Annoying things about FFXIV

[Luso]

These are just a few things that seem to make the game annoying and tedious.

These are things that I find annoying about this game. I would like to know if the community also has anything about the game that makes it less fun and more of a chore.

Point allocation:
This is incredibly annoying for me. Having to place and adjust points when I level or choose to change a class. The game is allowing for easy class changing, but its ridiculous going from melee to mage without having to reallocate points. Personally I would like to see this completely gone from the game and just have a standard stat/rank for each job.

This brings me to another question I have for players. Do you care for the physical level. For me it seems rather pointless. I honestly would be much happier if I woke up tomorrow and it was no longer in game.

Fatigue:
I personally like fatigue because it allows me to try out the other classes in the game as well. However, changing classes gets annoying because of the point allocation I mentioned above, so it can get tedious.

Item rank requirement:
Wearing higher rank/non-optimal class gear should come with greater penalties. Faster degradation of the gear is not much of a deterrence of using higher ranked gear. It is more realistic the fact that you can wear almost anything, but without the proper skill to use it (optimal rank requirement) why should you get so much of a benefit from an item. Instead it should be a negative effect the farther you are from the rank, and not even apply a bonus. There are tremendous benefits making players buy more pieces of gear as they level then just getting gear every 10-20 ranks.
Personal experience, used a rank 38 axe until I could buy a lower rank one for cheaper. I didn't suffer much consequences for doing that and it is easy to repair an item with the amount of gil in the game.

Lack of transportation:
Everyone is waiting for chocobos and airships. One day they will be here, but at the moment its annoying to only have to rely on teleporting and running. If behest starts in 5 minutes, I wouldn't mind riding a chocobo out to the location rather than wasting my Anima. Plus if I teleported out there I would have 5 minutes of standing around waiting for the warden to show up.

Gil and the economy:
It seems that there are not enough sinks in the game and there is so much gil floating in the economy. This could possibly be fixed with introduction of more content later.


I personally enjoy many aspects of this game, and I think the development team is doing a great job keeping this game going. Having played FFXI and other FF titles I know square is capable of creating great games. However, I think the game still needs many changes before it can be worthy of being a current generation MMO. Hopefully they are able to fix this game in time before people drop out of it from boredom (or annoyingness)

Hmm..

1. Serverside interface.

It's just, not efficient when its unoptimized.

2. Community.

Not everyone is bad, but the cynicism is just astonishing, especially if you dare bring up anything about Square's other MMOs or games.

30002 error. I have never had so many disconnect issues in a single game. And I've played FFXI and WoW, connection does not drop out like crazy in either of those games.

1 balance out stats cuz point is to switch on the fly and cross class skills, playing this game as ffxi is why ppl do not get the system

2 is getting removed at somepoint


I do notice a power difference in my ranks when it comes to Physical level.
The issue with the point allocation is people are trying to play classes like how other mmo do it. (ffxi or WoW) when it isn't the case. The class names stem from the weapons, tools, magic you use. They are not like jobs in ffxi or classes in WoW, or (insert mmo here) Personally I saw no difference between min/maxing (i tried it on a seperate character of the same set up) and balancing out my stats.

Honestly ppl seem to forget base stats do not have much meaning. And that real power was from the gear. This is like that in any mmo.

But it does make the game annoying and tedious.

Have it happen during your leves.
