I don't see many complaints about the lag when transferring items to and from your retainer's inventory? There is literally a 4-7 second delay for every single transferred item. And this is in a completely empty market ward. It wasn't like that in the beta at all from what I remember.

Worst part about the game for me, together with the small inventories. I spend about at least an hour a day just managing my inventory. I toss out everything worth less than 10k that isn't a hard-to-find crafting material, and I'm constantly at 150/160.

Also, to all the list of ragers in this thread. If you have so many problems with the game, why not quit? Why stick around in the game if you don't think you're ever going to be happy with it? Why stick around here? Maybe you should channel all that energy towards making that active choice, rather than raging on an internet forum.

You realize there's a reason this thread is called the Random Complaint Thread?

I have no intention to continue my subscription after my 30 days, but I will still read these forums, because I still want to see how the game develops. Hell, I still read the FFXI-forums from time to time and I haven't played that in years.

**MrSamuels** · 2010-10-01 07:59

Because for every problem they have, they will also have something they enjoy about the game at the moment, people come here to rage in this thread because the title tells them to complain, generally when complaining about something you aren't happy, when you aren't happy you want to rage and punch fluffy animals. This is even more so when you have paid for something most feel is not even ready yet.

**Meko** · 2010-10-01 08:16

People complain because they feel a small sense of hope that SE will read this and get it. At least I do. The game has it's good sides and it's bad but the bad are things that most people can agree should have been fixed PRIOR to release. Why do I get the same rank 1 leves after they reset? Can't I get more up to date leves? Why does my level 1 character get leves for a rank 10 or rank 15 camp? Seems like there isn't a lot of thought put into that. Why do I have to go through 16 menus to start crafting an item or why does the repair NPC only repair to 75% or whatever? What harm is it in having the NPC repair to full for a fee? Why does anima regen slower than Christmas?

When you have a past of making a successful MMO, why not build on that and move forward instead of moving lateral or even backwards?

**Rammses** · 2010-10-01 08:28

I've no complaints about complaining in the complaint thread, but when peoeple are seemingly so unhappy about the game, they either need to gtfo of the game or stop manufacturing roid rages for internet attention they so desire, which I suspect is the case more often than not.

God damn goats. I had like 10 following me while I was doing a leve. Are they supposed to follow your character?

**Lucavi** · 2010-10-01 09:52

Yeah they follow you, and they get in the way when you have packs of mobs you need to burn down. Its gotten so bad that some of my groups will designate a "goat runner", that gathers up all the goats and just runs the opposite way so the others can AOE with impunity.

**izembo** · 2010-10-01 09:55

there are several mobs that do that, like monkeys

I completely forgot how easy it is to point this out to a bug based on fighting humanoids. You're absolutely right; they will constantly sheathe and unsheathe their weapons. Thanks for calling in, caller!

As noted above, several monsters follow you around: aldgoats, dodos, coblyns/doblyns, sheep (Just ewes? Not sure about rams.), and opo-opos. Either just an attempt to make the world more "immersive" or perhaps setting something up for the shepherd class.

Also, sylphs stare at but do not follow you (at least in OB). Some monsters also run away from you such as Qiqirn, rodents (Just squirrels/marmots/dormice?), puks, and antelope does.

The npc repair only does 75% because an item has to be at 100% to trade/sell it. That is my guess. SE surely wouldn't want anything to be "too easy", lest they go back on their track record.

<3 you Avelle.

Please fix the tiny, 1 way door type triggers for missions. You have to walk through a certain entrance to the location in a specific direction or it wont trigger. Small but annoying as hell when the trigger is unable to be found because it's tiny and a 1 way door somewhere near where you have to go to.

**Darkhavans** · 2010-10-02 01:28

I don't think I've seen any post on the specifics of the party bug yet. It seems to be that only 2 people in your party will get skill on any given fight, completely random. This is really destroying the game for me right now. I've been duoing with a Conjurer and would love to bring in 1 or 2 more DDs and take on some harder stuff and get a bit more skill, but it's just not worth it when half your party members don't get any skill.

It's fucking incredible that they've managed to release an MMO that you can't actually party in, just duo.

Not to mention the target and sub target system is horrible. Even if you are in a party or group, good luck healing them, and then good luck getting any skill off that.

My annoyances are starting to mount with this game this week, and a lot of the little things are adding up. I won't whine about it here, I made an article on my blog Mithraprincess.

**miokomioko** · 2010-10-02 01:56

It might be mostly an annoyance with retarded people but...

When I'm standing with a bunch of bazaars in view, Market Wards or not, and I'm standing still, tabbing my target through them to make sure I don't miss one. Then some douchebag idiot(s) thinks it's necessary to run up and rub his nose on every bazaar player/retainer one at a time so when my target comes across him, they run around, fucking up my thoroughness.

**Lordender** · 2010-10-02 02:25

The Exp issue:

No freaking excuse once-so-ever, it was reported back in BETA yet still has not been fixed. This isn't a small problem, this is a critical problem that effects the game in such a ridiculous way. This will be a complete deal breaker to me if this is not fixed by the first patch.

I really am hoping there will be an emergency maintence before then to fix this fucking bullshit but I doubt it. I really don't like alienating people because I don't want to waste my time with more than a duo right now.
