Are We Wasting Our Time?

[Shadowsong]

It may be enough of a problem for me to quit, which is why I'm trying to better understand it. That's a curious use of the word boycott, you don't seem to be able to comprehend things outside of the context of the U.S. government or something. This has nothing to do with the law. Do you know that SE also has the right to ban you for no reason at all? It's in the ToS. I'm sure if they randomly banned you for absolutely no reason at all you wouldn't complain though- you can't sue them, so it's ok and shouldn't be discussed!

US Government? What? Where is that coming from? Also sueing a game company for violating their ToS? God, I really hope there is no one in this world who cares enough about this that they would attempt something like that.
Would I be happy if I got banned for no reason? no. Do they have the right to do so? yes. Would I whine on a forum? no.

What is there to understand? This treatment has been going on for nearly a decade.

The simple fact of the matter is: you pay a company to provide a service. If you are happy with the service you keep paying. If you are unhappy you can attempt to change it. When a problem has been going on for EIGHT YEARS and theres zero chance of it changing, you quit. This is logic a 7 year old understands.

just checked german forum: the majority of german speaking players favor Hippogryph. I will count it later today, but need to go to university now.

Tanaka is back in charge, or at least no longer in the shame corner. The guy who actually wanted the English Forums listened to has been moved to FFXIV. Basically the current boss has no desire to even read what we write, much less to actually listen.

A clue for the clueless, as much as it can be simplified: this topic has nothing to do with hippo over scorp, which one is better, and whether getting hippo has made us happy in our pants or not. That debate can be found for many more pages over in the actual poll where our opinions were, you know, taken into account. This topic is about recognizing whether our opinions, in topics such as that, are really worth even being considered in a poll, since, well, the results don't really seem to show them to be. And the real shocker is that these kinds of concerns aren't just limited to this specific time and place. You don't have to be a butt-hurt BST to feel a bit concerned, or at least intrigued by how the selection of hippo came to be, since this kind of behavior has happened in the past, and without some kind of feedback could easily happen in the future.

I was under the impression that the whole point in offering hippo was due to there being no bird-family jugs... then they come out with Apkallu and go with the minority vote of hippo anyway...

Maybe I missed something in the reasoning though, my BST was Maat only.

I think SE should give us all of the top Five most voted Jugs. This action would quil all our flames.

Not really, considering the issue has nothing to do with jugs.

You do understand this tread was started because of Pet jugs dont you?

Pet jugs were used as an example of the problem this topic addresses. It is not about pet jugs specifically.

You did read the thread, right? Like, even the first post? It's absolutely not about the jugs themselves. No one cares if they add Scorpion, or Hippo, or Walrus. The grievance that the thread is airing is that a vote from all regions was asked for, and the subsequent results from Non-JP regions were seemingly ignored.

I'm not surprised that the Dev team does not take the English speaking community seriously. This thread is a perfect example of how most of the forum posters here act. Someone make a thread with sincerity and gets trolled to hell.

I hope for the game sake they never take this community seriously with any suggestions.

The JP, EU, and Cthulu regions really aren't any better. The internet is the internet, people are people. That will always be true, regardless of language or geographical background.
