Yoshi-P's vision for FFXIV

[Rivienne]

I feel like his vision is still too idealistic. It shows in the way it was implemented with no vote-kick, there was no gear check, no limits on Need/Greed rolls, no penalty for leaving. As reality is sinking in, these elements are starting to be implemented piece by piece. I'm cautious about the LFP system. I'm not impressed with the MVP idea AT ALL.

These mistakes were already made. I don't see why he felt the need to make them again. I'm not trying to lynch him for it. Just beat him with a wet noodle.

I have a character on a JP world and while I have had problems with the DF, all of them are english speaking (usually NA) players. I don't mean that as an over generalization either. I mean I have yet to come across a single JP player that has been problematic in the queue even if they don't like being queued with new players. I have had some JP players that were irritated with EN players, but not the trolling or hostile behaviour I get from the NA players in general.


The experience on the whole is radically different in the JP only queue on JP worlds then in EN only on NA worlds. So am beginning to think that the reason they didn't think to put some of these features in, is because while the attitudes are still there they aren't as problematic as on the NA side.

Granted this is till somewhat short sighted, but after having seen how radically different behavior between a high population JP server and a high population NA server is, it still makes sense to me how they could have underestimated the potential problems. Honestly as much as I would prefer playing on a NA server because of language barriers, there are times I would far rather play on the JP servers because of attitudes, or at least public facing behavior. (I still am against hard gear checks in general, but so long as it is for DF random only I am cautiously okay with it)
