Idk if it could ever be fixed

[Sephrick]

For starters the classes are horrible. I mean seriously it's like who wants to play an Archer when a Ranger is so much better. Why play a Pugilist when a Mnk/War is more fun. Lancer for example, where is my Dragon? Seriously the classes are so basic it's pathetic, and why something like this was even created is beyond me. Why isn't there classes like RDM, THF, NIN, SAN, etc...? The job system in FFXI was really good and really stood out from other games. Like why fix what wasn't broken in the first place?

Which is why they're creating the job system. In addition, with the release of 1.19 they're releasing their intended redesigns of classes and their abilities for player feedback.

The original idea was that you could create your own class. You could be the FF classic like Black Mage or Paladin or something completely unique. But the sad truth is that the game was rushed out the door before that system could be thoroughly developed.

Second is the lets start out with some quests but then end up soloing mobs. Seriously the game leaves you with a start but then just leaves you hanging(You do beginner quests then end up like ok I'll go kill something I guess)(No Valkrum Dunes I guess) . The mob distribution is so messed up that it's ridiculous(I mean a level 3 mob standing next to a level 30 mob). I can care less about quests, because I figure finding a group would be so much...

I'm not sure this happens too often. Not sure what you mean by "it leaves you hanging" either.

It's an MMORPG, it's up to you to decide where the adventure goes. Albeit, it's an MMORPG in a major state of change. patches 1.18-1.20 were meant to alter some core mechanics of the game.

With the claiming and exp chain changes coming in 1.19, so too are mob placement alterations.

Who cares, this game sucks(And by sucks I mean terrible). SE will never be able to do anything with it. Me typing my opinion wouldn't matter anyway, just a waste of my time. Thanx for destroying a great game and following the wow trend and making something so fail I just don't even want to play.

I hope and wish FFXI could follow to maybe FFXV, but I doubt it. TBH... I hate dying in FFXI, it sucks I lose XP and had to HP or get a rez lol. But at the same time I loved the challenge to it. Even tho I was like freak this, I understood that noobs never made it past level 40 period. Doing Limbus was fun, but now it's like WoW but retarded. So.... No thank you, I don't want eazy mode.

To be completely honest, this barely is a coherent thought.

What exactly is "WoW-like" about XIV?

It's not that they set out to be WoW-like anyway. They originally set out to be "not like XI."

XI was a game for folks with a time of time to invest. XIV was, and still is, intended for players with less time to devote. There are very few things in XIV that overtly emulate World of Warcraft, in any way.

Saying a game is "just like WoW" without substantive examples of what ways it is like said game and how that is a negative is just a red flag for poor trolling.

The initial release of XIV is a symbol of what happens when a developer deliberately avoids game mechanics just for the sake of not being like some other game.

It's like saying Call of Duty sucks because it's just like Doom. What with it's first person shooting and what not.

People keep crying "easy mode" in relation to XIV as if XI had any real challenge. The only "challenge" in XI was staying awake between spawn windows. Outside of that the game pretty much played itself unless you were a tank or healer.

EDIT: And to be completely frank, unless you have another character, I don't think you've invested enough time in XIV to know if it's like WoW or not.
