it's not hard to get a class to level 50. also if you notice 2 of his classes in the 40's use shield so sentinel was easliy gotten to 50. just because someone has multiple high classes gives us no right to accuse them of cheating.

Some people may like the game the way it is, but not enough. The game may be perfect in your eyes but the game is going to be built from a business point of view. The current game (or how it was when I last played it) would not make enough money to last and thus it would either be taken offline or given an overhaul at a later stage.
i know i am, speaking for myself, not saying the game doesn't need major fixes. i am looking at it from a business end when i keep saying they have to find a medium to make as many people happy as possible. to me that would involve using the unique ideas and doing major fixes to them. they have many issues with the game, but i feel as though it would make better business to try to work the system that is in place instead of taking more time to completely make a new system that nobody knows if it would work or be any better received than this one is. it would come out to not getting any more people and even more cost to try another completely new system if the new one wasn't a major success the first try.Some people may like the game the way it is, but not enough.

the reason that is would be because many people would give the game a second chance when they heard a new system, but would leave for good the second time if it wasn't perfect. i feel like it's better to work within the framework established than to completely remove and hope for the best the second time around.

I hope the game turns into a WoW clone. Then I can laugh when all the FFXI throwbacks start crying about how SE has scorned them by not turning it into FFXI-2.
After reading the whole thin im split, simply because the game doesnt have a direction right now(that im aware of).
I understand OP enjoys the game .Many people do. But not enough.Changes have to happen or SE will keep loosing money forever.The problem now is not whatever those changes are gonna be radical or barely tweaking.The problem is into WHAT direction are those changes heading to.
Is it gonna be towards a vanilla FFXI or a WOW standards ? to put two different kinds of mmos as an example.I think more like the second option,based on the changes/patches direction.As much as people as myself would love to see a FFXI-2, this does not sell.In the end what matters is what makes money or not.
Devs basing important decisions in what the masses discuss in forums , could be a solution to "populate " FFXIV.That will definetly push away people who expected ffxi, or those who are "content" with how the game is now.
Personally?I enjoyed the game even with its flaws.But is to short.Once your done with it all you can do is rinse and repeat, then those flaws become super irritating , because theres nothing new to compensate.IMO the game will end up in something similar to WoW with a FF lore(somewhat), becouse that is what people will ask for .I enjoyed wow for a short spawn of time.Vanilla FFXI had everything wow didnt had in my case , so i stayed in FFXI for years.I came to FFXIV expecting a FFXI, but thats something that is not going to happen , no matter how much we pray for it.
At this point and in the current state of FFXIV i would be ok with whatever they decide to do but two thins,
game go F2P forever(=cash shop)
i find another mmo i like, with a long life spawn(play time).
It is really that simple , right now there just isnt a lot of good MMOs out there.For how long? not to long.
Kinda went a bit off topic there.
agree'd i highly doubt that they would want to following the footsteps of wow instead of implementing aspects of there older brother game ffxi. seriously if they try to implement aspects of wow instead of what they should ffxi this game will just have a awkward quick death that will leave a bad bad taste in the mouth of SE and ff fans that wont be forgotten, and add mr. yoshida name to that as well ppl will avoid that game if the name is on it... i'm pretty sure SE is a company that knows better than to try something like that, you know what the fans want all all that left is to do it..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.
Man get mad if you want but if they did improve on the ffxi formula with a new world,story, improved visuals and some extra's, they would grab the current and former xi playerbase and thoes were very very loyal players for a very very long time you cant go wrong there...

I have played alot of mmos that players whined and whined for change, and the changes came and still unhappily bailed, taking the happy players with them, swg, ac2 and tr just to name a few, hopefully se will be smart enough to weed out the actual whiners and focus on what players really want, the whiners will leave anyway but devs need to becareful not to alienate the rest, I think more content should be the first steps.
no all they know is that people want huge changes and a complete overhaul. that's what keeps getting thrown around. well going to exactly like wow would be just that. it would be a complete overhaul that drastically changed rules of the game. that, i believe, is why it has been pointed out so many times that the question was too vague because the majority of the mmo player base in whole prefers that type of game.
is that what i want? not at all. to use the poll as to exactly what a player base wants to make the game better though needs more specific questions not a general thing that most people agree with, but for different reasons.

I'd be up for that.
Square-Enix is so adamant on making XIV that unique to FFXI that they're losing out on a lot of the beautiful things that made FFXI a complete success. FFXIV is FFXI's successor, Square seem to forget this fact. It's ok to borrow and copy little area's.. A delivery box.. Class names.. And AH..
I don't even think SE need to make FFXI-2.. I just think they have to accept that an MMO that ran for 8 years and is STILL running can be of a great benefit to the game at hand considering most of us are ex-XI players
