This is not just a response to the lack of responses. lol.
If you are "looking into this" along with the rest of the 2000 things you're currently looking into... Maybe a forum "restructure" is needed.
(They are not productive in their current state)
mostly due to obvious troll/fanboy/retarded reasons.
We are getting little to no feed back about what is being implemented. The forums are awash with troll and drama posts. I personally only bother with this site because of the reps - And even they are unable to give deffinative answers. ("we will look into this/this is not planned")
I've read the 1.18 "make or break" drama. I've looked at the job class=/=weapon drama. Ive seen the issues about jump and map collision, the balancing of classes issues, the "meaningless stat" problems. Lack of interesting maps, lack of exploration and general challenges. No story. Poor and engaging story issues. What to do about zones containing r1~90 mobs. And lack of aforementioned races and classes that will be "in game".
Everything
They are ultimatly doing nothing for the "betterment" of XIV.
IM AM IN NO WAY STATING YOU SHOULDNT HAVE THE RIGHT TO BITCH.
AT ALL.
In my personal opinion. I would do away with OVER-STATED opinions on this forum and keep things to a "what works" and "what doesnt work" approach. (irony i know..)
SE are a decent team of a developers, and at their best, they are an amazing team. (<<We all know what I'm talking about here)
So, in conclusion to this varied and random rant.
(As we all know.) This game is going to take time.
This "forum" and its contribution to the future of the game we all care soso much about (irony again*) needs to be about 9000 times more productive than its current state.
Cus to be fair most the sh** on here is old and boring.
Im asking for some form of productivity beyond its current state.
