Is the end of FFxi nearing day by day?Follow

Ah but isn't that what debating is? I think you're stupid and wrong, but I will try to prove you're stupid and wrong by finding valid points that go against what you are saying!

When it degrades to pointless "You're stupid" "noob" "you're just wrong cause you're a moron" then it's flat out flaming and a waste of time. Like I said, keep it civil and I'll debate with you all night, even if I do think you're a noob ^^

Dunno Tekkub, maybe ur right, maybe I AM stupid and wrong, never thought about it like that...
Guess that proved ur point...

Thanks Jackybob for a post well worth reading.
Not much left out...

Guzz I don't think you understood at all what I was saying. My opinion of you has no bearing in a "real" debate. If, for some reason, I did think you were a moron I'd likely just flat out ignore you. However, those who have the balls to state their opinion and back it up are rarely a moron in my book. Either way, I sure as hell wouldn't be in a debate if the whole thing were simply name calling. It's kind of like those people who rate down other's posts because they don't agree with them. I won't rate down someone for being opinionated, I only rate down in the few rare cases where the person's posts add absolutly nothing to the conversation and are usually quite rude.

Besides that, I wasn't debating with you so my opinion of your opinion on the subject of this thread doesn't really even exist. If you want to debate the subject of debating start a thread in the off-topic forum and give me a link^^

Jacky, honestly being a Galka mage was quite enjoyable. It's the whole leveling process I hated. That and the fact that as a WHM I couldn't set foot outside unless I was on chobi or had a bodyguard. Even Rohon thought I used Sneak/Invis too much... but then of course, he died to random aggro a lot more than I ever did. I always invite people to try WoW and see if they like it better, but it's a tad late for that now unless they re-open beta signups. See ya around :)

I think i told u about the pld that drove me outta congolmerate, and when theres people like that playin, it just isnt fun anymore, i mean, aman, u were there the day i went on it the first time, oh btw...i appologise for the whole yuhtunga jungle incident where i kinda..blew smoke at u for about 15 minutes striaght..but thats what seemed to be happening with this guy is his constant attitude that just because he was a pld and got pt's faster it made him better then me....of course in the end i decided that i loved the ls too much and broke his pearl...but THATS another story!

Tekk, let it alone man. LOL, don't take a stab at the game, you might not like how you come out of it.

Personally, I was "addicted" before I learned better. I had 73 game days in before I quit this game. This game was my first MMO, and I think it was a good begining for me. However, with the flaws that ARE there, no matter what you fan boys wanna sugar coat it with, it just isn't the same as it was at NA release date (when I started playing).

There are many issues, that are blatently NOT addressed by SE. You all know them, so there is no need to bring up any "known issues." I know that your gonna defend your game, and thats cool, I was the same way. Seriously though, I know SO MANY people that have or ARE going to leave FFXI for a multitude of reasons, and they are going to a multitude of different games.

I personally am going to WoW at some point after release. I played in OB and I really enjoyed the make-up of it. However, I loved FFXI, was a 64PLD before I left. Now, I have valid issues, and I know a lot about the inner workings of the game. However, my reasons are basically the same as listed above:

Level grind; lack of content (yes even in the mid 60's unless you can pull together a good group and do all the ziliart missions, theres absolute **** to do); gil sellers; and a multitude of other reasons.

Things that kept me on FFXI for so long? Well that list is MUCH shorter: Friends. I just cant justify paying 13 bucks a month to play a game I despise right now, just to be with friends. As much as I miss everyone, I can't waste money like that.

So please, just because someone points out flaws in the game, don't jump on him, and don't yell and scream. He's right about the game make up. I got to "high" levels, I did the first CoP missions (was glad I did, its where I retired my PLD), forced grouping for questing isn't always fun. CoP is out of line too. Meaning, CoP is a continuation of the storyline, so why make that accessable before you can do the Zilart stuff?

Just some food for thought.

Edit: Spelling.

P.S. I have also heard that there is no more storyline to be had. Granted, I don't have links to support that. Why would SE be working on a new MMO already though? Not another expansion, but a new MMO all together.
