Thats just it, there's nothing there in my opinion. Trust me, I tried. I tried really hard. The entire experience is miserable because its boring, uninspired, and uneventful. Combat was boring before the combo system, still boring outside of primal fights and bosses. I've never enjoyed partying in this game, except ONE time where it was kinda fun just cuz of the ppl. If there was something there, I'd be happy to do it. But there just isn't. It needs to be worked on, fixed, whatever needs to happen before I can justify going through the trials and tribulations. I dont disagree about your view, I just disagree that there's something there right now. If I hadn't been PLed when I had, I would've quit this game a long time ago. And you know what? Quite a lot of new players would too, and have. Its bad right now, and I cannot justify going through a long and painful experience just to *maybe* reap some reward or satisfaction in the end.

After all, we're not talking about a complete game here. Whatever its condition, though, a game is supposed to be fun. That is the first step to having a good experience. If something is not fun, at all, there's no way in hell I'm going to do it for hundreds of hours. I've never PLed before in my life, but XIV forced my hand...it was just too boring for me to do otherwise. If they fix the crap inbetween 1 and 50, I will wholeheartedly jump on your anti-PL ship. But really I don't care either way, I think ppl should play a game in a way that allows them to enjoy it. If you prefer endgame, pl to endgame. If you like to learn and grow over a journey, take that journey. I do think if a game fails to provide that journey, however, that they have no right to expect ppl to play through it, especially if they're paying money. And imo, SE failed to deliver for now.
