I must say

Actually as long as you have an enemy targeted, your weapon is out and you're able to select actions off your action bar you should auto-attack. A little sword icon pops up near the enemy name/health thing when you're able to auto-attack and your character will do so automatically when within range.

Not quite... There's two positions for the sword icon. One is above the enemy's name, and the other is on the same line as the enemy's name. When it's on the same line, then you've got auto-attack on. And I think the enemy name's color changes a bit when you have auto-attacking going. I'm not certain, though, I'm terrible with colors. Auto-attacking could still probably be made easier. Like just right clicking to initiate it.

But what about those with gamepads or strictly keyboard users? The system is fine as it is I feel, you just have to get used to it. I dunno, I've just not had much trouble with it once I understood the quirks. If they can make it easier for all control methods that's fine but otherwise the current is easy to use.

I do. We shouldn't act like what we have right now is fine however. We need to make them work harder, not think it's all fine and dandy.

Our opinion does matter more-so than it did last September.

the devs arnt gonna stop working just because people are posting that the game is playable now and better then it was a year ago. They are on a set course. If anything telling them the game is getting better will make them work harder because they will know they are doing a good job. so like i said before, it kinda sounds like you have no idea what your talking about. You could easily argue that i dont know what im taking about, I dont really care.

I would say that with Yoshi working 18 hour days, most are probably working as hard as they can. But thats just me.

The game is "playable" now, but it is far from any MMO, including FFXI.

Just a point: There are 7 jobs, the rest are craft/gathering.

XI launched with only 6 jobs

Welcome back returning people! I too stopped playing, only logging in after major updates waiting for the day grouping actually meant something. After 1.18 I have rebuilt my LS and remade my character better in like 2 weeks, where as solo it took me from CE launch to end of Nov to get where I was b4.

Definately tons of fun and I even brought a few friends from XI to XIV!

I did something similar. I had been playing with the same character I made on the CE before 1.18 came out. When 1.18 was released I made a new character just to see what has changed; like you said, it's a lot easier to lvl up now. It's crazy how so many things changed.
