Fix your game

Gold sellers can be mitigated by making rewards gained through play much better. People play a game for challenging interesting gameplay and storylines not because they get X gill for killing a mushroom.
Duty waits can be eradicated by making all content soloable via difficulty scaling. Scale the rewards to the difficulty too, so you havecthe choice of small rewards for doing it on your own or waiting for larger groups and more challenging dungeons for better rewards.

Appreciate the feedback.

I have played or given all MMo's a chance, I guess I have high expectations and expect newer MMO's to to get better with dealing with issues of past mmo's. I know games like Everquest II have done away with gold sellers, you get the messages but they are filtered by a spam filter hidden away.

I expect an mmo to give the player more than one way to achieve a goal than "You must do this in order to achieve the goal eg. in order to use a mount" and force a player to wait on others in order to progress especially as a new player. - At least older mmo's have a solo player version of the dungeon in order to progress.

I have not played the game long enough but I have a feeling all items in the game are cookie cutter "Only a certain amount of items per class" which the player is forced to wear per level in order to bring your stats to a useable level.

and lol EQ 2 have far from done away with Gold sellers and like stated before just /busy and done no messages from Goldseller ( or anyone else for that matter) they did bring a "Party Finder" into the game and not only the "Duty Finder" there is also the thing Joining a Free company or a linkshell that CAN assist you. so the waiting for other players is on nobody but yourself because you are not taking the steps to make the game happen.. SE isnt to blame the Community isnt to blame you are for being to lazy to interact with others.

... Joining a Free company or a linkshell that CAN assist you. so the waiting for other players is on nobody but yourself because you are not taking the steps to make the game happen..

Well, even running dungeons with a linkshell or FC group, you'll still likely have to wait a while to get the group together. When you ask your FC "can anyone help me run <X>" , there are likely to be people who answer, "Well, I'm in the middle of <Y> right now, but as soon as I finish this, I'll do it with you." Getting several people's schedules to sync up so they can start something together can take a while, regardless of whether you're finding those other people through talking with your FC, through Party Finder, or through Duty Finder.

SE has done what they can for this. It's the reason why Duty Roulette was added to the game - to provide incentives for people to keep running these story mode dungeons through DF, so that when it needs to find other people to fill out your group for you, it can. Even with incentives, though, it can still take a while.

I think they need a better way to report RMT. Just have a report option for when you select their name in the chat window that also logs their text in the chat window and the GMs can quickly check the chat and take appropriate action.

Eh..... 2/10. Not a lot of original troll content here.

Four reasons why I want a MMO to be like a single player RPG.
.

MMO staples
RMT Spam
Waiting for a group if you are DPS
Having to level up to unlock faster travel methods - you are fortunate it is only level 20ish.
Fetch quests. Not mandatory but put in games because the new gen of players whined non-stop about grinding for XP.

Fixed that for you.

Grooooooaaaaaaannnnn.

If FFXIV isn't your cup'o'tea, fine. Great. Peachy-cream. But bein' snarky at other players in it's community about things you see as faults which others might not, and doing nothing but complain on every other comment you make on the new player forum is just ... uhhhg. Can't you ... just ... go to reddit or something? They love a good complain-train there.
