The only way I would play FFXI again

in Final Fantasy XI
1. New rateing system so you can tell which monsters can be soloed (you should also be able to solo for exp. to get the .2% that you can never get when you die and delevel)



2. Fix the auction houses and bizzars. I like the idea that players control the economey but people push it too far, there should be limits.



3. Tone down the damn expansion quests! I got my expansion late and I got stuck with abuncha retards that couldnt play. They only good people that would help were the ones that wanted me to pay them real money to do the quest.



4. do something about NM botters. Increase the drop rate and prevent people form killing the same NM more then a few times a day.



5. Kill the gill sellers! the solution is simple, sell gill on POL. Offer it for lower then that gill sellers do. Make it not worth the gill sellers time to bot and ruin the game for the rest of us.



6. lower the price! its freeking old! The cost fo server upkeep has gone down! Dont tell me it hasnt cuz it has! All the tech costs have gone down so bring the price down! Or at least make a graphical! If im paying 15$ a month I want my game to look next gen! I didnt buy a 3000$ computer to play outdated games.

    1. You shouldn't need the level of the mob handed to you to know if you can solo it or not. FFXI is a game of experience. A RDM with good timing can solo things a player with poor timing can not. Different classes can kill different mobs solo due to their abilities etc. Learn the game and you won't have issues estimating if you can solo somethign or not.

    2. Economies don't need limits. You learn how the eocnomy works and play with it and make plenty of income. Or get a group together to BCNM on a regular basis.

    3. Make friends. (this would most likely also be a useful skill for you in real life from your posts)

    4. People will always camp spawns. In fact they do it in your favorite game WoW (for crusader enchantment, prophet texts, summoning rings all sorts of things). This is a semi legitiment gripe, but ever since the CoP release the need for NM camping has gone down a fair amount as more higher end sellable BCNM drops became similar or equivilent. You get half a gold star.

    5. Go play on an exchange EQ2 server and you will delete this comment entirely.

    6. Graphics look great with a few commonly known tweeks on my system (over rendering etc) maybe you just don't like the art style?

    7. Stop spamming the boards. You hate SE we get it.

    Simple solution for NM campers would be to make the drops non-tradeable. That way, if you want the item, you go and get it. And if you don't need it you won't go looking for it.



    Hmm maybe thats too easy. Why haven't they done this?

    Most are already and were before CoP even. The ones that are seriously camped are often for quest items like opo-opo crown or drop crafting materials which wouldn't work well untradable.

    Do your utility rates go down every year?

    Do you make less each year and/or ask your Boss for less pay?

    Why would you spend $3,000.00 dollars on a PC so you can play FFXI which was designed to run on the PS1..then complain about the graphics?

     

    Show me where tech support costs have gone down in Japan....bandwith maybe a little cheaper since FFXI was launched...but most everything associated with FFXI has gone up.

    I'm sure the developers care they lost one customer. They will certainly abide to all of your needs, to make you happy!

    Well the only thing that i believe needs to change a bit is the amount of money given by quests and such and maybe making the controls a little easier, since most of the gamers these days are used to the WASD + mouse routine.

    Still though i doubt you need an indicator if a mob can be soloed or not, since above all especially in FF it is highly based on many factors.

    I mean for example with a 42 paladin i can solo 48 mob while with the same level BLM i get killed on the same mob.

    As for RMT's well i blame the fools that buy the money they sell.

    A friend is not him who provides support during your failures.A friend is the one that cheers you during your successes.

    FFXI is not nor will it ever be a solo game, get over it or move on.



    2. Fix the auction houses and bizzars. I like the idea that players control the economey but people push it too far, there should be limits.

    There is a limmit, as in you can only put i believe 7 items on AH at a time. I am one for just having bazaars (like EQ)



    3. Tone down the damn expansion quests! I got my expansion late and I got stuck with abuncha retards that couldnt play. They only good people that would help were the ones that wanted me to pay them real money to do the quest.

    There is nothing wrong with the quests. In fact the expansion content Nation / ZM / CoP missions is what makes this game so much better and imo the best PVE game on the market... FFXI is the leader and no other company other then maybe CoH comes close to this.



    4. do something about NM botters. Increase the drop rate and prevent people form killing the same NM more then a few times a day.

    Well, a lot of stuff is no trade / no sell... all those little NM's (IE Lizzy , VE etc). Issue with bots is in the kings, (B,F,A). Im a DRK and I am done with Dragons Aery, not interested in trying to hurt the game... For me its easier to get a haub+1 and just work on my Homams set... which is better then that purple crap anyhow. Sea and Salvage for me, a DRK really is what the game is about. When my alt (ninja) gets 75 ill probably switch my main in dynamis over to nin to one day get that sexah nin relic body ^^



    5. Kill the gill sellers! the solution is simple, sell gill on POL. Offer it for lower then that gill sellers do. Make it not worth the gill sellers time to bot and ruin the game for the rest of us.

    I think the problem is, there are very few ways to earn gil in this game. The real money is doing BCNM's. Old farming grounds are destroyed... you can do small limbus farms that are great. CoP for how hard it is, the challenge and skill it requires to complete takes the supid RMT out of the equation (IE THEY CANT FARM HERE).

    Bigger issue for me is you just cant craft in this game. You should be able to fund your craft by well... crafting... but for most part crafting becomes a gil hole. 



    6. lower the price! its freeking old! The cost fo server upkeep has gone down! Dont tell me it hasnt cuz it has! All the tech costs have gone down so bring the price down! Or at least make a graphical! If im paying 15$ a month I want my game to look next gen! I didnt buy a 3000$ computer to play outdated games.

    If a pos game like WoW and Vanguard can charge that much why cant FFXI? serios, dont like the price and the lack of solo content... leave. Also, FFXI may not have native support for stuff like AA but you can get AA in this game, just have to research and understand what registry keys to change... even if you dont tweak and run the game at 1280* reso this game looks 1000X better then crap like WoW, EQ2 ... ETC. IMO you just load it up and play, dont bother to modify or adjust anything... its a pc game... great things about pc games is you can modify/tweak so much.
