bored people are boring, thats why so many threads like this shows up.
The game is fun and pretty, has a strong ip, dedicated fans and dedicated developers. If it really goes about dying it would be a shame... it's the best mmo that came out in a long time, imo, of course.
They still can go the F2P route before closing, i don't see FFXIV going down in a near future.
You are being dramatic.
I like that and will try and remember it!
Death is nothing to us, since when we are, Death has not come, and when death has come, we are not.

I got to admit that YoshiP is not very smart. 2.1 proved it and we reward them how they reward us.
In some GRAND delusion they thought they could just crash the economy and jack up housing prices and make crafting worthless by bumping them down from 2nd tier gear making to 3rd tier gear making.
I don't stand for this type of behavior from makers of video games, and neither will anyone else. Good luck Yoshi P and may you see the light on western gaming someday.
See below for details...
Let me explain, they added a worthless raid like Crystal Tower to the game, and when they needed a spot for it, they said lets put that in Tier 2 gear slots, and move crafting to Tier 3 slots... SHAME ON THEM!
Instead of allowing people to buy houses up, and allowing people to have something to do in their free time, like make funishings and go gather furnishing drop items. They decided to Jack house prices up to ridiculous levels, and to ensure they would not be bought up, Then crash all the ways people could make a lot of gil in short amounts of time so the houses could never be bought.... SHAME ON THEM!
When crafters are sitting with no Tier 2 gear making, and no ability to make furnishings for houses, they CRAPED ON CRAFTING, and MOST IMPORTANTLY something for people to do in their free time..... SHAME ON THEM!
When I stand around doing nothing because a RAID takes only 1.5 hours to get to T5 with nothing to do in my free time... SHAME ON THEM!
When I cant do anything in my free time because its worthless to even do anything like crafting, getting house item trophies from dungeons, and making funishines, ALL OF WHICH COULD HAVE BEEN DOING 2.1.... SHAME ON THEM!
When I have 4 million gil sitting in the bank and I can buy anything I want on the market, and all there is left to do is buy a house but now takes two months of farming in a broken economy with all avenues of gil making nerfed.... SHAME ON THEM!!!
When I give my friends and guildmates the rest of my gil for someday when they get a house, and I leave the game because theres nothing to do anymore because of their CHANGES in 2.1... SHAME ON THEM!!!!
GAME OVER!!!
Insert "something to do in free time" to continue.
And after all this crap they pulled, do they really expect anyone to come back after they know in the back of their mind YOU could pull this kind of crap again on them??? DONT THINK SO. Put time in a game where I can trust Producer and Devs not to do this type of behavior to a game.
It was doomed when SE decided not to follow in FFXI's footsteps. There was a reason FFXI maintained a very loyal userbase.
And you remember why we QUIT FFXI? Because there was nothing left to do that was FUN....
Housing in FFXIV is very much FFXI.... No western gamer is going to grind for months and years like dynamis took.... and unfortunately that is all that is LEFT TO DO in the game.
There was nothing left in FFXI for me to do when I decided I would not spend MONTHS, YEARS to get progression in a game....
Do they really expect grinding and farming gil in game for two months straight as FUN??
SEE, NOT FUN = NOT DO NOT DO = NOTHING TO DO NOTHING TO DO = NO REASON TO PLAY
Send this formula up to the head of SE, maybe someday they'll get it right, they got it right for 3 months up until 2.1, shocking really for SE actually.

It's like I said in the other thread.
This game has the best (not even one of the best) crafting systems designed into a Theme Park MMORPG. It could very easily be a shining star for SE. It could easily be the one thing that sets this game apart from all the other Theme Parks. But then the system they developed at the level cap does EXACTLY the same thing that WoW's crafting system does. It gives you entry level raid gear but stops there. I'd like an MMO that allows me to raid in a full set of gear that I created. And not just the entry level raids either.
I actually miss mmos where people didn't HAVE to be doing something at all times to be fullfilled. Standing around socially should happen as that is the reason to have social hubs aka towns in the first place.

Sandbox means open world, non-linear gaming PERIOD!
Subscription Gaming, especially MMO gaming is a Cash grab bigger then the most P2W cash shop!
Bring Back Exploration and lengthy progression times. RPG's have always been about the Journey not the destination!!!
I like that and will try and remember it!

Is that like "hurt people hurt people"?

I'm pretty sure WoW and EVE would disagree with you. Not to mention the fact that I've seen more F2P games close their doors than P2P.
