Time to move on since Square Enix does not listen to its Constituents

well OP, if you played SWTOR then you know how badly BioWare Austin treats their subscribers and nickel and dimes the hell out of them all every moment they can. Fact is, there is always going to be something at some point a Studio will come up with and those who don't like it. The question is, how game breaking is the experience? and How long will it last?

There is also something called morals. SE still has them and treats their subscribers with some honor. Something I can truly say BioWare Austin/EA does not do. AT ALL! Not after the rise of the Cartel Coin in the TORtanic.

So,
With that, I say try Subscribing to something else. You'll find something equally wrong there too, eventually. But which wrong can you live with? CONTINUED next post

CONT... I draw the line at Mediocrity, lazy designers and developers that allow just "good enough" elements to grace their game worlds, and gouging/nickel and diming Subscribers where that becomes more important and crucial than your Subscriber base satisfaction. I would leave for things like that. But thats not FFXIV. So with that you should leave for the right reasons. Not short lived ones because you don't like how something in game works to increase your weapon iLEVEL. Because you'll only miss out if its a game you really like otherwise. I don't think you feel like you're being taken advantage of by the Studio, right?

CONT 2... As I've said, you have to draw the line somewhere. But one should make sure it's a worthwhile reason. Do you feel it's a worthwhile reason?

I mean leaving an MMO that you spent a lot of time time, money and energy in sucks. But.
Being a Star Wars universe fan all my life, and leaving SWTOR because of BioWare Austin/EA's idiocy was a difficult decision. They did it to themselves, and by the time beta came out it was far too late to do anything about it. The talent or lack of, and the road map was already in place. No matter what the fans did or said to help out. Now they can slowly sink like their sister ship did in 1912. I don't see all that in FFXIV. Maybe 1.0 but not ARR.

If FFXIVARR was anything like SWTOR then I would leave too.

Stuff.

Totally not on the topic of the post, but just edit your first post and you bypass the 1k character limit. Just thought I'd pop it up for ya.
