SquareCare for hardcore players

I've noticed that a lot of players seem to feel like they're not getting what they deserve. They're not getting what they deserve out of this game, or from Square Enix. As we have seen even after the announcement of the revamping of the entire game, some players are just demanding more, more, and more between patches that are more frequent than ever.

The relationship between gamer and game company is real. Even things like matters of trust come between gamers and Square Enix, as Yoichi Wada and Yoshi-P have said. There is a deep divide between Square Enix and FFXIV owners.. and no amount of frequent patches or dev team communication is going to help, I'm sorry. That is why I would like to know, in addition to rewarding FFXI players with Loyalty Mode.. what else can Square Enix do to mend its relationship with the most loyal members of its fanbase? It's important that Square Enix does all they can to make up to their loyal customers for the disappointing launch of FFXIV. Players have invested their time and hard work into FFXIV, often without good reason.

That's why I think we need something called SquareCare.. "for the most hardcore and loyal of FFXIV gamers."

Square Enix pays YOU to play FFXIV.. finally recognizing YOUR HARD WORK!

-If you have enough free time to grind every class to 50, you qualify for SquareCare
-Once capped at 50 on all jobs SquareCare sends you a living allowance check for $500, every month
-Once a relic weapon is fully upgraded, your living allowance increases by another $500 to a total of $1,000 a month
-If you obtain Ridill and all of the above SquareCare will provide you with health insurance
-Once your linkshell has downed 50 HNMs, SquareCare will provide you with free flights to Toyko every 6 months to give your valued feedback to the dev team in person, along with a pizza party with Yoshi-P
-Once all achievements have been obtained, you will reach maximum fame with SquareCare and before the follow up MMO to FFXIV is released all major gameplay changes must pass a majority vote of approval by members at this level
-If you have played the game nonstop after 8 years and completed all expansion content, you get your own Lodestone topics post and an ornamented character nameplate in game, to distinguish you from casual players (Lamhirh)

EDIT: Added 1

Did I miss anything? Please feel free to add to this list.

1 year after release and the game is not better, make it Open Source....

That wont happen. If you want an Open Source Game engine go talk to Valve.

lol amazing.

First Loyalty Mode and know SquareCare?

"Thank You Square Enix.
Thanks to you my life now has a meaning!"

Text for a Promotion Video

I think the last point is wrong. Reaching max level of SquareCare means the next MMO will actually be made exclusively for you. Majority vote, what kind of crap is that?

Maybe, but what kind of feat would warrant that?

This thread delivers, thanks I needed this. <3

First off, when we talk about an FF title, I'm gonna use XI players, if you didn't play XI I don't actually care, not my problem. In XI there were people who loved that game but were turned off by how many hours it took, I think base people who play an FF title are more hardcore than casual. Just look at this, go to any site for f2p mmos, their idea of a casual game is built upon cutesy anime, and socialization. FFXI had socialization and a lot of people loved that aspect, XIV has a social community (compared to other mmos), so in general most FF fans like the casual aspect of socialization in an mmo at times. People who want to play a FF mmo want a challenge, they just don't want to have to wait for people to gather together for 4 hours before getting to the challenge like in XI. I just think even the most casual players of XIV, especially those who played XI, are more hardcore than they think, and then the supposed "hardcores" think.

lol

nice to see something to give us a laugh.

Interesting.. what does anyone else think? Are FF players universally looking for a challenge? I enjoy a challenge but I don't think that's what brings me to the table. I am one of the people that doesn't want to sink a lot of time into the game just to accomplish something obscure.

is this a responce to the people wanting femalemanboycats?

Lol Neptune you make some funny threads.

No Kam I don't think it is. Wanting missing gender races doesn't make you Hardcore or Casual. I think you are the only person taking it to the extreme level about hating them... Get over yourself already you didn't want it but it's going to happen anyway.

edit: Well I'm off to finish work and continue being excited about the interesting patch arriving tomorrow.

Difficult content for casual players is the answer. In the process, "hardcore" gets destroyed and assimilated.
