I want so badly to enjoy this game. It just needs to get back to its FF origins and not the way of other series.
Maybe it's because I'm more connected with the classic games (FFV/FFVI), but the new set-up was very jarring for me and not what I wanted or expected in an FF game. FFXI still felt like an FF game to me. I loved it.

I scroll through my friend list sometimes to look for something to do and see a lot of "deleted" accounts, not knowing who it was, and where they went or why.

A deleted name is one of three things:
a) Transferred to another server.
b) requested the account be closed permanently
c) got banned

Out of those, A and C will be more than likely since most people who quit a game aren't going to take the time to call up SE and ask them to close the account. They will just stop playing.

If it was A then that person didn't quit, they just moved. If it was C than more than likely they were cheating in some way and that to me is better than them still playing.

Your C is incorrect. If you get banned, your character remains stored in purgatory. Your name will also be permanently locked for eternity, it will forever be locked down.

Totally agree with the OP 110% Endgame is something that should be enjoyed by all the members of your FC not just the select few!. The only way they can combat this is by open world content. Cramming everything that's good About endgame into an instanced 8 man set-up is just bollocks!. Yoshi P really needs to listen to the "Majority" of the fan base here and address the endgame. I understand he been limiting what we can loot because he didn't want us getting too far ahead of the new player base that will be starting on the PS4!. But for the life of me once it's released please stop these damn loot lockouts..(AND PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, STOP!!!..MAKING ALL ENDGAME SO LINEAR!.)

I don't know how this game became such a screw up!. All Yoshi had to do was make another FFXI but with less level grind. For me that was the only "Chore & grindy" part about XI. Everything else worked just fine, we had to WORK for our drops & when we got them we we're damn PROUD to wear them. The drops also had lastability.

I'm still sticking with this game I said to myself I'll give it a year to give it time. I'm a massive FF fan but at the moment it's hard to love this game, I'm really hoping for a Change of direction from this director, I'll keep my fingers and toes crossed!.

On Exodus, in my FC we went from 80 active members at peak times to 11-20. Two of our four coil groups are suffering attendance issues due to burn out and lack of interest as well as resentment and arguments that have broken out due to lack of progression frustrations.

The only thing keeping some of the more advanced players in my group going is trying to beat Titan EM which only 2 out of everyone in my FC has been able to do (and they were tanks). Can't pass turn 5 either. Not much left to do and people are getting frustrated or wnadering off for longer and longer periods of time.

I have a feeling that 2.2 will be gobbled up by the player base majority rather quickly, leaving them content starved yet again. It seems to be feast or famine with this game so far. I like the game still but it's tough to play without friends or quality players to get through end game content.

I have been playing on Exodus for year, and would say the population has steadily grown. Places like Limsa Lominsa and Mor Dohna seem packed. I have been playing MMOs since UO and all I see right now is exactly what you expect pre-Xpac. Why grind for anything right now? People take breaks Xpac launches expect an explosion, you will see people you have not seen in while.

coil lockouts per character PER JOB

veterans will be able to help newbies

newbies wont be left in the dust

you wont be outgearing anything since coil loot is distributed per JOB save for tanks and healers (which we need more of)

win-win scenario

problem solved!

I haven't been compelled to log on in a few weeks, mostly because I have more important things to do, but somehow I don't really miss it at this point. After clearing everything, and exploring the majority of what the game has to offer - including jumping into the mountain in coerthas and running around outside the map to explore, I'm simply waiting until new content is released. Right now the development team's STILL playing catch up. This game has amazing potential, and I can't wait to see it really bloom, but as it stands now, it's a bit stagnant for people playing since EA/Launch. And I don't see 2.2 bringing in enough content to keep us occupied long enough unless turns 6-10 will be full retard hard. - which could be fun for the 1% but everyone else will be upset and probably ragequit. I really wish CT was released first like it was designed to, along side BC. 4-5 bosses just doesn't feel like enough. We'll see moving forward though!
