I enjoy the direction this game is going

One of the biggest problems with open world content for this game is the travel time and camp time...Right now, I love being able to get something meaningful accomplished in a 45 minute place session.

I think FCs in particular would enjoy having content that takes more than 45 minutes to complete. I know mine would. And we aren't elitist by any means. We just want something fun to do together.

Ideally I would like to have both... I have about an HR a day during the week if I'm inclined to play so doing a quick run of something is fine...

During the weekend when I have more time, id like to be able to sink my teeth into something aside from coil/grinding.

If SE does not want to add a lil something something for ppl like me, then fine, I will just un-sub; no harm, no foul, its' not that serious.

Well, back to updating XI.

Looks like they're still getting your money.

Most FCs would like that, but what they wouldn't like is having that content take over 45 minutes to complete only because most of the time is spent traveling or staring at your screen waiting for a mob to pop. Yet most of the complaints here want "content" like that added.

Nothing gets past you detective; As I stated, it is not that serious, this is not personal. If they make a game I like, I will play it, damn ppl.

What a very large portion of the playerbase is saying is that FFXIV has a horrible game direction for both casual and hardcore players combined. This game tries to cater to everyone but in reality, it caters to nobody at all. If this game is going to use the WoW model then it needs to actually follow that model for all of the endgame content and stop making lackluster garbage that pleases nobody.

The general population is happy where the direction the game is heads but the hardcore players are upset. The reality is games stopped being hardcore after the Playstation 2 era and ever since they have become more casual friendly.

It seems to cater quite well to people who work 40 hours a week or are full-time students (like me).

Thanks to the way the game has been structured I (along with several student/working friends) have not been left behind. I know it sounds sort of selfish to say that everything is fine because it helps us but I just wanted to prove that this structure does help quite a few people. I'm sure a lot of full-time students and workers feel the same way.

There are people complaining that this game needs more open world exploration and dangerous mobs that drop epic gear with a 0.05% but they need to stop trying to ruin the game for the general population by adding this elitist garbage when they know they'll leave and move on to the next game.

Can you point to anyone who actually said they want mobs that drop "epic gear" with a .05% drop rate or anything at all that comes close to that, or are you just using hyperbole to try and get a point across?

That type of rng content causes the general population to quit in masses

Exaggeration and lies, you made your post useless.

Find and single post asking for epic gear with 0.5% drop rates, and i'm not talking about sarcasm or ppl exaggerating others demands (most ppl exaggerating says 1% so i think you're overexaggerating, and that's even worse)
Oh and i want open world content, but i'm not an elitist, i killed titan HM more than 100 times just to help random ppl, i think you're wrong again.
Leave and move, hmmmm, no, now if the first expansion comes with the same instanced shit and useless open world then you will see masses of players leaving. I'm staying for a year, just because i want to see if this game will get better, i keep paying even if i only play 1h a day, so tell me, who's more loyal to the game? players like me wanting to improve a game or players that will leave in hordes if they see an NM that takes more than 5 min to respawn or a boss fight they can't memorize for an easy win?

And let me tell you something, this is a final fantasy, that's why we are fighting, the only final fantasy online that can be saved (yes, they destroyed ffxi, we have no home now) get used to these threads because we will keep fighting for this game, and they day we stop trying to change this game it will flop and go f2p.

take a look at the real numbers, the game is losing players, a lot and fast, we are getting new players just because the game is new but that's all, some even leave having 6 months paid, as i said, wait for the first year.
