Will you quit if this game becomes raid-centric?

People seem to easily mistake tediousness with challenging and convinience for easy.
Waiting through a 3 hour window for once per 24 hour monster is not challenging, it is tedious. Spending 3 hours killing birds for a single level is not challenng, it is tedious. Being required to get 3 other people to stand are pressure switches so you can open a chest on the other side of a door is not challenging. Like I said, a huge majority of people that complain about the new FFXI are people that spent a ton of time doing tedious things for their, now out-dates, gear, and they are just upset to see people optain better gear in a more fun and enjoyable way. You can't deny it.

Also, you are just assuming that "a lot of players" have a problem with the recent FFXI changes. Several posts from old elitist players on a message board does not make "a lot of people". You have no actual polls or numbers to back up your claim.

while i agree waiting 3hours for nm's is horrid, this game has already started implementing horrid things, i haven't even seen it yet but they got some kinda behest like thing out there to fight i think ixia? but it pops not very often and lol if wanted to really do it would have to camp it? lol ...camp...to do something uselss that gives u ...nothing. ..i don't get this implement at all outside of it being a taste of something bigger and not want to bore us already with it.

spending 3hours killing birds,or imps, or any multitude of mobs over and over is way better then things that involve just running around and staring at virtual tree's and flowers inbetwee kills, talking to npc's and waiting for people to restart leves or what ever else. while i agree not really challenging, they "Can" make it more challenging, while it is the same mob ...they "Could" make it diff mobs.

also yes people in ffxi spent lots of time gearing themselves, so what if u got the time u got the time, in reality what se devs were saying was that it should of took 5+ years to get something that good in game not a year or 2, or months like some. or that not everyone is supposed to have the same gears. i can deny what u'r saying, while we are all here to have fun, our ideas of fun are different, but ffxi went one route that had 100k's of players yes? it is expected that this game would of followed some form of that game.

i hear ffxi is empty now, i don't know for sure, dont' need to know for sure, i just know i'm not there and i know my old linkshells aren't still up so anyone else that is left is just holding onto a dream or they were the people who felt like they was on the sidelines an finally got a huge change for them.

mmo's are tedious, if u don't want tedious gamefly same price a month u can play a diff game every week lol, i've yet to play a mmo that isn't tedious but ffxi was very challenging on top of that, and that is where most people have the problem ...it isn't the tediousness, it was the acuall challenging parts. this game might not even have cop type missions cause years later too many people complain bout the best part of ffxi.. not only that but i bet when all is said and done no matter what your enjoyments are in mmo's, we will see that this game will just be missing something that ffxi had and that u want and miss, and if u hated ffxi lol, stop trying to change the series, i'm sure wow2 is on it's way, i hope they take all of ffxi gameplay and put it in that lol.
