Discouraged Player

[KaiKatzchen]

I don't know why I still try to play this. All the friends I made are gone, I can't begin to find anything fun or rewarding to want to do. I was hopeful that this would be on track a year later, but most of the aspects that made my blood pressure noticeably rise are still a part of this game to this day. Now they're making chocobos and materia systems before they tackle this lousy UI and the horrible time consuming shopping in addition to making gear repairs incredibly frustrating. Their priorities seem lodged in a rut trying to please people for a small bit of time while the dinner on the table goes cold dealing with restrictions on game play to make sure I'm not having too much fun.

I've been playing the game since CB, and while it still needs work, I think that it is in a much better place than it was even 4-6 months ago. I think the UI is much better than it was months ago... and I think it plays very smoothly with a controller.

I don't feel that the Market Wards are that bad at all. You look for the item, it tells you not only where it is but how much it costs, you mark it and go to the ward and buy it. If I know exactly what I am looking for I can do all of that in about a minute if not less, so I don't understand the 'time consuming shopping' that you speak of.

As for the repairs, everyone complained about all the items needed for repairing and how much space it was taking up so they change it. Now people complain about the new system... this is one of those situations where people are just going to be unhappy no matter what so, oh well. I didn't mind the old system, I don't mind this new system... as long as items get fixed and I can keep going I'm good.

All in all, I'm sorry that you do not enjoy it and I guess you need to decide what is best for you to do. Either take a break and come back later to see if it's better or decide if you've given enough time and you want to move onto something else. None of us can help you with this issue, and we can't make up your mind for you.

I'm going to keep with it until we have to pay, because at this point I'm not loosing anything by staying and I have a good group around me. I'll make my decision when they announce payment's are starting.

One last thing... CHOCOBOS!!!! *luv* Who can hate the fact that Choco's are coming into the game?!

I agree. I search , mark, warp, buy, and im back to the city and on my way. Perhaps you and I are using it correctly instead of hanging on to the Auction House idea. I loved the AH in ffxi but the only downside of this game not having one is that I dont bother trying to sell stuff. I usually give it away or npc it for less gil when i upgrade.
