I don't think anyone considers Stronghold burns or AOE facerolls to be "exp parties".

I've yet to meet anyone who legitimately enjoys low level XP Parties. Anyone that says otherwise is just "Yearning for the old days like XI was." It's an outdated ideology, and just needs to go in order for FFXIV to grow from a business standpoint.

I did when you had 15 people killing a crab that took a few minutes to kill, that was fun.

Out of all those 12 people, I'm the only one that returned to the game after we all quit. Pretty sure none of us considered that fun.

I think I'll stay with the fact that while I don't want AoE fests such as Natalan to exist, please don't make my character feel like a gimped fighter that can't even kill a crab by himself to progress.

They didn't stop because it took 12 people to kill a crap, they quit because there was nothing else, very buggy game.

either way we have new additions and changes each patch, they increasingly become more in depth and worth while. Looking at some of what their hopes are for 2.0 I feel very comfortable in thinking we have nothing to worry about. Yoshi has been doing amazing, along with his team all gunning to see each and every one of us happy. Realistically that can't happen, can't please everyone.. but I think we are looking at something that's going to be pretty close to just that. What little their was in this game from CE release day 1, when I started this game, up till now.. so much has changed and been added that its nice to just take a step back and say "wow". I always had hoped this game would mirror ffxi, a FFXI +1 if you would say, but looking at whats planned I'm happy. Time to sit back and let them do their work, don't look for too many major changes from here on till 2.0 Then the fireworks start!!

As it stands mobs in general aren't really designed for "Exp" party setups they die quick, are generally boring, and only efficiently killed in massive groups.

No wonder nodody likes them as it is. I don't think that's what people are asking for. Business standpoint can go where the sun doesn't shine as far I am concerned. I want the game to be fun for me, I don't really care what John Doe sais about the game he can say his peice and I will say mine.

At the end of the day it's up to the developers but it wont stop me from voicing my concern because I'm sure they enjoy my money as much as the next guy...you know from a "Business standpoint".

Players on the forums need to stop acting like we know whats good for business, I'm not even certain why the hell we should care what will "Attract the most subscriptions!" We on the forums should be voicing our opinions on what we would find fun, not what we think would be appealing.
