Not a complaint thread

[Goodberry]

I have nothing against you people enjoying this game. More power to you. I only wish I could enjoy it as much. :P

Anyone else digging the game? I want to know why you all play. Hoping it won't turn into "For item X, that's all I want". Weapons and armor are a means to an end, so what's your end? Storyline, friends to chat with, crafting master, or mostly just looking forward to new content?

This thread is too happy, we need something to derail it.

Much of what is in many of those threads is far from constructive. Complaining about something isn't constructive, and that's what most of those threads are. Constructive would actually be offering a solution or change that could resolve the problem. Many posts are in very short supply of those kinds of suggestions.

This game is in effect a product SE are trying to sell.

If masses of people dislike something about it and give their feedback (complain), this provides SE with useful information to hopefully improve their product.

If nobody ever "complained" this game would be in a worse situation than it is now.

That's true, but there is also a very fine line between constructive criticism and outright complaining for the sake of complaining. Which sadly most of the so-called 'constructive criticism' threads turn out to be.

And yes, there are little things which can be definitely improved (and which the development team are slowly working through), but they don't detract from all the fun I'm having - I played FFXI for nearly a decade now, and if I could put up with it's many major faults for all that time, then the little niggly problems with ARR are nothing to me. I just love this game too much.

This game is how I hang out with my gf since we're long distance and as a lifelong ff fan it's perfect. It's the perfect blend of casual for her and hardcore for me and it's great to just do little things together every now and then.

I love how detailed the world is. And I'm addicted to crafting!
