My thoughts on FF14

[gifthorse]

I just don't understand what's stopping them from letting you purchase from the point where you can view all retainers listing that item and price. And what's stopping them from moving that feature to a more convenient location? I logged in a few days ago to notice I had to travel to Ul'dah to find anything in the wards since it seemed most of the population moved there.

It's so they don't have to admit wasting so many hours of work over a feature they will render obsolete with an auction house. And anyway, the market wards are only sparsely populated in other regions because of the low player population. People flock to Uldah because the population is too low to warrant people having their retainers in LL and Grid.

Even if they implemented an auction house, I am quite sure SE wouldn't make it global. Like FFXI, SE would likely keep the auction houses restricted to each city.

Well I can only agree that gil is pretty worthless, since it is constantly created with not too many ways (and the ways there are arent used that often) to remove it from the game. Everything else.... meh

I like the Market Wards, I just think that it needs to be easier to search for items in the menu.

I like Chocobos, but I like the fact that FFXIV isn't the same as the other FF's even more. I'd rather have a new type of mount TBH.

I'd like mailboxes, but they aren't really necessary to enjoy the game...the only thing I think they would be used for it long-distance trading...I've played numerous MMO's that have mailboxes, and they were only used for 2 things: Long-distance trading and spamming.

Maybe I dislike that gil is useless but I haven't experienced such so far. I've been able to find myself fairly cheap low-mid level equipment so far (10-15k) and make decent money by selling shards. The economy probably isn't too great, but it's a lot better than the RMT-run FFXI economy.

Well FF is FF. you will have your chocobo in a FF. There is just a story behind why we dont have them (talk to the chocobo NPC's for their 2/3 sentence stories). I cant think of a final fantasy that doesn't have a chocobo in it besides the FIRST FF games ever.

This thread is reaaaally innovative. Even the title!

I wish they had a mailbox system just so I can mail items between my myself and my mule.

Breaking News: Water is wet!

Seriously, how many of you people are going to post the exact same crap over and over, like all of us are dying for your "unique" insight into the games current situation. Unless you can actually bring something new to the table just stick to the discussion in the many posts on this same subject matter that came long before yours.

This may come as a startling revelation to many of you, but not everyone wants FFXI-2 or to just straight copy every other MMO out there and I hope the SE dev team can look past simple fan service and maybe actually bring a little something different to this game.

Not everyone scours the message board. Ever think he posted this because he has yet to see it?

I think it's safe to assume that we aren't all infant children blind to the flaws prevailing throughout the game. Also they have a forum search at the top of the page, I know all those unique butterflies can't be bothered with such nonsense as posting in other peoples topics however. How will Yoshi see my opinions! How I feel about the game?! ME ME ME, what about what I want?

In all seriousness thought, reading these forums must be the most demoralizing thing they could do to themselves. No matter how hard they work or how little sleep they might get, they will never be able to make such a polarized player base happy on all fronts.

I agree with wobi ppl posting the same thing over and over again no one cares we know what wrong if you dislike it then quit bro no one stoping you.

To the OP : COOL STORY BRO
