What cause players to quit Final Fantasy XIV A Realm Reborn

[Akiza]

Class/Job System- is boring, lacks creativity and depth because they built it around casual player skill oversimplifying it instead of building the system around the potential of the class/job.

Combat- oversimplified and lacks depth there are no crowd control abilities, not a lot of support abilities and no skill chains.

Zodiac Weapons- takes to long for the casual player to get for very little gain. At ilvl 110 it should take a max of 3 weeks for a player to get if they play 2 hrs a day since new Raids and gear come out every 6 mos.

Raiding- has a lot of one shot mechanic and is unforgiving because if one player screws up he or she can wipe the entire party

Weekly Lockout- Players can down T6-T9 on a weekly basis and not get a single loot drop for their class. Players wouldn't mind a weekly lockout if one piece of loot dropped for all classes

In general anything worth getting in this game is a long boring grind for very little reward if something is going to be a long grind it will have to be the best item in the game until the next expansion.

I've had a close friend quit over the animus stage of weapon, due to fates not spawning for hours on end
Hoping they will come back in 2.4

If you don't like it stop playing it.

If you don't like it stop playing it.

What if you do like it, but at the same time don't?

Sounds like a personal problem to me. A personal problem that venting on the forums is not going to fix.

Akiza topic... Ah the good ol' days.

On a serious note this doesn't deserve it's own topic. There's a 100 page thread going on with all the points in the OP being argued by the for and against people. You've brought nothing to the table that hasn't already been said. I guess you must be bored and want to incite a nice flame war topic. Not to mention you are a very whishy washy player. One day you are for the game then the next you're chastising it.

Hey! Listen! At least it's not another topic on how Summoner should be and how the size of the egi are underwhelming... <.<

Shhh if you say that they'll regurgitate another then disappear off into the lost woods.

I'm tempted. Very tempted. Though I suppose size wasn't the be all end all fix for myself, just one of the suggestions.

@OP: People quit because they are no longer having fun.. :P
