Technical issues killing an otherwise AVERAGE game...Amazing? wtf

[Lecru]

I don't get how most of you feel this game is so amazing that the server issues are merely a road bump to an amazing experience. Firstly, I'm not quitting...yet, but a lot of my friends are slowly vanishing and I will eventually follow.

How, in any way, is this game revolutionary?

1. 2 1/2 second Global cooldown makes for incredibly boring gameplay.

2. Most classes just spam two moves. It's incredibly scripted. They have more, but its obvious which moves do the most damage, and are critical.

3. Fates give too much XP, and are far from imaginative, just spawn a bunch of otherwise regular mobs, woo!

4. Dungeons have no personality, bosses are stupid easy.

5. All characters look almost exactly the same, as does armor styles.

6. Lack of limit breaks ala FF XI. Wooo, one character gets one overdrive once a dungeon. Whatever happened to cross party skillchains? You know, teamwork?

7. Barely any gear in dungeons, lets fight our way to that chest for a hi-potion (if you're lucky)

8. Annoying quest structure, run here, run there, teleport here, back there, teleport here, back there, etc etc

9. Just too easy in general. Ridiculous easy. It better get at least 2x harder by end game.

So what am I missing? Played Wow, GW2, lotro, EQ 1+2, and I fail to see anything GREAT about this game. It's an average game that stands out because of the developer, which almost went bankrupt from bad decisions.

Okay. Let me help you out here. You dont' like it. Then simply don't play it. Because hey, you can always go back to that wonderful kiddie game WoW where there is no skill that needs to be involved and they hand out high end gear like pieces of chocolate to everyone. Enjoy. Now gtf off the technical support forums.

So FFXIV is NOT a kiddie game? Is that because they allow you and others to curse and spam racist remarks in open world chat? The rest of it is no different than any other "kiddie game"

What exactly makes this "not" a kiddie game?

You know you can enable profanity filters and report filter evasion, right?

One thing I can say WoW has on this easily is the fact that the aoe is responsive compared to this game. It's so slow.. and 1/2 of the time you're hit even when you're so far away it's not even funny.

WoW revolves too much around doing DPS and topping charts(healer or DPS).. but if you look at our forums here.. it's the same thing and there isn't even a meter implemented yet and people are going crazy over highest DPS class.

This game better add in a more responsive system and have a very hard end game raid that gets content added in little by little or it's going to be BORING.

No MMO requires too much advance skills other than heroic/hard modes. If you've raided and completed hardmodes in current content in WoW... log on and let's compare. I'm curious to see these people's that say WoW's so easy character. I doubt half of them even raided heroic mode in current content. Most people can't do it.
