ffxi vet here to. I read everything you wrote. And everytime you say something you refer to WoW. I never mentioned it. You also are acting like I'm a casual player, which is again not true. And the reason why your being a bit rude is you can't look past yourself. You want to chase any casual player away like they have the plague.

Start looking beyond yourself. People have time limitation for various reasons. Which I got ffxi, I ended up getting hit with a 2hr time limit. I had to not only share the ps2 with my younger brother, but i also got forced to share my ffxi account with him. My parents were also under the impression 2 hours is more then enoygh time to play a game.

I loved ffxi minus the needless time consuming parts. After i was able to get a ps2 and my own wireless router and the means to use it on my ps2. I had more play time. I also spent most of my play time doing nothing but waiting. Waiting to get missions done, waiting to get a party, waiting to form a party, waiting till people gathered.
