They don't like it...there's the door to the exit.

Yes, so you and the other 19 people left on your server on your ftp game can have it all to yourself.

How many will be left once they start charging for this abortion?

Is abortion the new buzzword? I'm hearing it a lot lately used in very unappealing ways.

I don't care...I've never played with them and I would probably never meet them even if you mention them so why would I care?

This guy's got a troll face...oh wait, that's a tumor caused by his over-inflated ego, perpetuated by his constant face-plastering into the monitor trolling people.

Herp-derp-derp.

Considering there are more players now than sense the game began, I don't think that's too much of an issue.

Believe it or not, some people liked the group play aspect in XI. This is their way of bringing that aspect back without changing it all the way.
You can still solo, you just have to be careful about it.

I'm not sure how long it's been since you leveled in XI but it is WAY easier to solo level than XIV at the moment. I can do FoV or GoV for easy solo XP.

Don't get me wrong, I love party play and leveled all of my jobs in XI in a party setting. I just find it hard to believe that Square as a company can drop the ball so much (obviously not learning from XI) and people are O.K. with it. It's almost as if SE can feed some of the people a pile of shit on this board and they will be happy about it. It perplexes me...

It was arguably easier in XI, even before FoV, just really inefficient compared to partying.

I know many people who would argue those features ruined the game.
Besides, what's the rush to get to endgame? Most of the content is in the mid levels.

Where do you get server populations from? Gut instinct? Do the chocobos on the server select screen actually mean something?

Why is it this game has to turn into FFXI? Are people really that desperate to recapture that long lost feeling? Do they think making FFXIV into FFXI will actually bring that fun back? The truth is, no matter how much closer SE gets this game to XI, that feeling will never be back. Why don't we try something new for once instead of copying what made FFXI "fun" back in 2003.

Have you tried to solo as a new character since the patch? The only time I bother to log on is to do leves on my Lancer because soloing outside of that is utterly pointless. I can't kill a mob my level anymore because I can't find/afford gear for my level. So, I kill level 10-12 Dodos at rank 14 and get anywhere between 91XP and 120 XP per kill. Arguably, solo XP is now much much more difficult than getting XP in a PT, so since all of you bittervets seem to like "hardcore" shouldn't the solo guy get better rewards?
