BS what they have planned atm simply isnt enough they are moving tooooo slow with too few of the real issues being addressed 1st... screw companys, fix the damn class system and battle system make it where you can have exp partys with your friends.
Doing leves to you reach the limit then crafting till they repop is freakin weak, i havent seen any difference with devo team changes or producer its the same crap... they are ignoring the fans and doing their own thing

SE just had a poll for the combat system and class uniqueness is being worked on as we speak, did you not catch that?
They even said, in two months they plan to roll out the battle changes, i don't understand what you're complaining about.

Stop being impatient, they're literally working on what you're talking about as we speak. You've seen the polls, the letters from the developer, they are absolutely NOT ignoring the fans. In fact, they're paying closer attention to them than most of the developers of the games you regularly play.
It's the fans who keep giving them mixed signals, so many people asking different things that usually conflict with each other, it can't be easy having a bunch of impatient players who feel entitled to CREATING the game for some reason.

If anything, they should start ignoring the fans a little, maybe then they could focus on what they think would be best, instead of gathering ideas from fans who don't even really know what they want in the first place.

Your post, I agree with, but I'm going to have to nit pick just a tad.It reads that they were (at the time of the interview) releasing battle changes during these next upcoming patches over the span of two months. Not in two months. Of course, that is all delayed now.

Back on topic, yes, there is a lot out there to contend with offline and online, but the point of it is to point out that there are possibly superior games coming. In the end, what is it all for? To discourage what FFXIV can be when all of the patches are cohesive in the end and it goes to pay to play? I understand what the OP is trying to do, but is he in or is he out? The answer is obvious.

He has a right to bring up these issues, but you have to look at the circumstance. FFXIV is at the inferior status currently compared to what is out there. The new development team is trying to correct this and no one knows if it will be corrected or if it wont be. Just have to wait and see before you pass judgments. Doing it now could very well be pointless when all the plans are implemented. I am cautious just like the rest of you guys, but I choose to not be the loud mouth in the end eating his words.
