1. Where do you come from to XIV? Play WoW, FFXI, GuildWars, ESO?
FFXI/WoW/ FFXIV 1.0

2. Do you like how the game currently progresses?
No, I do not. Every patch is just a repeat of higher gear level. It feels like I am playingthis never ending train of get new gear and I can't just settle on some set to explore different and new aspects of the game. Think how FFXI kept being interesting all the years it was 75.

3. Do you want it to stay that way? If no, what changes would you make?
First I would give a parallel type of thing for MSQ, this means not locking you out of SB for not completing HW, again going back to how FFXI did things. FFXIV's MSQ locks too much. If you want to be a crafter and gather main for example, you are required to keep up in battle, and some people do not like this.

Level 50 MSQ quests need less bloat, just seems like a lot of them is just a run here, run there time sink. Felt torture having do it all at once when leveling my alt.

For gear I would change a few things:
If I buy a gear say Augmented Shire Philosopher's Coat, I should be able to have an exact clone of it so my (well if i had blm on this account) BLM and SMN could have different looks. That or simply give jobs their own set, since different jobs use different secondaries anyway.

So basically more gear options, remove Perry and accuracy, or fully customization secondaries like the relic weapons. I do not care what changes, but if I was put in charge and told the programmers to change this? I would say pick one of these options and do it. You may pick the easier one ofc, but one of these better get done.

Find ways around "play the game for 2 weeks then unsub till the next patch"

Sometimes I feel we're in a paradox (We as in my friends and I at least). I think the games ok but isn't great. I only really play it because my friends do..
Yet many of those friends also say the games ok isn't that great but they only really play it cos we do..
