Mog Wardrobe 3&4 feedback.

[Raydeus]

Nope.

I understand why the suits want to move in that direction (because it worked in XIV), but it's a really scummy move for XI. And if things keep moving this way, like it was when they decided to not unlock crafting caps because they didn't want people to cancel their crafting mules, I think I'll be done with the game sooner than expected.

But that's just my personal opinion. What does everyone else think?


PS > My one request for the devs though, is that once this "optional service" is implemented the Wardrobe 3&4 buttons do not appear in the UI if we do not have the service enabled. Or that at least the UI skips them if not in use. Because if I have to move around them when accessing my inventory it's going to get really annoying really fast.

I think I'll be paying a few more dollars a month to SE for the foreseeable future.

I will not play their little game, they are already doing it on pretty much all of their other games. I always said to myself that if something like this happened in FFXI I would probably end up leaving.

We are already paying full subscription price for a game that cannot be developped anymore, there is no reason at all we should be paying a penny more for this game considering SE never made any effort to upgrade the game or give it the attention it deserved.
Now I understand why all this augmenting system went completely out of hand, they probably already had this in mind.

To be fair the subscription is less now than it used to be, if you think otherwise you don't understand how inflation works.

I'd be lying if I said I was disappointed about this at first glance. My first thought was 'hell yes' but logic quickly took over.

I guess my 38ish dollars a month for this game didn't warrant them giving me these bags for free...

My point is, why would they ever think this would fly when 1)no more major updates 2)no more expansions-not that we got alot of them over FOURTEEN years 3)still paying full price(inflation whatever)after 14 years as if that sub fee is going to anything other than an ultra thinned skeleton XI crew to do nothing but minor updates with what little hardware they have left that works.

But let's pretend that sub fee + mule costs don't exist and charge 2 dolla per wardrobe inventory space.

The sad part is there's some black suits slapping each others backs thinking this was a great idea and it's extremely unlikely it's going to change just because we all in large part object to it because it's an insult. It's apparently the final insult for some players who have already quit.

So we don't get much anymore for our money but we could continue to get that sweet inventory space. Oh wait-

You know, I suspect that the excuse will be that everyone getting WD3&4 would cause too much strain(lol) on the servers so by charging for them, fewer will have access and thus, less strain. If that's the excuse it'd been better to make a highly difficult quest and deal with the whining for that, like along the lines of that afterglow shit. At least then there's no one quitting over it.

The first is to mitigate against the increased stress placed on the servers from storage. Besides the increased loading times for items that occurs for each character, it’s very important to consider the issue where adding inventory support to all characters would cause stress on the entire server. Thus, one of the main reasons why this is an optional service requiring a fee is to mitigate as much of this server stress as possible. We’re building an environment tailored to those who wish to expand their inventory.

OH COME ON!

If paying for Wardrobe 3 + 4 makes my life easier, makes me able to play some other jobs without worrying about space, and eventually pays for a new expansion, I am all over it.

Well the problem here is they said last year there wont be anymore expansions.
I agree with the fact that we already pay full price for a what? 15 year old game. They have stated they have no intent to upgrade the UI, they cant make new content cause of the not available devkits. And now they want to milk it like this, its a slap in the face for the people who have supported this game for so long.

Pretty sure Abyssea was created as a "last hurrah" for the game and nothing more was supposed to come. And then we ended up with Seekers. I wouldn't be surprised if we ended up getting a new addon somewhere along the way.

I agree. Looking through milked glasses can sometimes make the most wonderful shapes... in other words, just because it appears to be murky, doesn't mean it's not beautiful.

This "could" be an indication to determine continued interest in game longevity... cause logically speaking if you need more space, you'll be playing more content; perhaps the more folks add space (3&4) can be an indication of the health of the overall games continued longevity which could, theoretically, cause an expansion or two down the road...
