Why cant we post here?

Yeah, that's exactly right.

You'd think non-subscribers would offer constructive criticism about how to make the game such that they'd be interested in returning. But that doesn't end up happening. Mostly the people who haven't played and don't know what they're talking about just trollololol the paying customers and then it just becomes a fanboy vs hater battle instead of there being intelligent discussion.

You laugh now, but obviously you didn't pay any attention to the FFXIV boards, where this happened on a regular basis from the day they opened til the day non-players were shut out.

Besides, all they had to do was actually play the game for a day and then they could post again- it makes it so that if you care enough to post, then you care enough to play.

Only in FF14 everyone was a paying customer because they paid 50 or 80 to buy the game. Since they have yet to change any type of fee for it.

Until they start charging for it, feel free to use the phrase 'active customer" if it makes you happier.

It's not like they ever tell us what we want to hear though. We're completely ignored on the test server forums, and 90% of the time a rep replies in the English side of the forum, it's from stuff asked from the JP playerbase that gets translated and squeezed into a relevant thread on our end.

And don't get me started on the excuses regarding abysmal drop-rates in the current end-game events that they pretend is not a problem as far as maintaining player subscription rates are at.


If they won't listen to the paying, then it doesn't matter if the unsubscribed cannot post.


I feel sorry for those in the FR/GR communities that get left out even further.

DE is the appropriate abbriviation for german- Anyway, the german community is only really ignored because what community there is isn't really posting here. I've actually seen a fair bit of french board activity.

Most of the french/german players I've met speak English and actually prefer the English version because the localization is better (which is honestly a shame, but the good news is I've seen a few french posts reporting localization errors and getting responses from the FR localization team- perhaps if more of them report these than at least that can be addressed- but since many of these players use the english localization, they may or may not be aware of specific errors in the FR/DE text.)

Then there are plenty of community sites they can post on.

This forum wasn't intended to replace or kill any other community forum or site.

Posting on other sites fourms doesnt exactly help if your trying to post here...

Whooosh....

That's the whole point. If you aren't actively playing, you can't post. That's all there is to it. SE is not the first to have forums for their games that can only be accessed by paying customers, and it won't be the last.

As I said. Post on another forum if you can't post here. We have several active communities willing to discuss anything with you. See below for one. See FFXIAH for another. See BlueGartr for another. See Zam for another. Once you've subscribed again, welcome back.

Posting on here doesn't exactly help if you're trying to post here in the English forums either.
