Honestly, the only big things I'll have to wag my finger to the devs are the Hrothgar hair fiasco, and the now current lottery system being bugged. These two issues I cant glance over and the devs seriously need to do better as they're universally unacceptable Maaaaaybe fit in current jobs since thats a whole 'nother debate where I lean towards both sides arguing for or against some changes.
Other than that, Ive been perfectly fine with EW and 6.1. People are allowed to like and dislike things about this game but to say that this game has gotten as bad as retail WoW is just dumb.
Yoshi-P is just Ion Hazzikostas with a good attendance card

Very brave of you to dare to say anything negative about Heavenly Golden Dragon God Emperor Star Ancestor Yoshi-P.
I agree with you though. -

To say nothing of the situation Hrothgar face.
From the interview in question:

It's good that he added them, though they were only added in response to criticism and it's his job to deduce what is and isn't a beneficial addition to the game. Personally I still think WoW has a broader range of playable races overall to suit a greater number of personal tastes. I miss some of the playable options, to be honest. -

No...
There are problems in FFXIV and I don't like some of the design decisions, but the issues and complaints we have about the game are extremely minor in comparison to WoW.
I mean yeah I get it, no ears for Hrothgar memes.
But in the grand scheme of things that stuff comes nowhere close at all to the issues in WoW.
I think the stuff we complain about sorta proves how good we actually do have it.
That's not to say that there aren't problems and that we shouldn't complain and give feedback.
But at least I don't have to question my own morals for giving the devs money in FFXIV. -

To be quite honest, I feel SE needs to stop siphoning money from this project and pushing it to other games. They need to invest more resources financially speaking into this game. Stop taking the profits from it and only minimally reciprocating back into the game. I have this strange feeling that alot of 14's profits go to things like stranger of paradise INSTEAD of improving the overall structure of this game.

04-17-2022, 05:49 AMRanakuYeah sure but it's nothing the OP would know about, the fact that Viera only made it into the game cause the devs gave in to the begging community is something OP can most relate to.Quote:

Or how mch and bard were casters in HW and they listened to the feedback and got rid of this. -
04-17-2022, 05:54 AMKizuyaKatogamiCan we talk about how they’ve ignored healers for 6+ years now and now recently when they acknowledged them it was to say if they want engaging gameplay go do ultimate? Instead of yknow, addressing the problem directly.Quote:

Why do you think a game has to get to a point where the core community hates playing it? I don't feel that Yoshi-P and his team ever want that situation and neither do many players. It's perfectly fine to want value for your money. And I think you mistake many of us still thinking positively of Yoshi-P and being willing to give the team the benefit of the doubt with blind worship. Many of us do think fondly of him and the team because they may falter (and we bring those instances to light, I'm a healer main and I found the Ultimate comment very odd) but they've also done very right by us. They do stumble sometimes, but their love and care for the game comes through loud and clear. That makes us love and care for the game and want to help them with feedback when they stumble.

04-17-2022, 06:01 AMRanakuThing is OP compared Yoshi P. to someone who clearly never listened to his community. While playing a race that is literally proof of Yoshi P. and the dev team listening to the community.Quote:

But i think we aren't quite there yet at the dismissing your community cubicle crawling alcoholic level of devs that drive their own female workers into suicide and letting all this happening by turning blind eyes on everything while only pushing out shit for the players.
This situation is also the communities fault at the end of the day cause they created these exaggerated standards to which SE now has to live up. FFXIV clearly isn't perfect and there are many flaws like the absence of something so simple as a glam log and the housing crisis and content that is getting cut from the game clearly. But dragging the devs that much through the mud while playing something that is only possible cause the devs actually listened to their players is quite hilarious to me.
