How raids have hurt this game.

I'm sorry but you do. All of the threads you started over at the Core were the same way. Maybe you just don't see it?

you can't base my reputation on here based on what i said at the core. Theres a reason i was biased at the core and it was because it was full of white knights claiming the game is perfect and had no flaws. Look at my thread history on here, a lot of them are constructive.

And the truth comes out. Nothing more to say. lol

Two wrongs don't make a fair and balanced thread, your opinion just doesn't stack up, and you make up for it with lies.

Raids haven't killed off leves, leves were supposed to be taking a back seat. And I'm sure behests were destined for that too once the empire starts coming over.

being biased isnt wrong. nothing i posted was trolling except the 2 april fools jokes (and it was april 1st so give me a break).
I posted:
the economy would fail
there would be a move to raids and rare/ex gear
as such crafting + gathering would be diminished

At the time crafting and gathering were supposed to still be main jobs. my predictions came true, they are now side jobs, and we now have most of our "best" gear as rare/ex.

Almost everything i negatively posted about has come true or is still true... So i think most of my "criticism" threads were justified.

Does that mean the game is bad? no. It just means its significantly strayed from its original intentions. I would now argue FFXIV has -nothing- overly unique to it other than pretty graphics. That -IS- a problem, since this year it will have to compete with tera, Diablo III, and starwars. So far tera and starwars -BETAS- seem to have gotten significantly better reviews than this game would manage to pull off.. Thats a bit scary.

sorry i meant within the next year with 1.18 being the "relaunch" base of the game. star wars prob will either be out at christmas or in 2012 as well. teras march 2012 probably.

so this game basically has 6-12 months to define itself -again-. I'm really hoping it manages to. raids seem promising.

Even now you are pulling claims out of your box of lies, damn lies, and statistics. Your fearmongering of other game shas nothing to do with raid system of this game, both of which have not been fully completed. Unless one of those games bring down WoW, and I mean bring it to Warhammer 40k numbers, I'm not convinced they're the zomg threat you make them out to be.

DoH is not a side job, nor do the devs intend it to be. The upcoming materia system's intention is to strengthen crafted gear, and there will always be a want for HQ that raids are not known for providing.

So by all means, quake in your boots, perhaps Professor Layton will be the next thing to haunt your dreams.
