It's not done

[nasomi]

I think I stopped playing some time ago when someone said: "FFXI had a year before it came to North America. Give FFXIV a year and it'll be more finished".

I came back, and it's not. It seriously is not finished. Not even close.

The UI is still bad, the classes still suck, there is virtually no penalty for dying, and insta-travel still exists. There's no inclination to do anything other than for better gear. No quests for unlocking new abilities, no quests to open new areas. There's a mediocre conquest-like system in place. Gear maintenance without a point. MP recovery abilities without a point. No large-scale 18+ person group endgame content. No bard. Nothing special / Nothing unique.

Why waste my time on this MMO, when I can get the same thing out of WoW, Rift, EQ2, Warhammer, Age of Conan, etc., etc., ?

The answer is: Because I love the Final Fantasy series so much I won't realize how awful the game actually is. Thankfully, I know better.

Even looking at what's planned for 2.0, the game is not done, and I'm not paying for it. Before you guys flame this topic with one-liners like: "Another one of these?" - Take a moment to think instead: "Why so many of these?" Then if you're smart, it'll make sense to you.

Ciao.

TL;DR;DC

don't like it, don't post, and don't bother returning to complain. There's plenty of people here that enjoy the game, leave us alone.

But at least I know how to spell and have proper grammar! And you're not discussing anything, you're talking about how you're totally going to leave because you think the game's terrible, without actually leaving.

The billing hasn't started. Until the time comes where he actually has to leave, he has every right to his opinion here.
