Gratification to Matsui

[Daemon]

I only said thank you for the last 2 updates O_o. What does Vanafest 2013 complaints have anything to do with thanking him, the DEV Team and reps doing a good job for those updates?

[OmnysValefor]

Let me put that in perspective.

"I only said thank you for things [they've recently done], what does their recent exclusion of a major share of their players have to do with thanking them."

Because, you are forever the optimist, or a troll. You're trying to hard to paint everything as if its wonderful, and I don't know if you see it but you're severely in the minority. (edit, lol, said majority)

We're not better players than you because of this, but you'll also note that a lot of us have a lot more experience with recent content than you do. I love to ride the roller coaster at six flags, but I'd be complaining if they closed down every other ride. I'd have harsh words for the guy saying "But guys, calm down, I rode the roller coaster once, and it was so much fun."

(Yeah yeah, I know, past events aren't closed, but there's little point in doing them.)

This boils down to *you* saying to all the new people:

Ya guys, I totally did all the content before SoA came out... It was AWESOME! Too bad for you since you shouldn't (can't) do it because no one does.

Yeah forums, people love to step in and judge others. The more negative you are the more likes you get. Because its better to trash people, complain, and never look on the bright side of things.

And last 2 months he did do a Great job. This post has nothing to do with Vanafest or anything else.

Your post made me lose respect for you.

I'm glad you know me and no that I have no interest in several VW fights, nor Odin II, nor old salvage, and new.

Oh wait, I do.

Open your eyes. I don't see SoA the same as VW, Odin, Salvage. I see a new direction much easier than previous content. No resist on mobs yay enfeebling actually works. No more endless quests and missions. No daily time restrictions on events. No more camping endless hours for bosses, no more competing with others to fight a boss...

To me that's improvement.

Need I say more? Seriously you are only proving that nothing is good enough and you will never be satisfied.

There were people who max upgraded to 15 in less than 2 week on Delve gears. Much more easier than REM trials.

I didn't know you want to do all that old content like assaults, dynamis, city mission, old and new salvage, sky, sea, etc... If you do, then why go and announce that it's all dead to people? It makes you sound like you think it's dead and that it should stay dead. Pessimism brings negative thoughts, and those negative thoughts fester until you say something like "All the old stuff is dead so don't bother doing it."

Yeah I misunderstood too. I want both of you to know that a good portion of my ideas relate to old content. And how SE could give us interest to go back and do them.

I try to think of ideas that a good portion of the community can benefit from it.

Other comments I've made throughout other threads like allowing us to have restrictions removed off Nyzul, NNI, Salvage but doesn't look like that will become a reality.

Then there's the 2 guides I wrote with the intention of helping people.

Beginners Guide

Guide for Returning players

So I do care. Just I try to look at all perspectives that can help everyone including new players just starting. But also from the POV of the Devs and the obstacles they face.

So yeah that's why I can be stubborn. Looking at things from all perspectives and not just a certain side.

I'm totally down with all the stuff... There was so much stuff to do when I first started a couple years ago, and the jobs I love to play (BLM and RNG) get 0 love whatsoever from the playerbase... It was all about trying to get quests and missions done. I play with my wife, but there was only so much we could do with only the 2 of us. Now that the level has been increased, and with all the Adoulin Gear, I'm finally able to get out and enjoy this game for the storyline. I don't want to be able to solo everything, but at least with the main storylines, I figured any well-balanced group of any jobs should be able to go through it and get it done.

I'm finding that SE is putting in little hints to go back to old content, like popsets in flotsam. I also know how much pressure they're under because of both games working at the same time. I hope that they can keep both of them afloat...

Yeah I'm seeing a lot of good improvements. I love that they added DD stats to Mage Bayld gears STR!!!
