Not the time to charge, cya in 2013...

[Etheos]

I don't think they have any right to charge us to play a beta. It's been a year and still no search function, no useable LFG system, and no mail. The game is a wasteland outside of chatting linkshells. Now that tons of people are going to quit, the game is going to become even more desolate. Why am I going to -pay- to play a game that's not even really ready?

I always thought to myself that they would only change when this theoretical 2.0 was released (and on PS3 too)... but to charge us for it one year ahead of time? I understand there are bills to pay, but SE really made a horrible game and deserve to pay the price. I still feel insulted that they even released the game in the first place.

I only log in to play around, check to see what's changed, and log out, and I'm sure at least 50% of the players are exactly like me (if not more).

Don't get me wrong, I had a huge smile on my face as I read through the announcement and saw the PDFs about 2.0... but I'm not paying for 1.9, or 1.20.

Unfortunately, they are probably making the wrong decision on behalf of the players. I already feel insulted -again-. For the entire 2012 I'm going to be pissed at them for not allowing the people who payed 50+ dollars for this garbage continue to see the updates that THEY OWE US first hand. Now I'm going to have to be a forum dweller.

TLDR: I feel insulted all over again and refuse to pay for beta, a bad beta at that.


****EDIT***** Important Quote from last page.



i don't mind waiting. I've been waiting since 2010. And yes, I log into the game but i don't really do much except run around. I look at shop prices, I check the market wards, I see how bad the server - client lag is. I check to see how the combat has changed (even if it is level 15). It still gives a really good idea about how the general basics work in FFXIV (which are their -main- problems). I don't need to level and see how the monster strongholds work, or how much EXP the leve's give. I do want to save my experiences in FFXIV for when it's actually good. I do not want to level up just to be higher than everyone else once 2.0 hits.

Bottom line still stands. You guys are just 'fanboy' enough to pay SE to test their content for them. They are counting on you to make sure their relaunch goes better than their first launch. This MMORPG now depends on this relaunch more than anything. It doesn't matter how much money they make each month in this coming year... if the relaunch does not deliver (and in a timely manner) FFXIV is going to flat out flop. Why are you paying them? They messed up. You should not have to pay for that. Charge us when the relaunch happens SE. Do not charge us to help pave the way for your relaunch.

***NEW EDIT***

Guess, what? Thanks for wasting your time posting...No one cares. Hopefully you can find a game you like and not return in 2013.

I'll more then likely P2P whenever they impliment it however...I feel this game still needs a ton of work. The UI is extremely cluttered. I organized mine so its tolerable..but jeez, so much clutter everywhere. o.O The battle still needs a ton of work too imho. There is no "attack" button, you have to keep pressing it or attempt to use some ability to get it to attack. My BF was playing Gladiator yesterday and got so frustrated he said he is done with it for a long time. >.<;

There is still lots of lag that needs to be fixed in menus and such. Blah blah I am sure everyone has read this 5000 times. But yeah...I'll pay I don't care...I have the spare money. Just feel it needs a ton of work

Hey guys I got the collector's edition of this game, and then the game sucked so I stopped playing for 2 months. Then I came back and played then stopped playing for another month, then a few weeks here and there. But now the game doesn't suck so I'm going to pay.

・Late November to Early Decemeber, 2011 - Patch 1.20 (and subsequent hotfixes)
⇒Class adjustments (abilities & weaponskills) / Malevolent Moogle (Primal) battle
⇒Achievement system (300+ planned) / Market adjustments / PC search
⇒The continuation of Disciple of the Hand recipe adjustments (HQ items / Repair adjustments


^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
That's what will be added plus more in addition to what we have now when they start to charge because I know all the people complaining about paying didn't fully read the additions until 2.0.

Φιλέ μου

Δεν έχω κανένα πρόβλημα να χρησιμοποιήσω σωστά την γλώσσα μου εν μέσω της γραφής ,ώστε η συζήτηση να είναι ποιο εποικοδομητική. Δυστυχώς τυγχάνει τα αγγλικά μου να μην είναι η μητρική μου γλώσσα , και αυτό καθιστά δύσκολο να μπορώ να επικοινωνήσω ολοκληρωμένα με κάποιον διαφορετικής εθνικότητας από έμενα. Εφόσον ζητάς μια συζήτηση με ανώτερη σχολική μόρφωση βολέψου με την καλύτερη που έχω στα ελληνικά .
Για καλή σου τύχη υπάρχει το Google μεταφραστής .

