    You're too late. Lots of us already bought it. We also have a very severe disease that causes us to like it. I'm so sorry.

    You joined just to slag off a game? Will you be posting in the other forums at all?

    Some of those are valid concerns and some are just plain wrong. I think your concerns that are valid will be fixed by SE eventually. Give them some time, maybe until the PS3 version?

    Yeah, FF14's main problem is that they released a beta build.

    I agree with the TS, if he didn't buy the game he could've gotten some grammar lessons instead. Couldn't even read his post beyond the first line.

    Considering I have already bought the game over a week ago I would consider this way to late, additionally I love the game, awesome community and the no AH thing is actually a good idea as no one knows how much the items should be and it would be much betting in the short run to not have an AH as it would be a wonderful tool for RMT's to use, but fear not, if you really hate the game then maybe you could pass your account on to someone who
    1. Likes the game.
    2. knows how to construct a sentence with proper grammar.
    and
    3. Does not join websites just to slag off a game.

    Posts like this make me wish forums had a "Like/X users liked this" button. Guess the reputation system will have to do.

    Too bad no reputation system is complete without the ability to give negative rep!

    I'm liking the game. My only complaint is that when you fail a guildleve you have to wait almost two days to repeat it, which is especially frustrating when the current leve gets aborted for no reason with 20 minutes left on the clock.

    Sure there are some other issues, but every MMO launch I've played has these kind of issues that usually get ironed out fairly quickly.


    "... and so I close, realizing that perhaps the ending has not yet been written."

    The only time I've had that happen is when I went to the aetheryte to abandon it or I disconnected. So perhaps the reason they haven't ironed that out quickly is because not many people are having it happen... I've done probably about 100 leves altogether now but haven't had them disappear without cause. How strange.

    The disconnect one is a pain, though. They treat that as "You left the zone, and therefore abandoned the quest" which sucks. Especially when you had already done 90% of the leve!

    Yeah, I'm really not sure what happened. It only happened once, but maybe it was to do with the guardian favor thing. Can't remember if I had it on or not. I hope they do fix it so you can just re-do it right then and there.

    Then halex42's advice served you well.
