Another "they quit" thread

[Bosaif]

Can't agree more! it happens with many FCs/LSs! and as you mentioned the community in FFXI was something you wish it comes back! i'm playing with a group of people that were togather during FFXI and some of them I know since 2004~2005 even though we live apart far from each other.

I hope it gets sorted somehow, I have a strong faith on Yoshi-sama!

Here is still no comment of the devs If they will fix this? Or even planned to do something?

If you have 1 successful group and have it on farm status you can cycle in the people who are having problems with it each week and take different people in your FC until you cleared it with everyone. The you go problem solved.

I suggested that to the first static in my FC, and got a very hostile response. Very hostile. Considering I am the FC leader, that was not an entirely positive thing. So tread carefully.

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..

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.

You asking SE to fix the behavior of your guildmates? Oh, my...
As a FC leader, if someone don't behave as the FC guidelines are, it will be kicked, even if he is the best player of the planet. If you permit some behavior, it means you agree with it.

i dont get it... its the same in every mmo, even in wow there is a 10man raid and if you have farm on it then rotate. whats the problem? right now you are blaming the game for having such unfriendly members. meh

Sadly my FC got a static but so far everytime i ask if anyone of them want to come to do First Coil Turn 1 or Titan EX with me no responses but if it is a dungeon or HMs trials, the whole FC came alive. The problem here in my opinion is that the endgame raids and trials are just too damn hard on the new players which make it hard to PUG or rotate. The FC static who had Garuda EX on farm status before 2.2 decided to help out 4 new FC members including me to clear it for the first time and we barely cleared it thanks for the echo buff.

That or they just avoid me because i am a horrible tank *sob*

Reasons as to why I have quit the game. This is just my opinion, I know most would disagree.
1. The storyline and characters after Gaius was defeated has been very weak. The ending we just had would have been great if I'd have cared for any of the characters but didn't.
2. SE lack of action against cheats, and no action to stop all the spam we get from gil sellers. It feels as though they do nothing with this, there are so many ways to stop the gil sellers, or just slow them down but we get them 100s of times a day now. SE also does nothing about the use of GW, extremely annoying when it comes to hunts. - That being said, if they could take a few things from GW and let players officially use them that would be great.
3. We don't get rewards for getting stuff done. I don't want to do primals 100's of times to get all the mounts, we beat it once we should have it. Instead they make you do the same battles over and over, and face it, once you've beaten them they're no longer fun.

4. The battles don't feel like battles. It feels more like a puzzle game, having to stand in certain places in every single one. I feel like I have to go into bot mode. There's no freedom, and none of it is reactive because the big battles all have a set routine making it too easy.
5.Too much is down to luck. I spent hours and hour saving my gil, then to buy my gathering gear, then to spend countless hours levelling my classes. My gathering and perception is impossible to be any higher and more than enough to catch certain fish, I then spend ages waiting on the correct weather, then more time fishing only to catch nothing. If that isn't a waste of my life I don't know what is.
6. The Golden Saucer is the biggest disappointment of all. I thought this could have been made so much better, there is nothing fun to it what so ever. I think it's pathetic you can't use cards you obtain,you have to level up card playing, how much of a waste is that! As for chocobo racing don't get me started.

7. Life is spent in queues or waiting in Party Finder. Sure enough I could have found statics but I can't predict other peoples lives. But I've lost count of the hours I've spent waiting to do stuff on that game.As someone who enjoyed pvp most of all it was agony.
8. One guy told me he done the same dungeon over 70 times for part of his relic quest. This is cruel by SE. We're forced to do the same things over and over and over. That's over a day of his life gone. The part that had me feeling sorry for him was he was proud of how much he'd got done on the game, the gil he'd made, the fact he had everything upto level 50. He was actually bragging (in a nice and proud way) but that was probably the moment when I realised I needed to get the hell away from FFXIV.
