    I am amazed on how much people want FFXIV to be more Causal/Solo/Low man to be honest this is an MMORPG = Short for massively multiplayer online role-playing game it is a type of game genre. MMORPGs are online role-playing multiplayer games which allow thousands of gamers to play in the game's evolving virtual world at the same time via the Internet. All i can say is for people moaning about not enough solo content or they wish everything was able to enter with 2-4 people . You are killing the genre and not slowly but rapidly. This game released with solo and causal players the main focus and look what happened , Now we have no competition between linkshells nor feeling of accomplishment . 1.21 was a great patch for the game not for the players who have been drooling for something to do imo it was too easy for everything . HNMs with long timers has already to be said never to be seen on FFXIV and all content that would matter would be instance . for the while they plan on adding alliance content but for strong holds where content is good from patch to patch . Not here to crap on the game i have started to enjoy it minus not getting my Ifrit Bow because Yoshida hates me (on-going Joke in Ls) i enjoy it and look foward to getting rid of classes and completely be all jobs . And answering content and giving full detail on MMO content is a thing of the past those who are like me are old relic's of the past

    The genre is changing.

    It failed because it was boring. It is still designed for Casual Players. That's why it is so heavily Instanced. They want people to be able to log in and easily find a party instead of being forced to deal with LS drama & politics. I support Content-Finder (sorry Rokien) ;>P

    <<<<<Rant Warning!>>>>>

    I am tired of this narrow definition of what MMO's are supposed to be. Yes it stands for Massively Multiplayer Online (Game), but there are many types of MMO's out there.

    There are 1st Person Shooters, 3rd Person Action/Adventures, Space Sims, Naval Sims, Flight Sims, Pet Sims, Strategy Games, Puzzle Games, Dance Games, Sports, Racing, Music, even Texas Holdem is an MMO...oh and RPG's.

    However, each of these "genres" has several if not dozens of sub-genres (esp. RPG's). If I were to make a generalization about MMORPG's it would probably be that they contain quests which you can do alone and/or in a group. Every MMORPG I've ever played had a combination of both (FFXI being the exception in that it heavily favored group play).

    In any case, FFXIV is going to be what it becomes. Not a carbon copy of XI, WoW or any other game. Personally, I did not like this game at launch and I barely played during the "extended free trial period". Since 1.20 & esp. 1.21, I am enjoying it very much.

    Now I just need a better LFG option with a Content Finder and I'm ready to PUG when I feel like it and solo when I feel like it.

    They should do both, lower requirements on dungeons while also giving benefits and some penalties for bringing an alliance through. But since it most likely won't happen until 2.0~, may as well just have 6-man/8-man dungeons in the meantime.

    Wouldn't be limited to how many members you could take if it wasn't instanced...just saying.

    Just means they dropped the requirement of a Full Party.
