Never really wanted to make a thread complaining but I really feel that the last few weeks have been the worst ever for me, I don't have any good delve gear and I cant get in any shouts to obtain any cos I don't have any of the gear in the first place, shouts are actually quite rare now and you can sit for hours without seeing a single one, and those are only done by one of three LS's shouting for a BRD SCH or MNK when one of their LS guys don't show up... its been like this for weeks now, there seems to be no hope for the average player.
6 months ago I felt like I had decent gear, but now i'm just pathetic, I have almost lost all enjoyment from the game, I cant achieve much, the gap seems so large, you either are in the click or you are not. Whats happened to the game I love?
I do fear for FFXI's future, this is the first time ive ever felt like this, I have got a level 90 empy weapon, and full +2 empy armour, I was ok 6 months ago, but now, I cant get in any shouts, I am laughed at and sneared at... I am basically worthless.
To be honest I don't think in 3 weeks time the November update will offer me what I would love it to, the chance for my weapon to be useful again with a stat boost, so I can enter fights to get better weapons etc... and improve my armour etc... cos if this next update fails me in that respect (and I really think it will) then theres very little point carrying on.
Never thought I would ever say that, and it pains me to.
There must be loads of other people out there like me, maybe a lot of them have already had enough, but im just stubborn and stupid and keep hoping things will change, but its not looking good.
You can merge servers if you want, but all that will do is mean more shouts of ''17/18 BRD 3-4 songs can I have it?''... or just more people AFK... or just more trains of tarus with unpronounceable names.
Sorry for ranting... feeling quite low right now, really need a lift, but not sure that its coming.
I do think the November update is make or break for many people, this is perhaps the most important update the game has ever seen, that's how I see it anyway.
[I'm sorry]
