Do you really think that little of your player base?

[FrankReynolds]

Honestly, as true as this is, I think another huge thing we're missing right now is cohesion with the other player bases. Specifically, communication with the JP playerbase, such that we have some idea what in the hell they want. It'd be really, really nice to know the JP community's thoughts on a lot of the things we consider important issues, because it would both demonstrate to us why certain things happen despite us screaming our lungs out, and it would also hopefully point out to SE how much they play favorites, and how blatantly insulting it is.

that, and really, there are some things the JP players prioritize that just make absolutely no sense.

Too bad google translate is so bad. I really wish I could communicate with the JP forums.

EDIT: Also, I hate dealing with so much gear and crappy moogle slips, but I would much prefer hunting down 1,000 items with relatively decent drop rates over having to do the same thing 1,000,000 times to get that one uberomgIneverhavetoswapthispieceoutagain piece of gear.

A mix of magian trial type things that allow you to combine the 1,000 situational pieces from time to time, combined with a better macro system and a better storage system would be a huge improvement.

One can only dream.

First off, they do not have to tell you how the game works behind the scenes. Thats sorta how hackers/exploiters get data to make hax and exploits.

Second, luck based systems been in rpg since table top. You sorta NEED them in rpg because if everything was 100% content would would become obsolete that much faster.

Lastly, as for job balance, the fault lies with you guys. You guys pretty much fk'ed with the system. Now SE has to scramble to pretty much balnce the game around you guys.

This game worked so much better when gear swaping wasn't the norm.

oh god... I cant explain how much retardedness and idiocity is in this post... sorry, but this whole post is bullshit.

Oh Rosina the 1%er... Luckily nobody cares what you think.

I am convinced that you do not know what you are talking about.

See panel four of signature for appropriate facial response.

Blah as much as i do not like rosy lay off her/him, hasn't made another post yet.

[Kojo]

Anyways to elaborate i started this thread in hopes of enlightening the dev team exactly what kind of message they are sending the players.

That they are missing the point that you cannot fool us when you're just trying to BS, that your logic is constantly flawed and that the reasons you are giving are either excuses or made from plain ignorance on the way things are.

A grain of salt is order when it comes to our wants and suggestions but i can guarantee we know better then you what ails this game and while many fail to suggest work arounds and solutions, what few furnished are blatantly disgregarded, many suggestions may be off kilter, skewed or just plain off basis but at least look into the ones the player base is supporting, isn't that the reason we came up with these forums?

I think they know what we mean and get what we're saying, I have a feeling they are just being stubborn just to spite us. I've already decided that once the FFXI servers go down (please don't discuss this further) I won't be playing anymore MMOs. Definately not FFXIV, due to the way SE seems to handle things. The way they are doing things doesn't seem too good for them, the company that has provided so much constant entertainment for the past 15 years, after a friend introduced me to FFVII, when I was 7 or 8.

i meant to say, annoying extra macros to push, if i'm fighting a mob that needs more acc/str/etc. to get good numbahs.

and i still haven't tried my scythe out yet...but my mooglesuit...
oh dear.

Oh no.. I never wear the suit, but I'm glad I have it so if I decide to, looks great on Taru, odd on everything else.

Also, as awkward as Rosi's responses are, let's not get too out of hand or they'll lock the thread due to verbal abuse or something.

[Nala]

Oh dear lord... I read the quoted spankwustler as "can you imagine wanking up each morning..." x.x

I can't really speak for 14 good or bad but from what i do understand its actually being handled properly by comparison, however given that they are both ultimately from the same company that doesn't mean they cant start changing their tune soon as they start getting what they want out of 14 (aka profit)

[Nawesemo]

it changes, we take breaks, we come back , it changes more we like, dislike, but we always come back in anycase, thank you for manawall and manawell.

[Sarick]

A community representative will not touch on this topics subject because it'll incite more anger with the response message.

Rosia secondly, I was swapping gear back in 2004-2005 on my PS2 the moment I hit 51+. Mages just needed the staff swapping for enfeebling and resting.

[Nala]

Eh not expecting much more then a thread lock at some point, i just hope that the message is relayed because the comrep responses are well i cant even find a nice way to put it just some level beyond lack luster, considering i'm pretty sure a few of the comrep's play this game can only imagine how they must feel when they HAVE to give us half assed answers.
