Why do I have no drive?

Honestly, I doubt I'd be getting much out of this game right now if it weren't for the fact that I'm playing it pretty consistently with a group of friends. Shelving the game until 2.0 hits might not be a bad idea; 1.xx isn't for everyone, they've been pretty clear and open about their design goals for the interim game all along.

Edit: Why can't the game have both easy-to-obtain stuff -and- ridiculously hard and/or grindy stuff like Relics? (And, ideally, a gradient in between the two.) This entire forum is an exercise in strawmen and false dichotomies, and given their limited resources to put into 1.xx, I really don't understand where it's coming from.

All these people and their nostalgia googles.
I can relate to missing certain aspects of XI but stop comparing it all the time with XIV.
You're almost as bad as COD/BF fanboys ._.

Final Fantasy XI (Online) Final Fantasy XIV (Online), you're right it makes no sense as to why comparisons are drawn.

Please Forgive me In Advanced guys. I hate complaining like this. I'm just irritated.
I've been playing since day 1 and the only improvements are really the Speed of the Interactions of NPC's and the menu, with your character.

I just have no interest to keep gathering crap that gets replaced in a month.

This game is so sketchy.

Every other MMO I had no problem with, but Final Fantasy x|v...just isn't doing it for me.

So many contradictions from devs, Yoshi, and what actually gets put in the game.

Square Enix just can't make up their Mind.

We want it to be casual, we want player base to play it all day long, but yet we add stuff they has requirements for every event.

The player base is so small once you pass the majority of everyone already completing it.
You're screwed.

Something it missing from FFx|v I just don't know what it is. Community is garbage. ( I have a good LS don't get me wrong) In general...It feels like I'm in World of Warcraft Trade chat all day long.

Casual =/= instant gratification. Like everyone you have to work for it, it will just take you longer because you are a casual player.
