Another "they quit" thread

Yoshi's whole idea is to not have a gap between casuals and hardcores. With token systems if a casual misses a week or don't cap (Hence being casual) they will always have to play catch up. Having to wait 3-6 months until they remove cap so people can catch up is the same thing as having a gap between someone who can farm and someone who can't. If someone invests more time into something why is it that they can't be rewarded? Gaming is some people's hobbies, usually when you spend a lot of time with a hobby you have something to show for it. Why is it expected to be any different here?

When I spoke about running things I meant coil, since that's where the problem seems to come in and you can't duty roulette with people, it's a solo thing.

I've just resubbed yesterday after long hiatus. The one thing that I noticed is Quarrymill pops that it was used to be brimming with people 24/7, now I barely see a group of people standing by on their mount at town to grind fates. My FC, which was pretty big (250+ member-ish) seems to be dying, only 6 or 7 online persons. Probably they switched to another game, or w/e, you know Titanfall, TESO, Diablo 3 expansion (idk if people playing still this), Archeage, Wildstar, and not sure if Blade and Soul (JP) gonna affect my JP server

While I tried to unlock Crystal Tower, which need FATE quests, I had to do 3/4 of those FATEs solo with my mount because there's just none's around, oh well im lucky my mount is healer so I could finish them fine.

I joined another FC, small one 20-ish but at least most of them are active.

I'm feeling it too. My FC of 5 players is now down to 3 mainly with 2 only logging for mainly coil.

I'm just waiting for the live letter at this point. I hope they plan to make improvements to the loot system in 6-9 otherwise I don't see myself sticking around. I'm not interested in another 7 months of farming 6-9 and never seeing the items I need drop. Just endless mnk/drg loot.

lol - I can second the RNG on DRG loot! I went 5 weeks of 1-4 clears without seeing a single iota of MNK loot though - just bad luck!

Don't forget at least 100k accounts belong to gil farmers, or at least it seems that way.

Also people paying for that sub stuff , I know lots of people that paid for 6 months for the eye mount ect. That stopped playing 2 months in... With a sub game in wich you can pay for in advance numbers won't really be accurate till it's to late if you only count by subs. Numbers on there end will just tAke a dump and they will be like.... Oh em geeeee who knew!?!?

As a guild leader I agree with most the issues coming up.

The content as it is designed is just a nightmare for anyone trying to run a guild.

Members log on less and less the futher it gets into a patch, Fri/Sat/Sun are the lowest attendance days of a week. AND THIS IS NOT OK... it is a failure to allow this to happen. IT was an issue in WoW as well... for many it is was one of the big issues. This is a MMO you should NEVER run out of content to do. IF you do it is 100% the devs fault for not doing what we paid them to do. This is a sub game it is fair to demand a never ending game. Not one that ends after 4hrs every monday.

Every week I am forced to figure out how to make groups run with varied play schedules. What to do with left overs (people who are forced to pug). And how to plan things that are not coil due to the varied play schedule. And how to get people in the guild to play together as much as possible, which coil 100% prevents.

So more or less I am forced to decide what members of my guild I screw over each week and how I have to organize 3-5 groups of exactly 8 people into the exact time frame... it is hellish and about as far away from fun as you can possibly get.... Thanks for that SE, I get more gray hair over running my guild in this game then I do during busy season working as an accountant.



The content in this game currently fails as a mmo. I agree this is more of a co-op rpg then it is a mmo. Especially at endgame.

You don't pay them to make content. You pay them to play THEIR game. They can, at any given time, decide if they want to add new content or just shut down the game and guess what, you have 0 say in the decisions. The only thing you can do is influence what they do. Obviously they don't want their game to crash and burn without at least making some profit so what do you do? You listen to the customers who offer suggestions/feedback on what should be implemented and then they decide if it's worth their time to implement it.

Completely agree - as a guild leader of 3 years now. The current set up is highly antisocial unless you are part of a static. Thing is, once a static forms, it runs coil and all end-game together, freezing others out. It locks groups of players away from the rest of the FC. It's a horrible, horrible mechanism. Everything else is PUGable, or solo. There is very little in this game to bring people together for the sake of being together.
