Three Question Survey

[Malzian]

1) Yes, I am for the most part, though every game has its issues and I accept that.

2) Beta Phase 3, though I also played for the first 3 months of 1.0 from its Beta phase 1.

3) I left LotRO after 7 years for this when LotRO just went down the tubes, though I still have lifetime there and it's F2P (though I've only logged into it twice in as many years).

Good point! I'll keep that in mind when I post my abstract.

Thanks, and thanks for the survey too.

1) Not particularly satisfied. They killed crafting and raiding with 3.0. It was fun in ARR, now it's just a long, long grind with little reward at the end.
2) Since release (August 2013)
3) No, first MMO

[DarkB]

Yes.
Since FFXIV ARR Beta phase 3, with a 6 month period when I was still subbed, but could only play very limited times.
No, but I have played others before, I did not come here from another game that I was playing when this started.

Remember that any conclusions you draw from this survey are not representative of the player base of the game, they represent the community on the forum, the two are not the same thing.

Because the people who post on the forum arent actually equally players and customers? i really dont understand this lol. How is the forum community different from the player base when to login and post in here you must have a square enix valid and active account?

The forum is not representative because it's not a random sampling of the playerbase. It's a subset of the playerbase that is interested in posting on the official forums. This adds bias to the sample, and is thus not representative of the whole.

1.) Yes - also because I know not every patch/phase/implementation can/will be perfect
2.) Beta
3.) Ragnarok Online (was off and on playing for 10ish? years, but now I'm completely off...)

Just a little curious about something, since data points are just data points. Feel free to fill it out. Or not! Up to you!

1. Are you currently satisfied with FFXIV?
2. How long have you been playing FFXIV?

2: since 1.0
3: FF11

Pretty much this.

I may build a survey site in the future that automatically compiles the data from these to build charts from, and is independent of the forums, but even then, there would be bias.
