I apologize, albeit backhandedly.

I couldn't understand why you would bring up your chest opening rate if you weren't implying that the OP was failing at it.

I see now that you were using your...

Wow that is... amazing...

Where does the OP imply that they aren't getting chests to drop?

Where do they imply that they aren't getting the chests to open?

The math and logic I refer to have...

Assume there is a 10% chance of getting something you want.

At least one in every ten people will get that item on the first try, and never complain. They may even be realistic and call themselves...

Well, two points, which I'd be happy to have 'torn apart'.

Firstly, haven't we all known for the longest time that there's something additional done when hate values change largely? Hate resets on...

Well, might as well contradict.

As WHM, while Afflatus Solace and Misery are not 'required to play out the roles of those jobs', the 'stance' type ones specifically tilt things in a direction...

Maybe only 1.23% of the playerbase plays BRD seriously because they don't have the time to get all the gear required for people to actually 'let them play Bard'.

I'm just pointing out that one...

So far the only 'downside' I have noted is that currently, attacks that strip you of your gear also auto-reset you to Inventory storage option over Wardrobe storage option from Equip screen (whereas...

This is circular logic though, isn't it?

We don't have throwing WS because throwing is not a main source of attack for battles? (Actually I think we were either told or implied at some point...

It's complex to answer but I'm gonna be the one that says yes, with hopefully clear reasons why.

SE has done a lot of quality of life improvements to FFXI since Abyssea/Adoulin.

Most of those...

This is actually a perfect benchmark for this. When a particular job is so annoyed by a change, even an addition, that they'd rather have nothing just so they don't have to be annoyed by seeing it in...

Very well. At this point it really comes down to how right you are about the idea that 'no one made these'.

I understand of course that more people would have gone the full nine yards and made the...

This is so incredibly basic to understand, and while I understand that some may not agree, I ask that they make another effort to understand.

This is about what the player thought they were doing...

Eh, I would just like to add my support to Stompa, and note that this is just obvious, I as usual have little or no personal interest or benefit in the outcome, but I'll still 'stand in agreement'....

Sometimes I just want to hug him.

Not because I think what he does is good. Not because I like the content or that any of it is remotely relevant to me, but simply because I can only IMAGINE what...

Thank you, Mr. Matsui, for letting us know what type of feedback you need most at this time. I hope you continue to be well, and that these opinions are useful to you.

Before I begin I would like...

That's a bit of a blanket, Mirage.

As a game designer and tester also, I (and my team) have great HOPE for FFXIV, and great respect for Yoshi-P, but we're mostly concerned for that game's...

Racing rewards at those numbers is just an inflationary gil-pump. There are definitely people whose chocobo can win nearly every Crystal Stakes, and there are enough of those people on some servers...

Sorry to hear your experience is bad but just throwing it out that if other servers are actually doing more Fluxes, the only likely solution is 'adding more desired drops to others'.

On Leviathan...

Pointing out the 'bad parts of an era' does not negate the good parts, nor vice versa.

And this is where Zagen's logic beats anything we can say, no sarcasm. The only flaw here is that the stick that dangles the carrot got further away and human nature wasn't taken into account.

Why...

You're quite right, Zagen, but I don't think putting the burden of proof on someone else works either. I'm not sure what makes you think that 50% or more of the playerbase did want high gear...

Ok, then I'll bow out of this discussion, since your concept of what fun/balance is, is fundamentally different. I play NIN because it has evasion and does the specific things it does, for the most...

My point is that there will always be 'tendencies'. They can at best minimize them. I'm not sure what you are really saying?

What game design can you make where an interesting event can be...

I don't know who you knew, and I definitely won't disagree with this for a particular reason. When you read the 'optimal strategy' for any Assault, for example, there's usually this specific set of...

Yeah, also, you have to note that casual players easily can just 'stop'. Act like an expansion never happened. After all, all our old content can be beaten by the gear appropriate for the old...
