What XIV is and isn't

[SuMDRGMAN]

totally agree they would make a killing in sales

Point taken.
But isnt that in every MMORPG? :-)
You are what you want to be.
And everyone is a hero on its own unique way in real life :-)

Well right now "we're all just normal people" because we have no content right?, maybe given content some of us we feel like we're heroes.

And this is quoting anyone just a general reply. When I play FFIII or IV, i dont think "wow i did that", I kind of think "wow the group set up here, thats what did that" "my rdm was excellent", or "that blm rdm whm drk" set up kind of raped till the whm got hate :/, I still think of me as the brains but the party as pulling it off due to the jobs I had to choose. III more so I guess because you choose the jobs of the adventurers much like XI. I would like that back the feeling of "we accomplished this together", I do guildleves in groups, and the missions, I tried to get as many people as the mission allowed, but why? So the cutscene would only have the party leaders companion? The feeling at the end of guildleves or missions done with 2-3 people don't even give me the gorup feeling that FFIII did :/

What the heck dude? Why are you here and playing the game if you can't stand it? I mean really? What would someone continue to do something even when they don't like it, and complain about it all the while??? I really don't get people like you.
I can only hope new prospective players read my posts and understand that FFXIV's biggest problem isn't lack of content, or faulty battle mechanics (anymore). The biggest issue FFXIV has is people like you!

Granted you ARE entitled to your opinion as am I, however I truly believe the biggest problem I see with this game is the large decline in active players after SE's initial messup. However, the majority of the issues have been and are being addressed and in reality the only thing REALLY holding this game back is the lacking influx of fresh new players excited for a grand adventure. It is comments like yours Daisycutter that help prevent this from happening.

This game would be WONDERFUL in it's current state (albeit with much room for improvement, which is OK in my books) if only their were more people playing it...

There is a reason why people are upset. It's because this game was and still is a failure.

No. A failure is people who play a game and bi*ch and moan about how they don't like it. REALLY doesn't make sense to me...

There weren't any summons on launch of FFXI either. Summoner, and even DRG were expansions. It goes almost without saying that expansions will bring more of the classes we love back. We also know Chocobos are coming. They are working on it, so there is really no point in complaining. It's coming.

The thing about any mmorpg is any feature they add will result in people who love it, and people who complain. The difference is that the people who love it will be in game enjoying it, while the people who don't will be on the forums complaining. The problem is, the forums get so spammed with only the complainers, it gives the illusion that the entire community feels the same way.

Please understand that I'm not saying this about you, and even this situation since we can agree that FFXIV has a lot of flaws, but at the same time, I can say that I enjoy it. I can think what are my goals for today, what are my goals for tomorrow, how will I accomplish those goals, I can plan excursions, etc. I'm enjoying my time, and hopeful for future updates. We can't be mad at SE because we can't jump 40 feet in the air. Can you imagine everyone bouncing around like children.. It wouldn't be realistic, and it certainly wouldn't make people feel unique. FFXIV isn't just about sensual-ism, but realism as well. It's immersive, and I won't feel immersive if I'm hopping everywhere I go like a kangaroo.

If people didn't bitch and moan, this game wouldn't have progressed in any way and would still be that hunk of crap that it was a year ago.

[GreatLeviathan]

I agree. The game is nice the way it is already and it will only get better.

[GreatLeviathan]

indeed we don't want another cartoonish kidsgame like world of warcraft.
