Yeah... i noticed alot of people are quitting FFXI.... That sucks.. but now it makes me think that i wanna quit... i've been playing for over a year and a half and even tho i took many breaks and havn't even got rank 6, i still find it boring now... i think cuase i'm craving a game like WOW. i played it once and it was fun... i think i'm gonna start it up again. Take care guys!
 
You're only a Rank 5, and you find it boring? Have you completed ZM's? Promy's? COP missions? There is so much to do at all times - it's hard to believe anyone gets bored...

But, I guess everyone has tolerance at different levels. Just seems as though you didn't give quests/missions much of a chance. (I think they are the most fun part of the game)

GL lil man ;) Have fun in WoW!
 
dude. ii play WoW and FFXI. both reguarly. FFXI is a far better game IMO. i sat last night dying every 5 seconds and couldnt get anywhere. some things are better but as far as story, gameplay, and shit to do, ffxi wins.
 
Everyone always talks about being bored in FFXI.. there's always a billion things to be doing just like in real life.. but I guess it's just human nature. People will know there's a crap load of things to do but not do them and bitch about the game being crappy and quit. Am I the only one that notices this?

BTW if you want a game that you can play while taking a break from FFXI then play Guild Wars. I usually play it for a few hours every other day when I get tired of FFXI. No monthly payments and no big in game obligations that require you to be playing for many many many hours.
 
Just a suggestion, but the game would probably get a little more interesting if you picked 1 job and leveled it past 32. The game gets a lot more fun as you can safely wander through more areas and kill a broader range of stuff.

I also agree that Guild Wars would be a good game to play during a break. You can easily spend hours and hours playing it or sit down and play for half an hour and still accomplish something. I hear WoW is fun, but only about half the people that quit FFXI for WoW seem to enjoy it for more than the first month.
 
to be honest.. I feel the pull of WoW :P but I don't really feel like switching over any time soon. I can play WoW on my friend's account fine and that's good enough for me. Still goals in FFXI I must complete. Then maybe I'll go. It's up to you though. You should try and get some more things done but up to you.
 
I dont even want to try WoW, Friend of mine played WoW instead of FFXI and he liked it at first but then he got to lvl 60 and all he talked about how boreing it got, said there were a few things to do but they just didnt appeal to him. He said the story was lame and if you dont have alot of friends in the game you end up being really lonely in the game.
 
that's because WoW is a super easy MMO which attracts more people. People like it cause they can become uber very quickly.. even solo..

but in exchange for being easy, it becomes boring very quickly..
 
Ive gone from FFXI to WoW to FFXI and back to WoW then back to FFXI.

the game is pretty fun (WoW), endgame raids are pretty fun but once you have your items, it gets boring.. very quickly, there isnt much endgame content besides two 40 man raid instances, you may be thinking you could always pvp, but that gets old quick. FFXI is the better choice imo, if youre looking for more "stuff to do" definately do not pick WoW
 
I used to play WoW to 60, and I just started back up on a different server as a noob again. I also recently gave FFXI another try. To me WoW is the better game. FFXI has too many built-in things that slow players down and make people play the game the SE-way rather than the way the player wants to play it. In addition WoW clearly wins hands down if you only have an hour (or so) a day to spend on gaming.

The storyline in FFXI is better, but storyline doesn't top gameplay.

To each their own though. I think there are always people quitting MMOs at any given time.

as stated above, WoW IS an incredibley easy game, it was meant to be easy, targeted more towards gamers of their previous games such as diablo 2, starcraft and warcraft 3. there isnt much variation to gear, which means people pretty much end up the same in the end, and even the best gear isnt too tough to get. that was a major letdown
 
Eh, FFXI has 3 things I dislike about it, otherwise FFXI is still a really good game.

1. Lacks ability to freely explore. In WoW, you can go up mountains, jump, swim; Grants the ability to freely explore the two continents.

2. PvP in FFXI is distasteful to me. It's fun and all, but if you run away, more than likely you can run away successfully. Thus: Running from fights = Winning ballista. That's not how I like to win in a PVP. In WoW, you run, more than likely you'll be killed. Also, FFXI, pretty much anything with Bind, Sleep, or Stun > All others. WoW's PvP is pretty balanced out, has some imbalance, but not that critical. I can still rip through people 3+ levels higher than me.

Plus, FFXI's PvP is awkward. All 3 nations are against each other, but also with each other. WoW's PvP is one whole faction fighting another. It's an actual War. Makes more sense in WoW.

3. The sneaky class is actually sneaky. FFXI, Ninja is a tank, upfront in your face. No stealth involved really. WoW, Rogue(similar to a ninja in many ways) is stealthy.

However, there are a few things I dislike about WoW, which FFXI is superior at.

1. WoW's communication ability. It's pretty difficult to get ahold of someone. Or if you make a new character, you have to retype in ALL your friends. FFXI is better at communication, and you can contact someone easily.

2. Meeting new people. In WoW, really the only times you meet people is in Battlegrounds, or for instances. FFXI, you have to be in a group to do ANYTHING. So you meet more people. However, WoW is getting better at meeting new people lately.

3. Music. FFXI has great music. Though, a lot of zones need music added in, still very good music. I love walking into Selbina, or into Gustaberg. WoW has only a few good BGM, but it's still not as great as FFXI. Also, FFXI is more visually appealing when it comes to character models. More smooth. But WoW has more character customization to choose from. It's sorta even.

Both WoW and FFXI are great games, but have different aspects.

WoW only gets boring fast to those who power drive their leveling to 60. I like to "stop and smell the roses" I guess.

Not to mention the repetition. You basically fight crabs damn near all the way to 75, and then once you get to 75 you basically fight weapons, skeletons, and demons for merits. That or do it the ENM way (which is actually fun).
 
Im bored with exp pt, so I try to do cop/zm missions, only to sit in jueno for hrs shouting with no success. Most members in LS rather exp or their not rank6 or haven't done any promies. I was hoping to atleast get access to SEA, but im done in 10 days.

If the next expansion has more solo content, Its far too late for me and for those who have also left because of that.
