The OFFICIAL "I intend on Quitting, and here is why" Thread

[Anewie]

This forum is depressing and angry honestly.

I honestly think it woulda been better not to have it, they should honestly do away with it.

On the XIV forums, at least last time I checked, its a totally different environment. I remember reading several threads that were positive and friendly. On here, it's basically a bunch of catty, delusional, hypocritical, biased pressed players either throwing tantrums or calling names.. AT THE PEOPLE THEY want to listen to them. I'm not above it, but you will never again see me making threads attacking devs or people for not sharing my opinion.

Voidwatch drops rate suck. New flash, this isn't anything new to endgame. They made voidwatch system the way they did to prevent cheating, greifing or drama amongst us. They had good intentions. Some of the drops are amazing, and should be super rare. THE ONLY real issue is the same person getting the same drop over and over when they already have it and people who are 0/200 are waiting.

Simple solution is ask the devs to make it so, the same item will not load in a chest, by a player who already has the item. DING DING DING DING DING, We have a winner. Problem solved KTHXBAI. But I' not even gonna lie to myself and pretend that would solve anything. The same people spamming this forum about that issue are more than likely, just as upset, it's so rare as it is, that a person who already has it is getting it. Once and if they change how items load to players who already have it, these same whiners will be back moaning about the drop rate.

So that's why I roll my eyes when I see some people complaining about VW drops and using the "This person keeps getting this item when they already have it!, this is so unfair! make it a point system!" excuse. Because they are not campaigning to abolish others from getting an item over and over, they are campaigning for a more convenient way of obtaining those rare drops. AK they want higher drop rates or point system.

I totally support and encourage the devs to adjust it, there is no reason why a coruscanti thf, gets a second coruscanti after 5 fights. That's bs. Do I want a point system? I wouldn't mind it. I am laid back with SE policies honestly. But I've said before people are asking for too much if they expect an endgames best gear to be of the einherjar ampoules/cp/isp nature. That is not happening and will never happen for the best or near the best gears.

People need to understand, SE, I repeat, SQUARE ENIX is interested in one thing. Your money. In their mind, It is bad business practice for them to make endgame gear obtainable without grind and luck. This is for several reasons but i'll just state the obvious:

FFXIV is bombing and sucking up a lot of money. Their franchise sales are down something like 50%(?) from where they were 6-7 years ago. This company is losing a lot of profit and fast. Theyre not struggling by any means, but they are losing a lot of money and street cred. They don't have the resources to develop content that is very meaty. Like Sea,Sky,new expansions (least not atm), and give it a plush appeal.

I believe they are making endgame of the grind and luck nature because of this. I'm gonna guess they think if theres a lot of luck and grind involved, we will play longer and be more dedicated. If there was a point system, or a system that didn't involve luck+grind, some people would breeze through it if it's linear.

They also want some gear to be extremely rare. Meaning only a select group of people have it. If there's a point system it robs an item of it's exclusiveness or specialty. Even if it costs a ridiculous amount of points, and time, there is no luck involved and anyone with the time can get it. SE has hinted in the past, they underestimated the player bases dedication to time and i'm sure they are tredding lightly not to make such a mistake again. HNMs are en example, you really think they intended us to camp that stuff the way we did? No, they wanted us to "stumble upon it eventually" like a rare surprise. SE has similar views for their special toys. They want us to grind for it, with a bit of luck

It's no surprise either, its a jp run and developed game. They believe whole heartedly in exclusiveness and status in endgame. These are just my opinions on them as a company and xi. Don't get pissy with me.
