People tired of senseless and tedious grinding w/o any challenges other than testing your patience to see if you can make it to EG before you have had enough even in a fully polished game? lol

Yeah, I felt FFXI had some very good concepts that are unique, fun and the best of any MMO out there today, just paired with some not so good concepts. I expected FFXIV to have those concepts and 8 years of renovations/improvements to those weaker concepts, but instead they tried something totally different. SE is working on their flaws and I still have hope in this game because it still has a great amount of potential.
