this new game director producer does not know what he is doing.

NM's pop as fast as regular mobs and appear to have a 100% drop rate.
100% drop rate? Stop complaining in the forums and try to kill one.

Parties are awarded an automatic buff when formed.
And this is a bad thing because...

just did an 8 man behest and it ended about 10 meters where it started from. mobs were zerged to death once again.
So you did a behest with a full party and you won. Again, this is bad because...¿?

Took away collision detection from player to player for no reason.
I'm sure they woke up someday and said "Hey! let's take out collision detection!"

Wasted time enlarging mobs.
I'm sure that took them years of develpment time.

Announced instance dungeons over open battles.
Because when the dungeon was anounced it also said that we would not have open battles right? I wonder were did Yoshi-P said that...

No mention of camp and pull zones.
Why the hell would we want that? If you want to spend months in a single spot killing the exact same monster then go ahead and play FFXI, there's a bunch of tucans waiting for you.

Market wards still in game.
Since the search function was implemented I like the wards, It could be a bit more stable tho.

Pointless economic model still in place.
Explain this?

no risk vs. reward system in the world.
Because every time we lvled down in XI we had so much fun.

world still copy / pasted.
Completely redesigning and creating the current zones can be done in a couple months right?

No mention of getting rid of the teleportation & anima garbage.
You want to walk? walk all you want.

LOL

I'd love for him to explain this too. I suppose this dude wants a socialist economy because apperantly inflation is rampant and thus things are expensive... boo hoo

I'd love to see him present an alternative... I won't be expecting much though, but I can stand for a few good laughs.

gill is too easily obtained. prices are insanely inflated from the start. $10,000 for an npc starter axe? why can't it be $1,000 like in ffxi? oh right, stupid inflation due to easy money thrown at you in quests.

there is no point crafting and selling lower level gear since everyone will be running around with gear of higher levels that look nicer. gear penalties due to rank is negligable since the damn game is so easy already. the ability to play dress up doll with your man cats because you can wear any item at any level further undermines crafting.

the lack of an AH prevents price discovery. no one knows what to set a price for anything since they don't have references or history data. it hurts crafters. the fact that the game does everything it can to forbid active socializing by not having a large central market structure (AKA; AUCTION HOUSE!) that players can gather around to trade at further undermines a healthy and active economy.

it should be a challenge and a timesink to accumulate wealth and gear. it is the fundemental goal that every player seeks when playing an mmo. instead all we got is a system that has no avenue to TAKE your money. you don't need to buy spells, for example. in the end you just end up hoarding your cash because there is hardly anything to spend it on.....but i guess this is a good thing for you casual players because god forbid anything that slows down your progression to a meaningless end game level!

i guess today's kids want nothing more than to race to end game and anything challenging be it economic, time-based, or sandbox element, is a bad bad thing! how pathetic!

did this answer satisfy your curiosity? would you like me to explain in detail all my other VALID POINTS?

+1 for this.
Nonconstructive whining is like trolling, please take a walk outside and go play something else.
Final Fantasy XIV should not be what keeps you alive, it is entertainment. Deal with the negative aspects of the game, submit constructive criticism or play another game (just like you would with any offline game).
