Get away from our game!

[Whocareswhatmynameis]

It's fine that people play this way, just don't go complaining there's "nothing to do" after you've probably put in close to 100 hours of gameplay in 1 week. It's about as bad as Diablo 3 players saying the game sucks after having put in 400 hours into the game.

I would argue the difference is your paying a sub for ffxiv. No1 wants to pay a subscription for a game they don't play more than once or twice a week. MMOs have to have long lasting content to justify the subscription fee. Level and Gear grinds used to do this but they give the gear and levels away so easy it's like "okay, what now?" That's my opinion anyway.

But...it's basically a WoW clone already.

Long as they don't say 'toon' all the time I don't really mind them here.

Judge not by one's background, but by one's present attitude. WoW players can be nice, or they can be rude.... FFXIV players can be nice, or they can be rude.... I doubt there's actually a legit difference =p

I played wow for nine years, and Lotro for six or so - I can honestly say I have never had a *toon* tho - I think it sounds icky!

Not a fan of the term, myself.... my sister has been a WoW player for years - I could never get into it and the graphic style isn't desirable for my tastes at all >_> But that term bugs me for absolutely no reason o_O

"pull or i leave"
" let me loot everything"
"this game its for weebs and the history sucks, let me get that shiny weapon omg omg"

Typical wow players.

Played WoW for years and I can say all my previous guild mates (including myself I guess) are not like that, at all. The majority of the community isn't, just the vocal minority (and I can say the same about FFXIV's community no less). Although you're doing a fine job at making the FFXIV community look horrible and possibly detracting potential players.

I came from WoW and I despise what that game has become, I bet a lot of other ex-wow players feel the same way. However, there are some that expect to get everything on a silver platter since they're so used to it, but either they will ultimately quit and go back to their crappy game or they will change and realize that things shouldn't come for free at no cost or time invested.

Really as an ex-WoW player I'm only having a few problems:

1. Long global cooldown. In 2 months of play (one of which I mostly sat out for real world stuff) I haven't fully adjusted to this yet
2. No damage meter
3. No Deadly Boss mods

These are my issues right now coming from years and years of WoW but they're not problems with the game, they're problems with how WoW wires your brain for raiding content. WoW players might have to take a while to retrain their reflexes for FFXIV and that's something you can learn. The long cooldown seems to be the biggest turn off to converts that I've met, more so than the mandatory story. That and the lack of addon support but I reckon addon support is a gaping rabbit hole SE would rather not go down.

Just want to say that your Signature always makes me smile. So adorable X3


Topic: Where you come from doesn't matters. It's your Language that matters. If you are nice everything is fine. Be an A** and People will avoid you regardless what MMO you played before.

Just you know i am a WoW Veteran started playing like...one month ago. I have not a single shred of Motivation going back to WoW. Even with the new Patch that came out this Week...i see that WoW Icon...and then this XIV Icon on my Desk. And i totally forget about WoW and start to smile over all the Fun i have here. With a more relaxed/mature Community.

TL; DR Moral of the story: WoW players are coming but they don't want to make this game into the one they just left. They want something different to remind them what fun is.

This whole damn post. This.

I left WoW because they killed everything in the game that I loved. First they 'updated' the charcter models, which resulted in case of male Bloodelves in turning them into hulking beefcakes with cavemen faces. So the only option for having a somewhat handsome male character was gone. In wow I had a lot of passion going for transmog (like glamour system in ffxiv) but who cares about the clothes if the character itself looks horrible :C

You could turn those off, you know.
