Literally EVERYTHING you said about 14 has been changed. MMO's evolve, not stay the same forever lol.
Shouldent have left so early.
BTW, who plays GW2 ? I tried a free weekend and people in zone chat were begging me to buy the game. They claimed it was dead. Well, all the way to 20 I maybe only saw 3 people. EVER. So yeah, I know for a FACT that your lying.
BTW again, dungeons have been made soloable dude:
Players will now receive Allagan tomestones of poetics.
The Keeper of the Lake / The Wanderer’s Palace (Hard) / Amdapor Keep (Hard) / The Chrysalis / The Steps of Faith / Urth’s Fount / Battle in the Big Keep / The World of Darkness
Using this option, players can participate in duties without meeting minimum party member requirements. Furthermore, role requirements, level sync, and item sync are ignored when this option is enabled.
The Undersized Party option can only be used for the following duties
2.X dungeons / 2.X Trials / Binding Coil of Bahamut / Second Coil of Bahamut / Final Coil of Bahamut
This option has no effect on the strength of enemies or mechanics in the duties it is applied to. Players will still receive treasure rewards, first time completion bonuses, and experience points upon completion of duty when using this option. However, players will not receive experience points or items from enemies that appear prior to boss encounters. Spirit bond and soul resonance cannot be gained when using this option.
* Only the party leader may select this setting.
Using this option, all gear will be item level synced to the minimum requirement of the duty where it is applied. Minimum IL can be used with the required number of party members or in conjunction with the undersized party option. This option is recommended for players who wish to challenge duties as they were when first introduced.
* The level sync enforced by Minimum IL will take effect even when used in conjunction with the undersized party option.
* Only the party leader may select this setting.
Players can access the Loot Rules tab of the Duty Finder Settings menu after meeting party size requirements, or by enabling the undersized party option. Doing so will give parties the option of using normal loot rules, greed only, or setting the party leader as lootmaster to determine individual loot distribution.
* Loot rules cannot be set for duties that require an alliance.
* The party leader will not be randomly assigned upon entering a duty when lootmaster is enabled.
Loot rules can be confirmed on the duty commencement window.
The Need, Greed, Pass system is employed for all loot drops.
All party members must select Greed or Pass.
The party leader determines individual loot distribution.
Loot can be distributed one of two ways by the lootmaster.
- Designating Loot Recipients
The lootmaster can manually distribute loot to party members.
- Setting Items as Greed Only
Loot can be set to Greed Only on a per item basis. This option can be canceled at any time. However, in the event party members select Greed and the lootmaster cancels Greed Only, the numbers rolled prior to canceling will be used should the lootmaster reselect Greed Only.
Furthermore, items can be distributed until a duty has ended. In the event players leave the duty without selecting Greed or Pass, items will be distributed to the last member to remain in the duty.
* Loot rules cannot be changed after a duty has started.
* Loot rules will default to normal when randomly matched with other players via the Duty Finder.
======================================
Ya know dude, reading and getting information CORRECT helps. So now that ALL of your concerns are handled, you should re try. RNGesus has been VERY great to people. Drop rates were increased 10 fold dude. Maps give 5 ALEXANDRITE now !! 5 !! ATMA has an 60% chance drop, etc.
=====================================

Sounds like we left for the same reasons. My advice is give it another chance. The issue is we were probably both stuck at end game so long that we forgot all the good parts and remember only the bad ones... which pretty much describes the entire end game and all the support systems they had to keep people playing and paying. The game is fine when we aren't stuck doing fate grinds or are in a queue forever and a day.
... well that and not looking at our idiot doppleganger named fred that does stupid things in cutscenes. =p
Really? Instances need to be solo why? Because your 15 or 20 minute wait is too much for you? Make friends stop playing a MMO like a single player game. If you want a solo experience go play Single Player games. If you use the Party finder most of the time during Peak hours you can get a group in under 5 minutes all like mind players.
When it comes to RNG guess what they fixed that with the XPAC. Maybe you should read up on it because it resolves the issue with RNG to at least some degree.
I played GW2 the game is nothing more than a Glorified hack and slash game like Diablo 3. If you like that game and don't like subs just go buy D3 and stop killing the MMO genera with piss poor MMOs like GW2 that have Glorified malls. If I wanted to be nickled and Dimed to death I will give me wife the credit card, not a game like GW2.
Quests that you start doing in Ishgard start throwing i115 gear at you, so this gives you a slight leg up. You'll be replacing the i120 gear from this promotion within 5 levels.
I am a legacy player, i played this before it got made into a raiding lobby game.

