Just a rant from someone actually playing

[Anty]

I read a lot of very good posts with a lot of good suggestions so far in that forum. Much more then i expected and a lot more then in all other mmo forums i read so far.
There are always answers like "you flame- go home" or "oh you being a white knight" but honestly. WHO CARES.
Both answers are not worth anything to me and shouldnt matter to anyone else.

So far i really tried to be objective regarding my critics but sometimes i just feel like raging. why?
Ive seen so many good posts without flaming, just constructive and a lot of ideas- And ppl start flaming at these ppl, sometimes without even reading the posts it seems. Ive even seen ppl defending something, that wasnt even adressed in a post...

And please for a lot of people who didnt understand: Saying an opinion and give good reasons for it = critics, the game needs. So don't waste time on calling these ppl Flamers. Critics is the reason why this game is being changed. And i think/hope for the better.

Praising everything doesnt help either. Pointing out things you like defenitely does help. And even if you like something, perhaps you have an idea to even improve it?

It's the same about the new quests. A lot of people didnt like them for a lot of good reasons.
The standard answer to that i see is : "You wanted quests, now you have them: DONT COMPLAIN!!!"

The same people speak about ffxiv being so unique. The quests are not, they are at the same lvl as aion/rift/wow mini-quests, and acutally a little bit less creative even. so... why not complain? There were so many posts about quests, how ppl want them to be, nobody wrote i want mindless (kill 8 quests), and SE made exactly that. So if nobody complained about this, we would get more of the same mindless quests every month. Great.

And since ffxi came up again. Look at ffxi closely and then ffxiv, forget about the HD graphics then theres nothing left but ffxi with different optics and lacking content and almost no refreshing ideas, its just a bit tweaked. So let people compare the 2 games since if SE made them so different, nobody would compare it so often.

"This is FFXIV not FFXI" - well tbh i don't know what ffxiv is, and what will be, and i think nobody really does atm.
"This game is goin in the right direction" - what direction is that? the interviews point out that theres so much to be changed and we don't know much about content or endgame or how the class system will turn out to be in the end.
So... tell me what is the direction? The right direction they do is in communication. That is obvious imo. But the rest only time will tell.

and if you agree with a post just post "good post, or i agree" and if you don't agree, say WHY!!!!! Please!!! Nobody needs answers like "this is fucking BS".
