I'm starting to lose interest in this game.

I don't enjoy DoW/M because the SP system is retarded. Partying is meant to be faster SP but I can't group with the people in my LS because most of the people grinding are more than five ranks above me.

Leves have become old. The same quests repeated every day and a half, consuming many hours for small rewards. It's quicker to earn gil crafting.

Crafting is starting to become a huge pain due to the shard problem. I've got to go out and grind wind shards on mobs for crap SP (see earlier complaint) before a day's crafting now or get ripped off by players due to the high demand for them.

I can understand people getting bored of this game already if they played this much in the beta. I didn't play much beta so it was mostly all new for me.

Everyone I know who has bought this game has quit after a week in disappointment. Even the guy who bought a new computer to play it. I notice my linkshell getting less active every day and it's not a case of people joining new ones. I'm not going to quit however because being a high level crafter when the game gets good (March?) will have advantages.

SE have ruined a lot of this game's potential by pushing the game out about six months early. The PS3 players are going to be left very unhappy and unmotivated too by seeing loads of rank 50s and how crafting classes are no longer worth playing. Even DoL items will be too cheap to bother playing the classes by then. It would be in SE's best interests to push out an expansion in March, re-release the PC version and add new classes, new areas, new items and some end-game content. But I doubt they can create an expansion that fast.

Expand a completely broken game, with more broken? How about they actually fix some shit first, and if they still have any subscribers, then they can start releasing expansions.

I doubt they can rebound the game that fast. I don't think the game is gonna be given a serious re-review in March for the PS3 release. I think most review companies will play the PS3 to see what has changed, but they don't need to devote weeks to playing to find out what has / hasn't been changed since its the core mechanics that are broken. Even if the lodestone population thing is a rough estimate, they are looking at roughly under 400k sub's for release numbers and thats pretty bad. Also gotta figure that well over 50% are gonna leave after the free trial. I see the game sub 100k's once you have to pay, and thats being generous due to the die hard fans.

The people fixing the broken shit aren't the same people designing and developing the content. Programming is only one aspect of game development and not all developers are programmers.

Whoa, when Sephiroth is floundering with the game, you know this mess is in trouble. He was one of the game's biggest champions. How the mighty have fallen...

**Sephiroth** · 2010-10-27 14:22

lol, my opinion of the game has been slowly decreasing now for the past few weeks. Like I say, I didn't play much beta so you guys were always going to get sick of shit earlier.

**Dooom** · 2010-10-27 15:17

Why does my macro to equip my dagger +1 fail saying I don't have enough affinity, yet I can equip it from menu np? Makes no sense.

**miokomioko** · 2010-10-27 16:14

I think whenever there's an "affinity" message like that, it doesn't mean anything other than your main hand macro is fucked up somehow . Are you putting "+1" in the macro or anything like that?

**Dooom** · 2010-10-27 16:32

Derp, I forgot about that bug.

**TStupified** · 2010-10-27 18:32

Might've been here before but I'll complain about this anyway

Today I found out that you can't even KICK people out of an LS unless you're standing next to them.. I mean, what the fuck? Is SE expecting us to be like, um "polite" and ask a person kindly to come to the sackholder to be kicked from the LS? I mean sure, some retarded 12 year old severely unstable kiddo is going to "surrender" kindly in stead of running and hiding and causing general havoc to the LS.

Ironing.

Since I'm in the mood for complaining, heres more.

Complaintments about randomness:
Why does nearly everything have to be so random?
Why does it have to be random which marks you get as a reward if you have leveled more than one class to R10?
Why does there have to be such SHITTY rewards in faction leves, like 7-20k gil, that isn't even money with the current "economy" for fucks sake?
Why does sp gained by combat classes have to be generated by a RANDOM number generator?
Why does crafting have to be so fucking random? -One day you can successfully do a certain synth for fucking 12h with 95% success rate, another day at higher rank you'll fail the same shit all the time, FUCK.

Meh, I was sure that I could come up with at least 5 more lines about randomness but I couldn't, I'm such a failure. Feel free to continue from here.

It's also slightly annoying that I only have 2-3 local leves per cycle that are useful for my main crafts, rest are always low rank shit. And don't even start with the extra rewards you can get from lowrank leves you complete with high appraisal, haven't seen any reward worth the time to actually regularly complete lowbie leves for.

**Drakath** · 2010-10-27 20:06

Why does this game suck so so much?

**Cureslime** · 2010-10-27 21:57

All I have to do in the game is work. I have 1200 crystal splits, 300 willow masks, 200 copper/brass rings, and 200 colored hempen cloths waiting to be made. I have nothing else to do except do leves that give non-monetary rewards. If I don't want to watch a movie/tv (since that's the only way crafting can be made bearable) I have zero reason to bring up the game window.

I should probably just stop altogether until the November update or I'm going to end up quitting...

**Meresgi** · 2010-10-27 22:40

Seriously, why the fuck can I make Yew planks nonstop for 2 weeks straight...and then suddenly I can't get past fucking 60% on them tonight? Fuck this random ass bullshit with crafting, it makes no goddamn sense at all.

**Sephiroth** · 2010-10-27 22:58

Yay R0 during the best leve of the current cycle. I can't even get back on to join my leve group.

Edit: I got lucky. It was waiting for me as an unclaimed reward. I guess my party finished the leve before my character disappeared.

What does piss me off with leves at aetheryte gates is it always leaves the last person to teleport back to the camp. What's more is if you're last and it's your leve and you've not touched the end point yet (can happen if you're running back after a death) it will end the leve and you'll have to go claim your reward at the gate and miss out on faction points.

You know, the "made in China" rumors actually make sense when you factor all these WTF-worthy design choices, this one being one of them.

**Celeras** · 2010-10-28 02:18

Mass Fear not being in the game yet, apparantly. The fuck, I was looking forward to that.
