you really dont need to advertise your leave

People leaving are just begging for attention. It's not even a lot of players. If it was, this place would be NOTHING but leave posts. Just ignore them. They're a hurt minority who wants to spew one last bit of vitriol and get some kind of pat on the back from others who think like them.

yikes what a take

When Mao leaves a game, Mao quietsly leaves and never looks back. Mao can understand those whats want to be vocal abouts leaving though and Mao bears such peoples no ill will. Sometimes thems even give detailed reasons for leaving and that can be helpful for making peoples think abouts things.

Gotta love the hypocrisy of the forums. When healers make a strike thread for feedback they get swarmed with snarky replies like "the only way they'll care about your feedback is if you also quit the game".

Then people start making threads saying "here's my feedback and yes I'm quitting the game" and now you all change your stance? Pick a lane.

Funny how that happens, isn't it? I love how when people post feedback, if it doesn't align with some folks thoughts and feelings the general response is "Omg just quit then and leave us alone!" I literally had someone say that to me and I just said, (and I quote myself) : "You give up easy when the going gets rough, don't you? They messed up with DT on the story by a LARGE margin, though it's really the first time they've stumbled this hard. Sure Lyse and Stormblood was a hiccup too, but not nearly as bad. Even if you hated stormblood, this is what, 2 bad Expacs over the 10 years with twice as many good ones? Just because they stumble now and then, doesn't mean you ditch them. It's only after they do it consistently do you say "I've had enough."

Sure, i'm against healers having more DPS options, but i'm for nerfing tank and DPS self sustainability in order to make the healer job more busy, and more crucial to the party. Though I have NEVER told anyone to "just quit then". Everyone is entitled to an opinion, everyone is entitled to give feedback on the forums why they are quitting / staying or dissatisfied / satisfied. Doesn't mean everyone has to like it, but on the flip side others also entitled to have an antagonistic to opinion to their opinion. The whole "Just shut up and quit without saying anything" opinion runs counterproductive of what the forums are used for.

Honestly, I feel like the "Just quit then" people are the ones who can't stand there are people in the world that don't agree with them. Like they think the world should be tailor made to their specific desires. If someone isn't on their page and and helping surround themselves with others just like them, then they just "need to go".

Most of the people who are announcing their leave are people who find DT too hard and want it back to Endwalker levels, or incredibly weird bigots who complain about wokeness, so I'm alright with them leaving lol.

dam u got all the annoying characters hopping on ur thread. must be hard being right......... stay strong homie

You are completely mistaken. As a company, understanding the reasoning behind why customers are being lost is very important. Without receiving thorough feedback and understanding why, companies cannot respond appropriately to the issues causing the loss of customer retention.

The sauce greatly affects how pineapple tastes on pizza.

Such posts will also move out of page 1 a lot faster without all the "i don't care" replies.

Now you're talking /\

I wish they would make a feedback section instead and force posters to post there with these types of threads. That way the devs and the community who doesn't care to see it can both equally ignore it. And the complainers with their "feedback" can still have their corner to do so.

If anything, the XIV forums lacks heavier moderation and needs to start mandating consolidating feedback into fewer threads. We should not have 10-20+ threads all posting the exact same thing but just with a different person suffering main character syndrome.

100, this has been a problem since day one with this game. So much so that we honestly need a "consolidating mod" to merge the constant duplicate threads, or lock the duplicates and funnel users to one thread on a topic.

It's the purpose of the forums for people to provide feedback. Whether or not any of you deem the feedback to be valid is entirely irrelevant, it's for CBU3 to decide. These people are and have been directed these forums to do just what they are doing.

Pursue your own pursuits, don't open the threads. If you have some deep-seated issue, then you should be complaining to CBU3 and SE themselves about this being the use of the forums as an attempt to have this no longer be the intended destination for any such feedback. It has been said these posts are meant for twitter, but perhaps they are directed here because CBU3 does not want to have to go to twitter to see the trends occuring in their own company.

You cannot continue to open threads you know you will dislike and expect to be taken seriously when you bark about them. At that point at least the person leaving is actually providing some kind of using feedback for SE.

it seems like the same thing that happened back on the wow forums and people quitting for ff14 threads. y'all dont like seeing yourselves in the mirror huh

tysm bruther .. i feel like we speak the same language

I think you should advertise your leave. Other people may not be aware that players share their own grievances and be inspired to leave as well.

so anyway im unsubbing bc every fight doesnt have large barricades on the edges and i egressed off the ledge again

Okay, honey. Welcome to the forums. See you here again complaining about the same thing in 10 years if you haven't worked anything out by then.

The part about ignoring such threads if you dislike them is so you can just enjoy the forum more and also not keep all those threads you supposedly despise at the top of the list.

As for your point b), it seems you are drawn to a lot of drama and like to add to it yourself - so not sure your point.

they often dodge the points made then say some rude shit. or say rude shit then dodge the points brought up. just ignore em.
