Why is FFXIV so unpopular?

[Seif]

I didn't pay much attention to the game until recently and decided to not listen to all the talk and see for myself what's up w/ the game. To my surprise , I really like it, ver.1.23b, and am having a ton of fun getting prepped for ARR. Wish I wwould have started a bit sooner tbh.

I think most people were like me and just heard it was bad and skipped the game. It's hard to resist when everywhere you read that a game is horrible.

That being said... they really, really, really need to implement a proper AH. It's an entire part of the game that I can't even partake in because all the wards are full. That really is some 1st class BS.

Good luck with that.

Majority of the community every single review site and tons of people who already left want it too.
However SE is keeping the wards.
Go figure.
