How raids have hurt this game.

[Azurymber]

1. i said on -some- servers. some i noticed have a LOT more people than others. Also some are really jp heavy and others have very few.

2. they have been planning for the future for a year. At this rate by the time the future comes ff17 will be out and no one will be playing this.
If you can't fix -CORE- problems in a year but you have time to fix how pretty the action bar looks then you have a problem.

i can go on:
-Market wards fill up
-the whole "can only get skill points by doing leves in your nation" thing hasn't brought ppl back to the other 2 zones
-quests are nearly all text-based in a market of games with cutscene and voice acting heavy quests
-creating all the best gear as rare/ex stuff essentially makes crafting useless which in turn severely hurts gathering
-economy is still non existant with no real gil sinks and no chance for the future (any economist will tell you they can't gil-sink their way out of severe inflation).
-RMT are pretty well unregulated..
.... can go on and on and on. They can only fix -so- much. Most of these should have been fixed half a year ago and to assume they will just fix all this stuff in a few months is wishful thinking. These are all things that -shouldn't- be problems and will make the game seem fail if they still exist at ps3 release.
