What's the point of ranks?

[viion]

viion if u hate ffxiv so much, why are u here? same goes to everone else. sorry but if you find 99% of the game boring, Id just quit. Chances are, nothing added will even please you and your taking up unnessisary space.

For those hating 99% of what ffxiv has, maybe another game is more your style. And you should consider that. There really needs to come to a point where ppl gotta just move on. Your not helping the game out, and chances are you will never be pleased.

And as for xi gear. Single pieces barely did anything. To see any difference you had to stack it. Just because one piece may not make you "uberleet" using it in combination of gear will flesh it out. And honestly gear should never be the end all be all. It get dull seeing everyone in the same gear.

I'm here because I want the game to change, and so do others. As you can see those that disliked the game have gone and this has what made the playerbase go from hundreds of thousands instantly down to a a few thousand of what we have. SE is a business, they want profit, so they want to bring back players who left, hell they've admitted this themselves lmao its quite pathetic "maybe those playing now can tell their friends to come back" so even SE want the people that gave up, to come back.

And because those players dont come back and express their feelings, that are pure-gone players, money lost for SE. I dont believe in just giving up, I know this game has potential, it doesnt right now but if enough people express their feelings maybe SE will eventually do something good. XI took a long time to become good and it only became good due to forums and people expressing their opinion.

As for playing another game, I am. I went back to XI now im 50 on XIV, I also play TERA now and then but ultimately im waiting on the eu/us release for that as there will be new servers.

Also quest based levelling is not bad. A lot prefer it as you're always doing different thigns and constantly moving around. I'd much prefer it over guildleves (which btw is just identical except you're pinned to a few quests and pinned to 1 location)
