    For real?

    Seriously SE, I love FF and always will but this is just...BORING! I love the fact that you guys are tweaking the UI and such, but we need some content. And I don't just mean "end-game" stuff. Put some low lvl things in there. Lvling by grinding rabbits and dodos until lvl 2- ish was like pulling teeth! Behest is so easy its a freakin joke. While the Story quests every 10 lvls are great, it's hard to stay interested for 10 lvls.

    I've read that you plan on putting out some dungeons, but what are the level ranges?
    40+? Lower?

    One more thing that I find myself cursing every time I log in..the party search function.. it has little to NO functionality. No one even bothers to use it. A basic Billboard setup like FFXI would work a lot better IMO.

    This game has come along way since launch and I applaud your efforts, but UI tweaks and NMs are only little things compared to what was lacking in the first place. If I have to grind for 8 hrs a day, let me grind with 5 other lifeless drones, such as myself, so I can at least share my suffering with others.

    AND WHERE ARE GIANT CHICKENS!?

    Well the current patch was supposed to change monster distributions again, added some 20 Nms with some decent unique equip drops for mid range ranks, added a decent amount of normal side quests and the start of company content. So I think we're moving right along at a nice rate now.

    Go kill the brand new NMs. They're all low rank.

    Hows that? A few of those monsters are pretty big, and tough for low rank (25-35) NMs

    Bigger changes need more time.
    Not only for developing but also to check them propperly befor.

    I like the content (qualitiy, size) we are getting now very much. Especially knowing that bigger changes are on their way, too.

    Patience patience. The huge changes they're doing take time to make, and perhaps as importantly to QA so they're not horridly imbalanced. I think if they did proper QA in the first place the game wouldn't have come out in the state it did, so QA is not to be underestimated.

    If it's to be believed Wada (the president of Square) reportedly once said that significantly less QA was needed for MMOs because the players would 'do it for them'. Let's hope if he DID say that he's since changed his mind with the kind of cold reception FF14 got.

    I'm glad they're doing incremental updates though (it means less crap has the potential to go boom) it probably makes debugging considerably easier.

    While you're complaining about the super easy every 36 hr, 2-3 hours a day leve grind for a 50 in about 4-6 weeks
    those of us that are 50 and have killed every NM a few dozen or more times, are finding ourselves having nothing to do but
    level other classes that we neither need actions from or care about.
    Honestly, if there is no 50 content then no one has anything to look forward to, or any reason to bother leveling to 50

    End game content gives those that are lower rank something to look forward to, and gives those that are there something to do other than wait for some word of reason to return to the game
    Middle and low level content only gives people enough reason to level to that range, and drives away the players that have nothing to do at max level. You can't honestly say that you would be hapy with a max level character if you had absolutely nothing to do. Had nothing to gain, and making money or leveling crafts was completely pointless because you have all the best gear already.
