FFXI/WoW Feud? Why?Follow

What more can be said, I played both, I had 1 1/2 year in FFXI, Alot of things drove me nuts over the game,

i/e

forced to group- level crunching - synthesis - campers - people thinking they are the best with NO PVP !!! - quests took forever - quest drops were not often enough ( spending 5 days level 50 limit break quest... retarded ) - zoneing ( you all can relate ) - making money was realy odd - guessing synthesis materials, and much more ... I had over a year to get angry with the game.... every time i started a new job they seemed to NERF it!

Things i did like
graphics ! - player armor (looked better) - the user interface - macro setup - all the friends I made... They are missed.


Now for WoW ...
I do have to say that the graphics r kinda nerfed. But there is so much more you can do. Night Raids rock! The transportation is pretty chill... armor drops can be used at the level u are fighting!!! , "farming" is alot easier! Leveling up any skill is "user friendly".
I like how they put the binding armor. It is more realistic, armor wears down... doesnt cost u everything u have... and it only fits u....
Now for the Auction house, .... FFxi used an odd way of doing this... it was too easy to force prices and monopolize items.

Near the end of my stay with FFxi I had some high priced items that went up by 200k ... I put the price of the item to 99k cheaper than the last one sold and for some reason it still went for higher than the last one purchased.... Price fixing and price pushing.

The WoW one you can put many items up for sale, it is set up to bid or buyout, no guessing on what the true price of the item is. 3 options. 2hours, 8hours, and 24 hour selling... makes u think on what is worth the space. You get your deposit back if the items sells!!! NO TAX! unless u remove the item from the auction before the time u put down.

Another thing... I was playing the other day I assisted another person kill a mob and they put a /s EXCUSE ME! Then i explained that someone can help u out at any time and u lose nothing. . . . He was used to the FFXI way of things... he thought he would lose the items and xp. . . He then said he was sorry and we went on our separate ways. . .

I am realy enjoying this game (WoW) alot and I am glad I made the switch... but remember that no matter how often you say one game is better than the other you will notice that if you play anything for an extented period of time you are bound to find things that drive you nuts.

I liked FFXI for what it was. I enjoyed the time spend with the people I met and the people I tried to help. I even liked the "heated" conversations i have had with agressive or rude people... Gets the Blood moving. HAHAHA

I am sure in a year WoW will do something to drive me nuts just like FFXI did because no company is going to make a game the way "I" want it to be. AND i dont expect them nor want them to. If this was so; I would start the game as the highest level and the highest priced armor. What can i say ... Economics/Greed.

I will say FFxi and Wow are separate games and people dont want us to compare them but remember that they are in competition on who buys thier game and who playes it. Remember that we are money to them and 1 person leaving a game does not mean a whole lot to them but 100,000 people leaving them makes a difference. Play one, Play the other. It is always your choice. Free will . Got to love it.

Well this is my 99 cents. and more. Thanks for reading my rant.
