whats wrong with wow?

[Betelgeuzah]

you can't be really fair in anything really

Yes, you can... at least much fairer. No equipment, skills, level difference... or even class difference. Fair PvP needs all these things to not matter. Or like in Defense of the Ancients, everyone start the fight from the same point so its fair.

Still can get killed by multiple people but there is always same number of people in the team so it's up to teamplay. The # of people is the same, so it's fair. Same in WoW. If it's 8 vs. 8, it's the failure of the other 7 if a guy gets killed by 3 people ganking on him. But if the other team has better gear, more balanced skills and are higher level? It's just stupid.

PVP is not fun have you try it? players with boa have 1.5k hp at level 14 when you only have 350 at best. They should not allow players to use boa while in BG if one side have more players with boa guess what? they win.

to have everything absolutly fair is like saying you can transfer energy from cold to hot without doing work.

That's what I meant.

It's no excuse~

If you want to use your brain while playing XI, play white mage. You have to pay attention full time or *SHOCK* people die. You need to know what moves to watch for or your alliance can't function properly because they're slowed, paralyzed, or slept. xD

This is almost like comparing baseball to basketball. Yes, they're both sports that use a ball, but the rules and gameplay are largely different. Is one better than the other just because it's fundamentally different than the other?

my white mage was 75, what i found out was while im PTing, I constantly repeat in a cycle. Haste on different players 1, 2, 3, mob cast silence on tank, silena, heal, sometimes a paralyse, and a silence on mob, then haste again. repeat the cycle...
after leveling a long time, my brain almost like suffering neurasthenia... you don't actually USE your brain, you just repeat...till you hit the fatigue limit.

I was referring more to WHM endgame, which I found quite challenging and fun. I had to be on the ball the whole fight, using the right spells at the right time, watching the mob to see what ailment it was inflicting so I could remove it.

Personally, I enjoyed the long fights in FFXI. For me it gave the sense of "fighting an epic battle." I'm sorry you didn't. Please let us enjoy our game, and we'll let you enjoy yours. It's as simple as that.

Wow is the most easy mmorpg,ever.


It's made for people who never played an mmo before,it's watered down for them.

Accept quest -------> kill 10 rats -------> Finish quest.
Repeat 3 times,------->go to the next quest hub.

That's it,wow boss fights are even more easy and retarded 123 spam.

This is something accepted in the genre,some people like easy games,others need a game where you actually have to think and not just follow arrows and big !

yes, this is why i hate ffxiv guild leves, they have the stench of wow leveling on them and i hate them, i'm worried they will keep giving us newere leves and crystals to go to for years calling this new content. fine i guess for now as little sp boosts but not really enjoyable outside the fact that they are party play.

also i agree with the above post, i was expecting lot of npc's in this game that talked as u clicked then or went near them, this game went backwards in mmo's, graphics aside and i really don't care bout the graphics they not so great they can do away with content,and other cool stuff that most mmo's these days are doing or trying to add. besides how many of there players have there graphics up past normal or lowest.

One thing I liked about WoW that could be noted and beneficial for FFXIV was the NPC's voices.

I especially liked talking to Troll NPCs, "Ya mon" "Stay away from da Voodoo mon." Hehe I love it

I like WoW. It's done a lot of things well I think. I'm playing it now while FFXIV is down. That being said I prefer FFXIV, though FFXI was a bit too hard core for me. I find FFXIV a good balance between FFXI and WoW, and am probably one of the kind of players I think they were targetting to begin with. The bad thing is for SE, is that I am far out numbered by the hard core types who loved FFXI. At the end of the day I like most of what they've done, but I think that most popular suggestions to improve the game would really improve the game, even for a 'somewhere between WoW and FFXI' type of player like me.
