whats wrong with wow?

[BelgianRofl]

Us FFXI players don't like WOW because it's too easy. Not even WOW players like FFXIV. Weird, huh?

WoW had some awesome raiding areas, really cool Boss fights & some very tactical.
Thats what i wanna see in FFXIV, it's just that we are missing that part, there's no hard instanced fights.

Im just glad we dont have any exp loss atm, cuz that.. would piss off more ppl than we think.
Especially the few ppl that think SP gain atm is utterly crap. (shame on you!)

WoW gets a ton of unjustified hate. People wouldn't hate it so much but every developer tries to copy WoWs formula and they fail. You can't out WoW WoW. Blizzard did a lot right with the game even though a lot of people hate to admit it. The fluidity of controls and character movement is still hard to beat. The UI is pretty much the best around and if you don't like it you can remake it to whatever you want, also the way you interact with the objects or NPCs/Players in the game world is effortless and easy, two things 14 completely fails at in comparison.

The bad, the game is so solo friendly the whole way to level cap, and until you get into serious end game content, the community doesn't have to really rely on each other. You also don't level the different classes on the same character, your reputation means nothing at all. People end up only caring about themselves and they end up being rude and impatient, the whole community just completely sucks unless your in a good guild.

The content design keeps you farming the same raids and dungeons for a couple months until a new one is released and all your gear is replaced very quickly. Makes those hard to earned items less meaningful. On the other hand, farming sky and kings in FFXI for years was too far on the other end of the spectrum.

WoW is actually harder than XI in a lot of respects, it is just that XI was much more curel. WoW raid boses were dynamic, engaging and tough with gear available before you killed the boss. a dungoen comes out and NONE of the 14 million players that paly it compelte the dungion before 3-4 months is not an easy game.

AV and PW were masochistic hatefull bastards with 0 clues to how to kill them and the penalties for failure where so harsh that the rewards were not worth the substantial effort to learn their mechanics. THe mechanics might not even be that hard but getting 30+ people together to try to Kill AV considering the farming for the mats, the death penalties and the general headach was not worth it so AV didn't die without exploits, that does not make a game hard either, it makes it just cruel and mean.

Prommy missions were challenging, Nyzul floors were challenging, Einherjar was interesting but needed more mechanics other than basic unavoidable AOE damage from boses.

Basically WoW had little penalty for failure so they could make the boses have some really interesting mechanics, were FFXI was unforgiving so in order to beat the boss before suicide, the boss needed to be relativly easy. (remember a kid died trying to kill PW) If your saying wow is just easier than FFXI then you never palyed WoW at the higher levels, jsut becuase FF beats on noobies done'st make it harder, just meaner.

speaks the truth!

wow is harder but everything is faster including questing ,boss killing , and leveling

ffxi is the opposite easy mode and everything is slow!!!

ppl always mix the concepts of slow and hard. they think slower = harder

not it's not. cruel is a better word for FF11
