Letter to SE Development Team: Tanka I hope you read this

[Greatguardian]

All about in what way? lol. (If this is too off-topic, we can take it to PMs. Don't want to get a thread locked mid-conversation).

[Karbuncle]

I'll send you a PM on BG

[Creelo]

Love how this thread turned into players talking about downloading other good games instead of playing FFXI lol

Hope SE sees it as an indicator that they need to step their shit up; although, they probably won't do anything.

[Karbuncle]

Nah, They'll just close it, Mumble something about Off-Topic

[Erics]

I might even download it >.>;

[Vold]

Did not know ST went to f2p... hmmm... kinda makes me feel like looking at SE and screaming "PREPARE FOR RAMMING SPEED!" cause like I've been milked of my resources and it's time to take them with me. Or something.

I guess I need to install lotr and star trek and give them a whirl. Free is free ;o

[Trisscar]

When people start leaving for F2P MMOs you know the game is in bad shape heheh.

I'm sticking around waiting for the next roadmap. Already canceled 1 of my 2 accounts and my roommate and nearly all of my friends have canceled thier accounts and I am just hanging onto my main with that "just in case" hope. If they dont announce a new expansion or content that sounds worth it I will cancel this account too.

Funny cause they are making leaps and bounds improving xiv (although it would have been hard to get any worse) and constantly fixing what they broke and now tons of content is trickling in but xi is getting stagnant. Idk why they cant think of something new and exciting to add to xi too instead of just reintroducing what we already have.

The reason I dont really play is cause Im tired of spamming nm to upgrade gear I already spent months and/or years gather items to upgrade. It used to be satisfying to swing your relic axe or summon garuda with ur nirvana but now that anyone who started last month can swing around empyerean (or even relic with the ease of getting the items/gil these days) its lost its luster.

I agree with the op, se needs to step up their game in xi, maybe Tanaka should have a coffee with Yoshi P to find out how to fix what was broken...oh wait he's the one that broke what Yoshi is fixing in the first place

Look at FFXIV, it wasn't long ago and it was the same guy in charge. He won't do a damn thing no matter how many leave, the only time something might change is if the bosses start to realise money is dropping fast. I'm amazed we haven't had a statement blaming the players for not likeing "new" content cause they just don't get the amazing design ideas or blaming western players for poisoning the JP players against it.

It's sad to see the exact failures of FFXIV repeating themselves here lol I wonder if they really do think that will send XI players to XIV? XD At least other companies will profit from their stupidity I guess, XIV sure won't.

I think it's just a marketing plan honestly, FFXIV is his new baby and I wouldn't put it past them/him to be sabotaging XI to make us move over. Maybe I'm wrong but considering what a mess they are making of FFXI while building up XIV maybe not. I guess they just see us all as dumbasses that will all flock to the new game if they crap this one up enough, I doubt we are all the stupid sheep they think we are.

SE, can you save all of us the trouble and just tell us one of two things...
1. You are not going to make new content, but rather refurbish old content, or the new content you will provide has no storyline and is a waste of time, thus letting us, your audience know. Just how much you don't care, and are really just stringing us along with hopes and dreams of new content, when in truth, you just want our money. So that we can fund your complete overhaul of FFXIV, even though more than half of your player base has given up on that game or has vowed to leave FF MMO's entirely if this game is to be closed.

2. You're already overhauling the whole f*cking game of FFXIV, why not make it so that FFXI players can transfer over their characters for the new frontier! Hell you are already implementing old jobs into the game now anyway after you realized how much of a f*ck up you made by making it entirely new and alien to FF fans. I mean you can even make certain job classes only available to those that have FFXI, to reward your veteran members of your community that have been putting up with the crap you call content over the past "Abyssea Years" and how far you have fallen from the Golden ages of ToAU and WotG....


Please just answer as one of these two answers so those of us that trust you will do the right thing can either.
A. Give up.
B. Fight the good fight for a worthy cause.

Make the right decision already cuz I'm one of those long time player base from the N.A release days thats pretty much given up on you. And you gotta earn my money pretty soon before I take it away.
