How many people quitting?

The costs for adaberk, zenith, and shura gear are jokes. Thats like saying spike necklace sucks cause it has mnd-6.

And yu-gi-oh is so fucking lame...

Who needs end game HNMs with worthwhile drops when we have chocobo raising =D

omfg get a life if you want items better than gavial +1!!!1111111 WHAT ABOUT SAMURAIS WHO WANT INCREASED MAGIC DEFENSE WHEN THEY TANK CUZ THEY DO THAT SO OFTEN????wwwwwwww

Didn't you sell your account?

Don't you and your ilk hate end game HNMs yet partake in a community dedicated to that subject?

That gives me a perspective, not a credibility problem.

[Ryko]

The point was that SE gets the concept right, they just fail at execution. The costs are there so you can't do everything at once. You take a koenig warrior and an adaman warrior and you know what theyre both set to do (1, suck, and 2, kick ass but I digress). The point is they need more gear like that, good for a certain purpose but then otherwise not really. A PLD/NIN in koenig is a joke, dalmatica only exists for BRDs and RDMs. SE just refuses to flesh it out because theyre still hanging off of fafnir's nuts.

And I really don't care whether you dislike 1 TCG for another, in the end you're still the same kid playing cards outside of the library that everyone tries to avoid eye contact with as a whole.

next fan fair at the Q&A section, if I get called on I have the perfect question already written down:

"Do you have any plans to move people out of the aery, behomoths dominian[sp] and VoS, and maybe do something players acually want insted of adding lame content no one in their right mind would wear?"

If I dont get called on someone else suck it up and ask it because pussy footing around obviusly isnt getting us anywere, if you embarass the intire dev team infront of hundreds of fans, something WILL be done.

They'll say something stupid along the lines of how just because you don't like something doesn't mean the rest of the playerbase feels the same way.

Who the fuck cares if you get called on or not, somebody get some balls and just stand up and start firing off all the questions those of us who've been paying their goddamned salaries for the past 3+ years want to have answered. Make them squirm. Make them uncomfortable. Don't let them off the hook with some cheesy bullshit answer or a joke to side-step the questions.

At which point the next person to stand up should be like "yeah I'd just like to say I agree with the last guy, why do you guys suck so much at addressing problems btw?"

I think a lot of the endgame people pissed at SE don't understand the concept of mudflation, when itemization of drops makes a ton of loot drops from older content obsolete. SE wants to avoid this, otherwise you end up with tons of areas that noone ever visits because the loot/xp/rewards completely blow compared to recent additions (hi2u everquest several expansions later).
Do we really want new loot drops to become so good that stuff like Nihdogg is getting Avesta'd, denying newer players trying to kill it 'the old fashioned way using an alliance' or left up an unclaimed because the drops suck because even craftables have to keep up somewhat with rare/ex drops.

If you people aren't complaining about shit loot drops off new HNM, you'll cry over a drop that makes all that time you spent camping 3 kings seem absolutely pointless. If the upgrade is minor, then it becomes a waste of mog space or omg its only good for macro swapping, etc.

Did someone who plays Magic call Yugioh lame? How funny. Anyway, I loved the japanese manga when it was around, but let's not get off topic.

Side-grading is FINE!

The problem is SE isn't doing it right.

Like, what is Hydra gear even unlocking for either SAM or DRG?

And at some point they need to release something better or as good as Adaman Huberk. What SE needs to do is go back and upgrade armor. Dragon(DRG JSE), Barone, Chasuable(RDM JSE), ect ect... make them better. What they did with Daggers was amazing, but how can they not see that so many sets of level 70(and even a few lower level) gear need upgrading, more than Daggers ever did. You would think SE would get upset at the lack of armor they designed(art-wise) never being worn. If Black/Onyx was a bit better and Barone/Conzza(whatever) was a bit better, Ebody would be a bit less wanted.

I can almost put money on it when its asked people will cheer. Alot of the time the only people that go to fanfairs are the really hard core geeky people about the game, assuming everyone there has at least 1 75 job and has camped one of the kings.

As opposed to people not going to the new areas because the old stuff's better? Theyre not avoiding it at all, theyre just doing the same thing but ass backwards.

[Siatdiat]

tons of areas that noone ever visits because the loot/xp/rewards completely blow

Your talking about cop lvl capped zones right?

[Navia]

It would be nice if SE did go back and retractively upgrade some pieces of gear so they are situationally viable. Otherwise a lot of items in the database exist for the sake of leveling up a craft. You could easily prune out half the items in the game and people wouldnt even notice. Noone would be like 'omg where's gavial armor, I cant play ffxi without it!'

[JoOeetheplatypuS]

I havent played magic in years lol, but Yu-Gi-Oh's game mechanics make me cry.

Anyways, I do agree that things should change, but also the game is damn enjoyable as it is. People bitch that hydra was worthless but you can have fun with it, and the way I see it, that makes it a worthwhile addition. And not dropping good gear is a good and awful thing. IMO they need to add more HNM like hydra and keep the good drops in instances.

Areas that nobody goes to...you mean like Xarcabard? Beaucedine? Who the fuck goes to Dangruf Wadi? Nobody. And how about all those lolCoP areas. Does anyone care? Not really.

Do we really want new loot drops so good that older HNMs are left alone for people to fight them for the sake of fighting them? That sounds good to me. All the bleeding edge hardcores can fight over their bleeding edge gear, leaving more old-hnms for us people who don't want to blow 3 hours for a 1/10 chance to claim.

When 5% of the online population of the server competes to claim a single NM every night for 2 years, something is desperately wrong with the system.

[Senoska]

useless gear is going to be in any mmo-- its there for the poorer playerbase in my eyes, I mean its going to be there.. but when 90% of the gear in a MMO is TOTALY useless, not even the poorer playerbase will be cought dead in it, its junk, and its lazyness on SE's part.

What alot of you already know but im going to say it anyhow, FFXI will be done very soon this game is on a one way road to deadsville. Fafnir KB Nidhog and Aspid are their only things they have going for them in this game. The people that say "I refuse to quit this game til I have everything there is to have" are the people that are still currently playing. Giving these mobs a really long pop time with an unbeleavably low drop rate is why this game is still going today. If they add something easly obtainable that is better then this gear, the game is destin to die, very, very fast.

There are ways around this but again its lazyness on SE's part. They can easly add something better to certin mobs but then people will quit because one or two mobs are impossible to claim, even harder then todays mobs will be. Whats SE's solution to the problem? keep making it look like they are doing something while they lick RoZ's ass untill people finaly give up on not getting these items and the game dies.

You have to remeber SE is about the money they in all honosty do not care if you are enjoying this game or not, long as there is the select player base that will continue to play in hopes of getting a ridill, af2, d.ring etc.

Whats our fix to the problem? Well to be honost there is only one fix but sadly its not going to happan, that being deleate your charater and move on with your life but that kinda goes aginst what I just said right? It wont happan and SE knows this,they will continue to suck ass untill the game dies.

On another topic, people, If I dont get called on at the next fan fair take it upon yourself to ask that question, you wont get in trouble for asking, if anything your going to be a hero of the players. We need to grow some balls and try our best to get the message accross to SE. Cant hurt right?

sorry for the long on going post.. kinda rambling to myself thru posting, lol.

You mean this game should be smart about it like wow is? I agree.

[Senoska]

if thats how you want to look at it..
ffxi > wow even with the lazy devolpers

[Ryko]

I was talking to max <_< sorry

[Senoska]

oh rofl, go me for mistaking that @@; I tend to read alot of forums and kinda go to the last post, sorry lol.
