| DoesWhatNintenDont said: You know I fully understand about FFXI and the having to group issue. I was annoying at first for me. But personally I think that in the end it made the game more rich. It forces you to have good socialization with others on the server. As a hunter in WOW I can basically use my pet as a tank and slowly fleece my way into 80% of the world without saying anything to anyone. It quickly becomes another dreadful hack-and-slash game if you ask me. No dueling in FFXI can be a bit of a pain though. Also unless one establishes connections, joining a guild worth anything in WOW proves a challenge these days. Simply because people have gotten too focused on the game and demand ridiculous things. Like I mentioned before with my buddy, uber politics for a game. But hey, to each his own. As stated it's pretty much a banked sale for SEGA from my wallet when the expanded PSU comes this fall. |
I have no problems with socialization in online games, but you should not only be able to play one way. If I log on in FFXI and no one is online to group with me, I either have to get a pick up group or just sit on my ass till people get online.
If I get online in WoW I can go kill stuff, do quests, PVP, play in battlegrounds, Duel, etc. When people do get online I can go do 40 man raids. IMO everything in WoW (both group and solo) was handled better than everything in FFXI.
