Thread: 2.0 Leveling

Everyone keeps saying Yoshi is smart for copying WoW. Well, that game is so last decade. If Yoshi was smart he would A) be original or B) copy a current generation MMO.

Smart in Boobygunz eyes, not the community.

I think if you canvass the MMO community, these days people aren't much enamoured by WoW anymore. Everywhere you look on MMO sites, people are raving about GW2, and ArcheAge, B&S and other such games which are being innnovative with the MMO platform.

The hype surrounding FFXIV 2.0 is sustained right now on promises that things might get better. But so far nobody has really seen proof of that. If it turns out that FFXIV is just WoW with FFXIV's graphics, it might very well happen that people aren't so hyped about FFXIV 2.0 as you so fervently believe.

If their's no proof of anything, then their really shouldn't be complaining till such proof exists. In August we will know all the Information we will need to know about the game.. and then this discussion can resume once again.

They have no reason to remove leveling by exploring the world and killing what is in it, and I am hoping they are not nerfing it to where Solo Questing > Group grinding... or they have screwed up like so many other mmos have.

They should of just added many different ways to level, not force the community into one method.

A WoW clone is the quickest way to end XIV, because there is simply no way this game can out mainstream GW2, Tera, ToR, and WoW:Panda Land. They will get few ppl who will stay and will lose what they already have.

A mmo is about community and SE needs to realize this... People are not going to give them time at 2.0 to fix this if they screw up that fundamental concept.

I'm telling you right now, FFXIV 2.0 will still have Monsters to kill, in an interview back at E3 there was a question as to why there were no monsters? Yoshi-P said they aren't hooked up to any Server so there is nothing be the Character and the surrounding area with no monsters. ( this was when Yoshi-P was on his Laptop showing to the people behind closed doors of 2.0 in its early stages).

There will be Monsters Roaming to kill like normal, just they are adding other means of getting exp besides grinding on mobs all day long. For the people that can't tolerate doing the same thing over and over again.

1.0 has been after the Battle changes was Grind off monsters.. Jobs=Party or why bother making jobs?
