    Not particularly happy, and SB I am anticipating won't change that. It's looking to be the same as HW for me, a 1 month expansion, with a 1-2 month catch up before the next. Honestly this dev team should look at what the XI team did for expansions to see how you can be creative with new content and not just make the n-th reiteration of the same formula.

    I think it's interesting to see the votes so far, i made this thread on reddit as well.
    https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comme...state_of_ffxiv
    The response on reddit seems to be a lot more positive and people seem content there. :P
    While people seem more dissatisfied on the official forums.

    While FFXI is my favorite MMO to be honest, looking at the results so far it seems about 75-80% are happy with the current state of the game.
    Of which 1/3 of the happy players (25% of total) does not want changes,
    while 2/3 of the happy players (52% of total) would welcome bigger changes.
    And pretty much 4/5 of the unhappy players (18% of total) sticks around because, while they're not happy as it is, they still think this is the best MMO available or have hope for 4.0

    So i'd say SE is doing everything right so far, sticking to their formula and just occasionally testing the waters with trying new content here and there.
    The number of Happy players that do not want changes is bigger than the number of unhappy players waiting for changes.

    I think going forward if you make a poll such as this, you should include a question asking how long the person has played for. There's probably a very real correlation between how long a person has played for and how bored they've gotten of the status quo formula while newer players are likely to be more satisfied because it's still mostly fresh to them.

    Ha! I've been here since 1.0 beta, and I've been playing FFXI since PS2 release (i.e., CoP), and I'm perfectly happy with XIV as-is. Remember, all generalizations are false!

    I don't think it's unreasonable to ask for data for determination of correlation rather than just see personal anecdotes which will exist for both viewpoints and really don't contribute much of anything in regards to the trend of data.

    I've leveled this character in 3.5 and have almost 300 hours of play time, and all I did was clear the story.

    While people often complain about the ARR endgame story quests, that's when the game really opens up, so much content to unlock and clear.

    So yeah, I think a new player will generally be happier than a veteran

    This straw poll won't measure real sentiment cuz the people who completely dislike it over all this time already quit and they won't be measured cuz they can't vote cuz they don't care anymore. Obviously people here still like the game to some measure of extent.

    I have a question for the poll creator.

    Your two affirmative choices are not in any way similar. the 1st choice is a straight yes, and the second is a Yes, but change everything. If you are happy with it as it is, but you would welcome complete change in the game, how are you really happy with it as it is? It's a false poll option because welcoming fundamental change is akin to saying, no, I'm not happy, I want change.

    I think you should close the poll, and reopen it with;
    1. Yes, completely happy.
    2. Yes, happy, but some changes would increase my enjoyment.
    3. I don't know, changes might help me like it.
    4. No, but it's better than other MMORPGs, fundamental change might help me.
    5. No, I am completely unhappy with the game for reasons posted, no change can save it for me

    The trouble for me with this poll is that you go from yes happy, to yes happy but change everything. You need to have a "yes, happy but some change might help improve things" options because right now you present a binary choice between no change and fundamental change. That's a false choice - IMHO, something pollsters have to be wary of offering lest it skew results.
