Don't change a thing!!!

[darkstarpoet1]

no i do not love the game how it is. i just feel tweaks/fixes/changes would be the better way in the long run to go about correcting the issues over putting a completely new system i place then in 6 more months fighting on how to change that again because the new system didn't work how we wanted it to either. to me it's just more beneficial as the company to work off the base set in place and make changes as they see fit to work with members from all groups than it is to completely alienate one group and hope they hit a home run with the other. i have a feeling alot of people on here will never be happy with this game unless they remove the xiv tag and put xi-2 in its place. anything short of that and this game will always be fail to that group.

Well, not really. But the point is that there are a LOT of us who like the game as it stands and I wanted to be a small voice for the community of players who enjoy the games current mechanics (which need tweaking but NOT an overhaul)

So, SquareEnix, for every person posting here their ideas that would take a ton of work and an overhaul of a system in the game, there are just as many of us that are happy with the game as it is and just want to see more content.

As I have said before, and I will say again, only those unhappy with something tend to speak out. Those happy with how things are remain silent. (as are things in life)

Here on your forums you will get opinions from those unhappy with things, so please don't forget about the rest of us who like how things are! (for the most part XD) Don't change directions, don't lose focus, and don't copy everyone else just to try and appease everyone. In the end you will lose what you were aiming for and it will go to hell anyway.

OK i tried not to talk to bad about indivisuals in these forums but wtf is wrong with u the game as is is a freakin tragedy are you blind this thread was ment to be a joke i guess. Thank goodness your post will most likely be completely ignored by the devo team if they value making money lol

This game in this state is awful and I think you are blind to it and the direction this game is going. You guys are gonna be in for a rude awakening when this turns into a streamlined, WoW clone.

Im not fooling you, either. Naoki Yoshida has praised WoW, compared this game to WoW and even said he wants to implement things that WoW has.

It's only a matter of time before the minority QQs their faces off over a WoW clone.

i'm going to laugh if it does become a wow clone. i bet that's not the overhaul people had in mind when they voted for it. that was my exact statement of there are many meanings when overhaul is mentioned of what direction they wish to take it.

bravo.

Just a wild guess: that self-proclaimed Mog Doctor just realized
that if the rules of Eorzea are fundamentally changed, it will
endanger the advantage he/she gained by mindlessly grinding
through a game almost noone else could bear to play for more
than a few hours per week.

Hint: Sometimes life is fair, and mindlessness is not rewarded.

Dr. Mog is a pioneer of the game.. I am just as jealous as you are Rinsui of Mog's Ranks.. but I atleast know it wasnt mindless grinding, but rather having a full dedicated LS that is organized and lead correctly. Him along with his LS constantly update information for the community on other sites. His input holds more value then most not because he cares to have an advantage over other people, but rather because hes done it all.. He knows and understands the game more then the trolls and "jumping" sheep in these forums. I for one agree with him.. it will be a shame to have this game turn into a clone of WoW.. The game needs change.. but it does not need to be "rehauled".. and those that are still playing.. enjoy the game.. otherwise they wouldnt play. We need more people who actually know the ins and the outs of the game to speak out and give their opinions.. but either way.. trolls will be trolls

Im not even in Mog's server nor ever talked to the guy.. and I value his opinion more then most

Again that's what the player polls are for, so SE can get an idea about what people want to see done.

Only in a perfect world would they be able to make it so FFXIV appeals to everyone, that's very wishful thinking. So in order to maintain the game, and actually make money of of it they have to appease a broader audience.

It's just not possible to please everyone, some will get alienated, maybe even I will be part of the alienated group.

My advice: wait for the polls, vote how you feel and even if the majority beats you in numbers, be glad that you tried and just move on.

Sorry OP, but if SE keeps the game as is, the game will continue to fail. The people who are satisfied with the game as is are vastly outnumbered by the amount of potential customers who would play the game if things were different.

Keep in mind that the goal is for SE to release the game on the PS3 and get killer reviews so they can start charging us to play.

[Wolfie]

"A lot" is a very fuzzy phrase. In reality, for every 1 person that is ok with the game as it is now, there's 5+ others that are not. These are numbers posted by SE themselves.

Been here since the first Alpha and it has improved a lot!! I can understand people not being happy with it but for those who are we shouldn't be made to feel we cant. The game does need work, content being one the main things for me. I will see it out and feel quite happy to carry on, i have done all i could with FFXI. The game does need help but i have had a lot of pleasure over 12 months and reading half of the other topics about swimming, jumping and pvp for me isn't FF...as the other poster said it doesn't need a massive overhaul.

i did vote in the polls and did vote for major changes, but my idea of major changes differs from you idea of major changes. that's why people were saying the questions were too vague and there are worries of what the developers took as major changes. it has even been mentioned in this very thread of turning this game into wow with a ff name on it. just because we voted yes we want change does not mean everyones opinions of change is the same. when they create polls they need to be more specific on the types of changes they wish to initiate so people can vote on the specifics not generalized questions.
