This one here is for arkan. Seeing as my spelling and grammar suck im going to quote someone ells on exactly how i feel and what i meen with how iv been acting about 14 and why i dont like it plain and simple.
" YOu missunderstood me and at time of rage.
I don't consider XI a failure, I played it for many years and continue to play it occasional. but it never reached the subscriber rate that SE or SOE intended. What I meant was, that the way things are going, XIV is going to do worse than XI, and with a budget 50x larger than XI, that would be a travesty and an embarrassment.
There's some equation out there, the larger your MMO subscriber base, the more money you can spend on continued development and maintaining quality.
I believe that XIV is an unfinished game and offers little fun content at the moment. I believe that if the game wasn't free to play at the moment, that almost no one would be playing.
My response was supposed to mean that if it's currently a chore to play with little to no content, and in not playing it now you will be "behind"; then the game will do very poorly. There shouldn't be added stress for new players, especially upon PS3 release that they're "behind." The game should feel fun and offer engaging content to players of all stripes, new and old, of any level.
I feel that if the game is terrible to play now, players shouldn't be pressured into playing to wait for the game to become fun just so they don't feel behind. If you currently find the game enjoyable then more power to you, I consider myself a diehard square fan and Its hard for me to stand by this product, let alone recommended it to anyone in it's current state.
Sure the patches have helped some, but it's still miles away from what it needs to be to reach successful subscriber numbers. I almost feel like the only reason I continue to play is because I'm wanting the game to succeed so much it hurts, that I'm having to bare with it, and continue this "paid" beta testing.
Don't get me wrong, as I've said many times I want this game to be a success, but I'm worried that with the reviews already on the table and the damage done it may already have suffered irreparable face damage. Success to everyone is different.
If XIV ends up with 50,000 subscribers and you enjoy the game then I'm glad for you, but I won't be apart of a game that SE pushes to the side and decided to half ass future updates because internally they would consider it a waste of money due to the low subscriber numbers.
This is why I'm worried. Everything they do now will effect the future of XIV, it's content, it's success rate, it's life expectancy. Everything. I only get mad and voice my complaints because I have such high expectations and don't want to be let down again.
tl;dr: shut up, I'm on your side"
Im glad you find the game fun more power to you just stop making fun of me all over the forrum for voicing my oppion about my dislike for many resonson becouse maybe i dont want it to fail but as i quted from someone ells do to my bad english. There realy isnt much content at all when i say more conent more content and things enjoyable for all levels not just people at rank 50. The only thing thats ever going to change my oppion and get me to even consider trying this game at this point with how long they have taken to fix witch i still thing in its current state still needs is see how the game is after ps3 copy comes if i evn still care at that point thank you now go make fun of someone ells on the forum.
