Why I and others will quit playing

[Moonspring]

And yea other MMO’s might be the same. But name me a successful MMO.

WoW. Required quite a lot of research into maxing your class (statswise, and gameplay-wise).
FFXIV. Required an enormous amount of research if you planned on being a crafter.

In both cases you could play the game just fine without…just not get very far ‘‘endgame’’. But then, that’s very similar to ToS. Except here you can get to endgame without the research. You just wont be as good as others.

FFXIV without the hours and hours of research you had zero chance of being an end game crafter.

That said, the problem is - game is too linear early on, making levelling an alt into a punishment.

And in later levels it’s too boring, making it harder to stay with the same character.

Red and Blue Scripts for days.

Don’t remind me of that horror. I left after that patch.

Eh. I expect something to change by the time 4.0 hits. Both Hand and Land classes are in a rather awkward position right now. They’re still depended upon, but having to grind for a formula that is similar to dungeoning, feels limiting… in a sense.

[Moonspring]

Many of the top crafters at the time quit. One too many killings of the joy of crafting. Crafted equipment made useless for battle classes. Leaving only crafting…to get better equipment to craft with.

And even limiting it to a few items per week at that, along with hours of farming.

I am the Tool of my Craft

HQ is my body and Materia is my blood

I have created over a thousand Artisan’s Needles

Unknown to Sleep, Nor known to Combat

Have withstood pain to create many Items

Yet, those hands will never hold anything

So as I pray, unlimited Craft works.

R.I.P. FFXIV Crafting

Just to add on for those who keep harping on how little skill/item/whatever documentation ToS has.

Most if not ALL mmorpgs out there have really bad/little documentation. All the information you see/get are player/community contributed. Do you think WoWhead is owned by Blizzard? Think again.

Yes the game is new, there is little documentation. All mmorpgs are like that, developers obviously left them out of the manual/online guide so players can discover them as they play the game. It is up to the community to share and spread the information. If the community is good and have many contributors we get numerous guides and tips which will turn into meta builds. This is how builds come about, there are pioneers helping by paving the route for you.

If something is not documented well and you want to play it, why not be a pioneer to explore and guide others? It is so much better than coming over to the forums and complain about how little documentation the class has.
