Why is it that I can not go a day playing FF without seeing someone complain about SE.

With the current struggles as of late, let me fix this post and turn it into a whole new topic, what the first sentence should have said was...

Why is it that i cannot go a single day without playing FFXI. It's been 5 days, i will probably commit suicide!!!

no doubt u speak of the BCNM's, however, they CAN be sold is the point, except you obtain them a different way, and actually what they did with that was stupid. Cuz Leaping Lizzy you have to wait for. U can do BCNM infinite number of times, and have the mob u need instantly everytime. The BCNM should be the nontradable ones, you can spam that, Leaping Lizzy you have to wait till you eventually fall asleep and some other ass runs by and pwns it while ur sitting there drooling on your keyboard cuz u been sittin there for 3 DAYS!!!! LOL

Players of Final Fantasy XI either have to take the game as it is and role with it. Like most people who complain about life and go on living. Why, what is it that keeps 'em going? If you can answer this, then my friend, your troubles isn't that great.

I'm fine, I haven't logged into the world of Vana diel for over a month before the tragedy in Japan. I so with I can depart the life of fantasy and face reality, maybe help those suffering families who have it worse. As if tragedies aren't bad enough, in Japan (I fear) has many people missing. Most of our tech, games and business comes from Japan. If this thread is about people who complain then is should warn them about who has the right to complain.

Suicide for some is a factor when faced with shame, for a person who faces dishonor this is a means of escape. Are people doing this now, I don't know but here a history on Seppuko:

Put simply, just because something might not be a problem for one person doesn't mean it's not a problem for another. I consider a subscription into FFXI an investment in its evolution. It's not so much, a "My way or the highway!" as I don't believe in the whole, "If you don't like it, quit!" mentality since it just shows a complete lack of faith in the devs. And if everyone did that, the money would go poof. You then put the remaining players in the situation where if expenses aren't covered by subs, SE either does something desperate to try to win people back or just closes up shop. Given how MMOs rarely get a second chance from people, the latter situation seems more likely to me.

Now, feedback isn't inherently bad. I find the troll threads and posts irksome, and while some might want to pull their hair out at the thoughts others express, they'd rather throw a tantrum instead of trying to politely correct a wrong. At minimum, we should probably note that of all ideas posted here, they will need to be translated. I also suspect whoever handles that further picks a perception of the good from the bad. The more verbose and complicated you make something (Like the Gym idea), the less likely it's going to be conveyed. The downside of this is since the FFXI community can be rather stubborn in their views, you almost need to go into long spiels to help justify something.

I'm not searching for trolls or complaining per say. I just want to know why it seems hard for some people to enjoy the game. Over the last couple of days I've contemplated that a lot of people get so overly emerged in the game that they let it consume them. Feeling angry and something going wrong in the real world you blame a higher power. In FFXI the higher power is SE, so perhaps it's a cry out to "God" to satiate their own frustration.

Honestly, I'm the last person in the world that wants to deal with drama. I'm not gonna be one who starts it. Thanks those of you who actually read the post and commented without any condescending demeanor, I appreciate that.

On a side note. Bacon Mage.

What I am about to mention just haunts me at times. I don't understand it, and I hope someone can shed some light on the matter.

Why is it that I can not go a day playing FF without seeing someone complain about SE? FF is a retreat from the real world for me. It's a great way for me to relax at home after my family is asleep and I'm able to jump into a virtual realm to escape real life matters.

Such an example is something like "I didn't get the drop I wanted. The drop rate is too low. THANKS SE. I HATE THIS GAME.". Seriously? This guy is constantly complaining about things like this, yet he still PAYS for the service? You know, if someone just quit because of this, that's more rational. However people will continue to play day after day, just to complain.

Call me old fashioned, but a game is intended to be fun. It's just that I get such a huge drag from seeing so many players that complain on a regular basis. I enjoy the challenge and hard-work that goes into obtaining something that you want, even if that challenge is monotonous and requires a large amount of effort. I totally understand getting frustrated, I'm 0/100+ on both Leaping Lizzy and the Valkurm Emperor, but this seems like a different matter alltogether.

TL;DR
Play and have fun, or GTFO.

Because MMO players are ingrates. I had a former F2P MMO where the devs listened to the player base, and gave them exactly what they wanted back/upgraded, and lo and behold, OMG THIS CLAS IS OVERPOWERED, THESE GUYS ARE LEECHING NOOBS, ONLY THE BEST PLAYERS CAN BEAT US AT THE THING WE WANTED SO BADLY QQQQ. (All bs fallacious argument to be exact.) The update gave them exactly what they wanted, ad still they scorn the company... players are naturally whiners.
