Aegina's forum war wins.
Besides that, its the same old stuff I used to see when WoW launched.

This should put this whole thread into perspective.

Re: My updated list of reasons why World of Warcraft is a terrible game.

omg .... this is like the 1000th topic in all the FFXI Forums ive seen. and im gona say this again. Keep your god damn comments too your self no reason to waist over many hours of typing like Impaction did .. no offince but i think its realy pointless. right now and then u could be playing FFXI.im doing this the damn patch on WoW is taking forver...

Reasons i love these MMOS and hate

WoW ( yess i play it and love it [kiss my ass])
+ Jumping, Swimming , Free Boat rides, Realistic AH, PVP 24/7 ( if u want)
100+ emots, ACTUAL Dancing EMot, Soloing!!! much more too much to type
- Retardedly Long Patch downloads lol just 1.90 AKA Paladin Patch

Nobody fell into the reactor, he killed himself by becoming a hypocrite.

Your free boat rides don't have captains or sailors, their sails billow even when docked, they don't require wind to move, they can start and stop on a dime, they can go max speed in half a second. I didn't want to compare this to FFXI, but since that's obviously where this is going to go (thank Zap) the airships are powered by crystals and it isn't completely explained how those crystals affect the flight capabilities of the airship. Everybody knows how a boat works so there's expectations in place.

Your realistic AH isn't realistic because people don't sell dollars in real life. The best part of WoW's economy is that if you go Herbalism/Skinning you can actually take the gold buyer's money as they buy it. With little collecting effort I had 150 gold by the time I was able to ride my mount. After I bought it for 80 gold and cashed in my findings I had 100 gold again. Again not to cut you off at the pass I'm not saying that FFXI's AH is realistic either.

There are not 100+ emotes, rather there are not 100+ animated ones. Anybody can create their own emotes easily. The dance emotes seem to have more thought put into them then the game's dynamics. I see emotes as more of a preference, but WoW's are definately more Saturday morning cartoon than FFXI's.

Yes, their P2P patch downloading networks are slow as hell. At times it can freeze up for hours then magically resume. It definately takes much longer than FFXI's.


Close it if you'd like, but as long as it's open I feel responsible to tend to my thread. My purpose is much higher than just flaming away at WoW out of anger. I was able to sell my account for $200, and it's not like I didn't have my share of fun while playing, but that was overshadowed by more than my share of pains. Why can't I educate my fellow gamers about my experiences without being flamed by mindless bandwagon drones?

Re: My updated list of reasons why World of Warcraft is a terrible game.

This is ( was ) one of the better Wow sUcks threads, and it was pretty good and impaction had a lot of good points, it was good until people start posting nonsense things destroying this thread. I think all of impactions points are pretty good and people shouldnt post pictures of britney spears on it making a duck face for the reason of doing nothing else than flaming the OP, or the thread itself. If you think the fact that being able to swim and have 100+ emotes and actual dancing emotes is the best thing in the world, play Sims or nintendogs or something. FFXI could be emoteless for all i care.

Ocarina of time didnt have emotes

Oh come on. This is like the 50th WoW vs FFXI thread that has been created and will be closed. Just leave it open so people don't keep making new ones. It's in the right place anyway so it seems.

Impaction; am I trying too hard or are you? I (thought) I was correcting someone is all. If I'm in error, well, its understandable. But you? Cmon? Neverending molten pots is an example of the kind of extra yard that Blizzard didn't go to?

How about the repetitive monsters and skins in FFXI? The fact that for a very long time, even the god mobs were the same model/skin as counterparts found in other parts of the game...

Yeah.. This one is a valid point and very annoying one.. :x

I've been told that it is because of the PS2... Can someone explain it?

Are you slow, or is this two years ago? The last time I checked this has been discussed and discussed a billion times already. Both FFXI, WoW, L2, etc all reuse monster models. One, this cuts down on the amount of data you'll have to store on a computer, and two this cuts down on the amount of data you have to load and reload.

It's been said a billion times that as long as we're working with the limited capabilities of the PS2 FFXI will be limited as well. They have to plan for future expansions, which will bring new creatures, which means they can fill up the HDD with unique monster models and textures that take up precious space.

They're merely repetative because YOU choose to fight them over and over from level one to seventy-five. I myself don't dwell on what I fight, instead I enjoy the diverse surroundings. Why doesn't anybody complain about zones and the world areas? Because they're all unique and very well done. Using zones allows them to ignore area transitions which allows them to give each area a lot more character. In WoW the "seamless" world is also very ugly. They use awkward and instant transitions such as rivers to seperate areas that look extremely different. They relied too much on trees to create character for their different areas instead of investing in a complete package.
