History repeats itself

Valkurn dunes is something that brings a smile in most of us who played the game and most of us will have a memory or a story to tell about it...

I dont know about you, but my memories of valkrum dunes are far from being good. It was a pain in the butt. Hair ripping. I think every FFXI player has equally good and bad momories. Same as i do now in FFXIV. Give ARR a chance before jumping to those conclusions.

SE please stop trying to attract the unfriendly and game sucking community of WOW and the game jumpers (...)
Bring back the old community and watch how we will make the unfriendly and game suckers become part of the good community and stay in it for years ...

So SE somehow have the power to conjure up communities out of thin air ? You are correct in saying that the current community will be shaping the new, but before you can have communities, you need a pool of players to start with. Large enough to account those who wont stay. Now you're just putting the cart before the horse.

SE does not make communities. Thats what we players do. SE can only help and support their creation and evolution.

I personally take FFXIV and SE's vision as a successful MMO as kick in the balls to all the FFXI players... hardcore and casuals that spent so much time, money and loyalty on the game...

PS: Please I dnt want to hear the "go play FFXI then" bc FFXI is not FFXI anymore...
and what ARR is showing is all the opposite of what a friendly and respectful community needs...

Could you expand on that ? After reading it a couple times, it still feels like a baseless complaint. Every sentence from your post seems disconected from any main idea or constructive suggestion.
