Great Patch!

Do you think that's the wrong thing to ask for? The economy will stabilize soon enough, before that it might be tough but that's something you need to deal with. They essentially restarted the economy, and its wheels do not start turning immediately after you hit level 10.

The fact is that you should be required to update your equipment every few levels. Whether that's impossible in the current economy or not is another matter altogether.

no it wont your at the mercy of the Crafters in this game. we can pretty much charge you dame near anything so long as it doesn't go above the npc sell price. why the hell would i waste my time with crafting lowbie gear at 2k a piece i mean does it look like i run salvation army or something. should i set my measly 8 gear bizarre to carry gear that's going to net me max profit or should i sell lowbie gear that can barely buy a unit of meat kebab.

all in all the game wasn't ready for the 1.19 patch we needed stream lined party's before we made the game party centered we needed more selling space before we trashed all the gear etc etc. but that's like SE's punch line well fix the game even if we do it half ass backwards.

Slow leveling? You gotta know where to level, I've been getting chain 5+ getting 1k EXP a pop on R37 MRD. At Strongholds, and there chains build EXP fast. He said it would take 30 seconds or so to kill a mob compared to the 5 sec kills from before but EXP is greater.

yeah its a great patch if your above lvl 20, if not your in for a cluster fuck of a life time.

lol whatever.
I love the patch and the direction this is going, we all knew a long time ago this was gonna happen.
You dont like it? Quit, wait 5 months, and come back so your POV is cleared on what u expect from the game, instead of using yesturdays POV.

This patch was major win.
QQ to all the soloers, go play WoW.

This thread reminds me of old Lineage II private servers. A typical discussion was this:

- Hello, Wanna party?
- STFU I'm soloing
(then he'd pk you but that's irrelevant)

Is this your vision of FFXIV? If so there are still L2 severs with zillion rates and potions so you'll never die.
I want to explore difficult to reach places while partying, and fight mobs I'd never go solo on (adventure, y kno?).
That's what XIV (and genarally MMO) is about.

As much of a proponent of MMOing in an MMORPG, I do find that I still solo a lot as well and my experience with soloing in the game is pretty good after the patch. Just need to hit the right mobs and actually pay attention in battle now.

Slow Leveling?! Are you serious?! Have you played FFXIV in the last year?! Now with a good party you can at the same time have fun and doing good exp ( 60k exp/hour )... If this is slow...