Δεν κλαίω αγαπητέ μου φιλέ ,ούτε προσπαθώ να υποστηρίξω τα συμφέροντα μιας εταιρείας .Σαν καταναλωτής λοιπόν εκφράζω την δική μου άποψη πάνω στα παράπονα σας . Αν το πρόβλημα σας είναι λοιπόν ότι η εταιρία ζητά χρήματα για ένα κάκιστο παιχνίδι , με κάθε δικαίωμα σας αφήνει την επιλογή να παίξετε το παιχνίδι ( που σας οφείλει) στο μέλλον . Δεν μιλάμε για κάποιο expansion μιλάμε για ένα ολόκληρο παιχνίδι ακριβός όπως το ζητούσαμε όλοι μας . Ποιο ακριβώς είναι το πρόβλημα σου ? Οτι θες να παίξεις το παιχνίδι που η ιδία εταιρία δηλώνει ότι σε ένα χρόνο τις είναι αδύνατον να διορθώσει τα προβλήματα του , και αναγκάζετε να στύση νέους Servers , νέους χάρτες , νέο User Interface , και αλλά πολλά ?

Εφόσον το παιχνίδι δεν είναι έτοιμο γιατί στεναχώριεστε που σε χρεώνει ? Αφού δεν σου άρεσε και δεν έχει και κάτι άλλο να προσφέρει ώστε να σε χρεώνει κάθε μηνά . Το παιχνίδι που φτιάχνετε ολοκληρωμένο για εσένα δεν βρίσκετε ακόμα εδω , όταν θα είναι έτοιμο θα σας φωνάξουμε να το παραλάβετε δωρεάν .

καλό βράδυ

And now translated...

Dude

I have no problem to use it properly to my tongue in the midst of writing, that the debate is what constructive. Unfortunately enjoy my English is not my native language, and this makes it difficult to do comprehensive contact with someone of a different ethnicity than me. If you ask for a debate with higher schooling volepsou the best I have in Greek.
For good luck is the Google translator.

Do not cry my dear friend, or trying to support the interests of a company. As consumers we would like to express my opinion on the complaints you. If your problem is therefore that the company asking for money for an appalling game, with all rights leaves you the option to play the game (you must) in the future. Not talking about some expansion talking about an entire game expensive as we all asked. What exactly is your problem; Whatever you want to play the game the same company states that in a year is impossible to fix problems and make them erect new Servers, new maps, new User Interface, and more;

If the game is not ready because they worry that a charge; Since you do not like and does not have anything to offer in order to charge each month. The game builds integrated for you do not find even here, when we are ready we will shout it delivered free.

good evening

u fanboys have no valid argument u just trolling sheep that dont even get payed by SE.

u have nothing to say besides owe it dont cost much but ignore the ovious fact this game is broke and in beta... if it wasnt for all u loyal fanboys it would be alpha.

Loyal sheep will follow their shepard and even pay them to play their beta, its pathetic that u def this argument.

copy pasted crap all over this game and u guys act like its the next big mmo.

all ur sheep problems are is that u played ffxi and never played anything else.

if u seriously gave any other mmo a shot u would see all the flaws ffxi and this game has. and would stop religously defing fact that it is not complete and not worth paying for.

u guys act like they gave u the game u did pay 80 bucks for it but the difference between peeps like me and sheep like u is this.

me and thousands of other people are not blind sheep and can see this game is broke.

you dont see that.

u just like to troll..

but i and king troll that has nothing to lose cuzz i feel i already wasted my 80 bucks.

you sheep are happy throwing money away on crap in the box..

THIS GAME AND ALL FANBOYS ACTING LIKE ITS EVEN CLOSE TO BEIN READY TO PAY FOR ALL DESERVE TO BE TROLLED.

my 80 bucks pays the way for my entertainment.

the game is not fun so trolling sheep like u entertains me.

keep feeding me plz im bored of this game. and i love u guys seriously even if u are blind rats stuck in a copy pasted maze.
