This game has WAY bigger issues than some server problems.

If we did, we would be playing ET for the ATARI 2600.

What's the difference between what he has suggested and the points made in this thread? Roiken has said all of this and more.

Exactly, and this thread makes a lot of points that are completely out of touch with reality, exactly like Rokien.

I agree on item design. Aesthetically speaking they look great but everything is simply +2 more of previous stat. It's super boring and adds nothing to the gameplay.

FF games are not based on WOW-like stats where players get asinine stats like 100ks HPs, the combat mechanics in FFs don't rely on mega-stupid numbers. +1, +2 are there to pander to the mix/maxers, which is great, the game doesn't rely no your having HQ gear or GTFO, unlike WOW etc.

I don't believe that's the point. Adding +1 or +2 to a stat is perfectly fine to keep the numbers low. What is not fine, and quite frankly boring (in my opinion of course) is when that's all the stat an item contains. "Hurray! Armor! This breastplate with 50 def and 7 vit is far superior to the previous breastplate of 49 def and 6 vit". What the thread hints at are enhancements to JAs, to JTs, to combat strategy, not simply "STR good. Add STR".
Hypothetical example: a choice between random linen hat that has 10 MND for cnjr, or Whm AF that has 8 MND, 20 mp, and 'enhances cure potency'. One is boring, the other is not.

I agree with a lot of the things OP said. Also I'd like to just add this. In P2 we were told to wait til P3 by the white knights. In P3 when the same issues presented them selves we were told to wait til P4. During P4 when everything was going to crap with the 90k's and the 3102's, the white knights said "OMG be quiet this is still beta wait til release". Now that we are at early RELEASE those same white knights are screaming to wait til 'actual release'. Let me ask you this, my dearest white knights, when all the issues that you all managed to kill, with your thread trolling hate, are still present what will you say then? "ohh wait til the first patch"?

I'm having a great time in game with ANC, that was today as I was able to get in game which I doubt will be the case tomorrow. I haven't had this much fun in an MMO for a long time.

I've been having issues with the duty finder and it actually finding anything for about 4 hours straight now...
