Open Message to the Developers

It was a mistake to post.

I got met with personal accusations and hostility, but I shouldn't have answered or gotten personal back.

Bye.

Right. Anyway,

I get what you're going for here, OP, but this is not the time for praise. They've done some things right with this patch. I can't deny that. And I do appreciate those things. But sometimes a good old fashioned kick in the pants gets the ball rolling. Sometimes. That is what is needed right now.

My assumption is that there are likely some very stressed people on the FFXIV team tied to these subjects.

I'd just like to take a moment to say that while these are points that need to be addressed, I know I and many other fans still respect and appreciate you all a lot. We recognize that the developers work hard as well as sincerely, and we do appreciate when there's transparency about any problems that arise.

Please remember to take care of yourselves too. While there might be frustration tied to issues with the game it means a lot when those are recognized and prioritized as well. We also see how much effort went into the parts of the game that are going as intended, and appreciate that.

These shitposts are getting out of hand guys

Stop excusing mediocrity. This community has such a problem with toxic positivity that y'all think they're immune to valid criticism and complaints. They need to be held accountable, and more than just a stale "sorry".

While they have done amazing things previously, in regard to the Hrothgar, they had 3 years to deliver something to the Hrothgar player base. 3 Years and they give them hairstyles that removes their ears. They simply did not care. I am sorry deliver something like they did, they are going to have to accept the criticism and more and more issues are happening they kind of earned the criticism.

SE is not a bunch of kids playing around with code for the first time. You can’t keep saying “it’s okay” to every mistake that happens. Even Twitter is being ruthless towards SE right now and have this game trending in the spotlight in the worst possible way. Now is the time for them to really figure out how to fix this mess. Not receive more praise and comfort.

I agree that the issues are issues and need to be addressed. Being an asshole about it isn't necessary here.

What about what I said was "being a jerk" btw? I said they need to be held accountable, and they do. I said stop settling for mediocrity, which the recent Hrothgar and housing situation is. I hope YoshiP is paying you well because no one can be bootlicking this hard for valid complaints. Good things don't outweigh bad things, they are separate things.
