Another potentially awesome game does down the drain..

[SolviteSekai]

If these forums are anything to go by, this game will soon suffer the fate of all other mmos I've played in the last 4 years.

1. People start playing mmo, game does great.
2. People run out of content.
3. Some people start complaining.
4. Half the playerbase starts complaining.
5. People say "Fine then just leave."
6. Game dies/Goes F2P and begs me to come back on facebook.

Why can't we just have an mmo that is designed to last longer than 3 months?

I'm at the point where I'm scared to log in because all my time will be wasted anyway.

I'd like to see you try and make a game that lasts for 3 months when there are people playing 16 hours a day.

There's a fault with this.

All jokes aside, game developers are professionals. Your post there is like someone complaining about average mpg of today's cars and you replying "I'd like to see you build a car.". That's not on them to build a car, they purchased one from professionals who work at this all day long for years.

Sorry, Fate grinding is the worst thing I've experienced in an MMO. Party grinding and Quest grinding (save for TERA's which hit a new low) are better than fates. At 50 cap there's soooo shockingly little to do. You can blame me for hitting 50 quickly, but MMO companies know there are players that will. They don't want to dilly dally on random jobs, they knew what job they'd be playing before they installed the game and they want to hit level cap.

Since this can't be shocking news to anyone who considers themselves part of the gaming industry, they need to properly brace for that.

So you don't want to play because other people are complaining about the game? Did I read that right?

Game released less than a month ago... It takes time.

Technically any time put into a game is wasted time. No one gains anything from it but entertainment. If your not playing for entertainment then your probably playing games for the wrong reason.

Dollar for dollar you can't find a cheaper entertainment imo. Play for fun and the moment and if it fails it fails if it does not it does not. Eventually all good things come to an end.

Technically one day we will all die, so life is pointless.

FF11 even at the start didn't end, regardless of how much you play, I did not play vanilla WoW but I heard it was basically the same, regardless if you agree with it, endgame needs to be focused around hardcores considering we are the ones doing it, the rest just wait for nerfs so they can pick up the scraps and pray to god LS's release guides for them to use then later bash those same people.

I did not play vanilla WoW but I heard it was basically the same.

WoW, SWToR, Rift, GW2, etc all had PvP at launch either free form open world and or instanced/objective based venues at launch so that kept me going when PvE became a boring, repetitious slog. There is no PvP here and what's coming to 2.1 looks to be nothing more than a 4v4 wow arena which does not appeal to me in the least. If there was AV, Warsong Gulch, Huttball, etc right now...I'd be doing that right now to pass the time. After running AK 100+ times, it's getting the point I dread logging in. That is not a good sign after 1 month if you ask me. I mean there isn't even any dedicated lvl 50 only zones here either so open world is lacking as well. I pray 2.1 is all that other wise I will more than likely drop my sub. No big deal if many others do the same thing, right?

With most people that's true. However there are a few special people who the muse speaks to through myth, art, movies, and yes even video games... which allows 'participation mystique'. All it takes is one such special person to make the game more than just a game. I am such a person.
