my leet senses detect a troll, and a brain-damaged one at that. It isn't possible to create an immersive game world without lore, the game hasn't been out for a year, there are achievments in the game, and if you ever bothered to check your profile's history, you'd know this. Your "best advice" to the devs is complete and total garbage, FFXIV is not Rift, Aion or WoW, it is not trying to be, for which I am quite thankful. (originality will never die!) AH is no longer needed, mail box is a luxery, though will probably be implented, UI adjustments take time to do, as they must not interfere w other aspects of the UI. If they gave every single weapon, armor, and accessory thier own unique look, the memory requirements would be large enough that you would be screaming about that in your rant. It is already possible to solo and form parties, and is ultimately the player's choice. They will add new areas in time (I've already found at least one zone for a future area.) Graphics? again, FFXIV, not Rift, Aion, or WoW. You don't want xiv to fail? Sounds more like you want the game to be converted into WoW2, which is certainly a failure.

If you are seriously that butthurt about playing this game, the only suggestion I can make to you is to go back to WoW, or one of it's clones, as you will never be satisfied with this game, it's content, or community.
