Simplicity over complexity, time to change.

[QUOTE=Zantetsuken;2311099]I have to disagree with that last line. We haven't even been given any promises (empty or otherwise) on a change of direction. Have you seen anything in the live letters/blogs/interviews/etc that indicates a move towards a more authentic fantasy world?

I try to cut them some slack because they had to rebuild and balance a MMO in record time, but the whole themepark/treadmill plan at this point seems to be the long-term goal of the designers rather than a mere stop-gap.

This is what I meant by empty promises - something you said in a earlier post. "So many left XI and migrated to 1.0 -- we were disappointed with its flaws but we stuck with it and began to see the game we were looking for in 1.23.

Then ARR happened and SE pulled the rug out from under us a second time."
