Fighting Desperately...

Andrien, I just want to say your 'signature' compels me to totally neglect what is said in each of your posts, and makes it very hard to read the next post without scrolling back up for another peek. Hey, at least my priorities are straight.

One of the many reasons I went to Japan at 17 years old besides Karate training and married a Japanese woman.

Nothing better to do then rant on a forum about a game you're losing interest in. I blame you for 2012

For god's sake... you're going to have people complain about FFXI and FFXIV no matter which way the devs go towards. What you people don't realize and some postings have tried to make it clear is that when WE NA PEOPLE started playing... it was already on it's first expansion. Give the damn game some time and stop complaining so much. If you don't like it, then wait for the first real expansion because right now we're only in a 2.0 beta play.

As far as difficulty, I guarantee you guys that most of you have not even 5 chest both dungeons. So why don't you try to do that before you start talking about difficulty. AF was easy in FFXI just like it was on here so stop complaining.

A better point, as far as difficulty, would be to ask: Did you cap all your battlecraft jobs in 2 months? Did you cap every class in the game in 5 months or less? Did you complete all the AF quests in 2 days or less?

This may come as a shock to you, but timesink does not equal difficulty.

At work, very bored, and really would like to stay in an active world where the mere fact of all I've accomplished is the only thing holding me back.

18+ months is not enough time? Guarantee that who hasn't done 5 chest runs? Challenge was only one of the multiple qualities I insisted the game lacked, and yet many are bouncing on it like a pogo-stick while conveniently negating the rest. Have a trampoline instead, it's far more engaging.

I don't really recall many AF1 pieces that simply required you to accept the quest, go to X spot on the map, and retrieve your reward. Hell, not only is that the case in this game, but also numerous instances where other pieces are in the same area!

I guess it does to a certain degree. If mobs are more difficult to kill, of course it going to take you longer to reach max level.

Combined with the amount of relative EXP you gained killing those mobs.

All I can say is if you want to play xi and think its still the same game you are going to be crushed. I reactivated xi a month ago cause my siblings wanted me to. I kid you not 2 days is all I could take and I was completely BORED, lol. It is NOT the same game anymore, like if you think this game is easy, xi is worse imo. I went from 64 dancer to 80 in the 2 days I was playing. I'm not kidding I was like wth?

If you're not having fun with this game don't force yourself to play it because you really want it to work out. you're just gonna hate it even more if you do that. Just take a little break, reactivate xi if you REALLY want to play it. But just telling you, it's not the same game AT ALL. Total God mode now and not really in a fun way.

I'm sure after 18 months, they would've came out with an expansion if the release didn't go as bad. It was already clear that the release of FFXIV was horrible and they are working to fix it. I'm just tired of you nerds getting excited when new content comes out and you thank the developers for the "hard" dungeons, and when you figure out the strategy, you complain some more. If you don't like the game then quit... go play WoW or Rift or Tera. You want a closed beta key, ill give you one. That will show you EASY for a game.
