ffxiv everything designed wrong about this game

There is actually something that does bug me.

If each expansion just does dungeons that isn't something new and refreshing, expansions are supposed to introduce new types of things to do.
Look at FFXI then zilart then COP each expansion brought something new to the table.

I am waiting for the release of expansion because I am really sick of dungeons, want gear dungeon, want story dungeon, want to make your weapon dungeon.
I understand they had burn circles in FFXI but at least there was some variety.

After a while too much of the same thing can burn you out.

Everything doesn't need to revolve around dungeons that aspect needs to change.

I don't know if the system OP suggests is better, but I definitely agree the class/job system in this game is a mess and should be remade completely. I doubt it ever will be, but it is quite funny how they more or less scrapped everything from 1.0 (with good reason), but decided to keep one with such a large impact on the game even though it was as bad as it was/is. Yoshi P has done a lot of good (albeit not all to my tastes), but keeping the class/job system was one of the biggest mistakes.

but keeping the class/job system was one of the biggest mistakes.

In retrospect it is, but they clearly had ideas for it that ended up getting scrapped in the long haul as shown by the SMN/SCH split and the way WAR and PLD are set up.
It's a shame, but if I had a penny for every idea from an MMO that seemed like a cool idea at the time but ended up hurting the game in the long run, I'd never need to worry about paying for a sub on any game I play ever again.

On, I kinda feel like you were designed wrong.

Of all the things wrong with this game, you pick a very specific and odd thing to complain about.
Sort of disappointed that in a topic labelled "everything designed wrong about this game" that there was only one thing when there's so, so much more.

As for the levels, I feel the only thing wrong is just the fact that the game is designed around you leveling to 50 on one class, then when you want to level another class you're fucked because you basically have to grind to 50.
Doesn't help that the level cap is so high, I never really understood that, especially when so many times you see people saying that MMOs "only start at endgame" more or less.

Wow, that's awful. You should stop playing.

[Lexia]

You seem to be describing how 1.0 ran, so they been there and done that already.

I think they are doing a great job so far. Gotta love opinions.

I've always wondered why people feel the need to make posts like this. Do people really think that a developer is going to read a very poorly written piece about something by a random guy on the internet who obviously doesn't know what they're talking about and decide to trash everything they've done just for that random guy? SE has experienced, professional designers to work on this game's design and they're "wrong" because you say so? I mean... really??