Legacy player here too (1.0 was a better base game, shame they ruined it), I can't login?
I participated in the last return event back in March, so I should be fully able to participate in this one.
Has anyone else been able to login?
Hope I'm not somehow screwed over and can't play for this event. Contacting SE's support won't do anything at all from my previous experiences with them.
Edit:
Well that clears it up.
Really bad wording on their article; makes it seem like it's a free month login event and not a "subscribe within a month and get some feathers" event.
The problem I have with FFXIV is that it's just like any another boring Theme Park game just with a Final Fantasy skin. So of course if you played one theme park you have basically played them all, because in the end you do the exact same thing as you would in the other. The only difference is that the story and classes are different and maybe some other minor things, but in the end it has the same mechanics as every other theme park mmo. To many people this is their perfect type of MMO, but to other it's get very boring fast, and we can see this with welcome back promotions FFXIV and other Theme Park MMO's often offer. This is because it's hard to retain a player base when the whole concpet of the game is to usher you from one 'ride to another' and eventually you get bored, until something new opens up.
This is just my opinion, so if you don't agree so be it, but I'm not the only one who feels this way.
What a shame. You have NO opinion of your own. Maybe it's for the best that you don't play anymore.
How is any of this a lobby game?

Please stop spreading lies and slander about that which you do not know about.
I'm guessing because once you finish leveling (which is what I see here) there is no need to venture out in the world, because everything is menu driven with no need to actually go to these dungeons or raids. So people just stand around in town or their houses. This is basically how all theme park mmo's have turned into.
I played and watched enough streams on 2.0 to know at end level before the x-pac that all people did were stand around and queue for dungeons and other instnced based things. Yoshi P even said he wanted to utilize the world more than they did with 2.0. Now, if 3.0 ends utilizing the open world and not just queue up for dungeons and raids via your menu then I'll be proven wrong. Oh, there's hunts, but once you do them there is no need to revist them.
I'm not telling you what you should enjoy, I'm just stating the obvious on how theme park mmo's have tunrned out since the release WOW.
Ever since duty/lfg finder the world of these mmo's are worthless besides leveling because they put everything behind instances which are reachable though a menu via teleporting, so what's the point of the world if you're not utilizing it after you reach max level?
So OP am I reading it correctly that your post title is in accurate and misleading?
Is there in fact a 1 month free access or not?
I am level 55 and a half LMAO, how is that max level? Also there are quests, important ones too, and yes, you HAVE to travel to the dungeon to open it. It does NOT just pop up. So NO, people are not just standing around waiting in a dungeon queue. NOR DO YOU HAVE TO BE IN A CERTAIN PLACE TO JOIN A DUNGEON EITHER. Which means when your queued, you could go do quests or hunts or fates or whatever. Look at my loadstone dude. I have NOT even finished half the content in the game yet. I still have more classes, moogle mail, MAIN STORY, all new side story, getting my crafters to 60, then after 1 month after launch, yesterday, we get Alexander and more story, etc. I have not been able to sit in one place for longer then a minute without having to leave.
Lobby game my ass. BTW this DX 11 is the best.
Get your facts straight. My Laodstone: http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/character/7984895/
Neverwinter is a lobby based game. Everything revolves around Protectors Enclave.
In FF, I have to make multiple places favored destinations. Lest it take me almost 30 minutes to get from Gridania to Lominsa.
In Heavensward ares, we have to cover A SHIT TON OF GROUND. Then sky......
I don't believe you have ever played this game.
FFXIV is pretty grindy. I ran out of quests pretty quick with my first class/job combo and ended up doing plenty of FATE and levequest grinding and have a bunch more to go.
Just wondering in which world you live where you do not have to pay in shops, restaurants, homes, ... where everything can function and work for free. :-)
On another note, thing's I do at end game:
1 - Dungeons
2 - FATES
3 - Triple Triad
4 - Moogle Mail
5 - Beast tribe
6 - Chocobo Racing
7 - Hunts
8 - Guildhests (some i have not done yet)
9 - Field and battlecraft leves
10 - Primal Ponies
11 - Free Company Trivia (every Friday Night)
12 - Weekly Static (2 days, wednesday and sunday)
13 - Crafting (my crafters are at 50 but I did none of the story yet)
14 - Leveling alts (which has become VERY easy now)
15 - Train my chocobo
16 - RELIC (need I say more)
17 - Getting my glam gear I want
18 - Getting Scrips (the blue ones)
19 - Continuing the story with the other jobs I have to get to 60 (their all 50 cept my 56 drg)
20 - FC world race (tuesday)-------(VERY FUN)
21- I need my buddy to die 200 time so I can rez him for the achievement.
22 - Try tanking more.
23 - Oh shit I gotta get my gatherer's up too. I love fishing and mining and botany.
=========================================================================
So yeah I can keep going too.
Again, not the games fault YOU can not find something to do at end game.
If you have done EVERYTHING you want to do, then move on. At end game, i'm having a blast.
Vengance against other? How old are you? You need to take a step back and take a deep breath, kid, because you are seeing things that are not there.
The Lodestone news was worded a little weird but i linked it for everyone to read and see for yourself. I was wrong and there is no free month, however you do get 10 iLevel 120 items which is a full set lats time i checked.
