GC dissapointment

[Breladine]

I'm not whining.. this is a legitimate complaint.

You may be issuing a complaint you feel is valid, and I'd never poo-poo on that, but you did so in the most whiniest of manners, so yes you are in fact whining. You're freaking out over next to nothing.

And don't try to preach to me about MMO either... I have been online gaming for Years, and have participated in battles alongside over a thousand people at once for the same objective, so it's nothing new to me.. but even then that same game has gave me years of enjoyable solo content aswell while not ever once telling me I had to be in a group or no go for you.

inb4 "Not another WoW clone" (Edit: and I've been in the MMO system on various games for a decade now, as an adult)

Final Fantasy MMO has always been a different beast and FFXI proved that by having a system where people essentially "had" to party but still holding a large enough customer base to make it successful. I had a great time in FFXI despite having to party basically constantly to get where I needed to go and complete what we all needed to complete. Was I looking forward to perhaps being able to level solo in FFXIV? Sure.. and SE delivered. But the fact that there is still content that "forces" us to find other people to get together with is actually a part of the game I'm glad stuck around.. every MMO is different and you just have to suck it up.

I don't even think an MMO storyline should necessarily be able to be completed 100% solo. If you want a game where you can go through storyline aspects without ever talking to another human being, there's this thing out there called a PS3 and an XBox that I'm told have an entire library of items requiring absolutely no human interaction whatsoever.

Sorry but I don't sympathize at all.
