Default Just a little rant of mine...

Well I'm bored so I'm going to post this.

Anyway, I see myself either quitting or rarely playing this game after this summer comes around. Why? Several reasons, most importantly, the major flaw in this game.

First of all, what really bugs me about this game is that everything that is needed to be done in order to progress in the game pretty much demands that you do it in groups. Example:
Sub Job Quest (easy though because you level in that area)
Kazham Keys
Most of the Advanced jobs (SAM/DRG/NIN especially)
The extremely gay and annoying level 50 cap quest
your AF
Ranks
and most importantly, good/decent EXP
You can't solo any quest in this game. They should test your own skill, not others'. I guess Square didn't realize that not everyone wants to be helping other people all the time.

Seems that some of these quests like to test your patience and sanity other than your actual skill at this game.

The EXP system is messed. If an enemy is the same level as you, you only get 50 EXP. Doesn't matter what the level is. And you can't even kill enemies that are the same level as you (at least not at later levels). Enemies should have a set amount of EXP. When you need 40,000 EXP TNL, 150 per mob is ridiculous, which is why by the time I reach level 60 I will most likely stop leveling, although I may go to 62-65ish. Then I plan to sell my account on Ebay to some poor sap.

And also, next year I need to focus more on school, so, for the sake of the future of my life (marks determine what university I can get into), I will either quit or just rarely play. That and I'd also like time for some of the other rpg's I will be getting.

Don't get me wrong though. This is an awesome game, and would have been even better if all the not so good things were better. But I know DM, Rndm, and I think TheGame feel the same way I do.

It's just that once you get all AF there's no motive for you to continue (other than reach level cap.. which is ridiculously long, and in the end, not even worth the time IMO).

But anyway, that's what I have to say. I thought this game would last forever but it'll be like every other game I own.
