So sick of prioritisation

[Vesperia]

I am so sick of prioritisation. Or prioritization* if you are that way inclined.

What is this? An intellectual recession or something? Aren't we even allowed to want things anymore?

Everytime someone asks for something, regardless of how basic and standardised the concept is, apparently it cannot be done because it isn't "a priority". Funny, here was me thinking this was supposed to be a video game competing in an already saturated market.

We can't even have mounts anymore because it isn't a priority. Lol? If this was an indie company with ten staff members, I could perhaps understand where people were coming from acting like a mount is a luxury we can't afford. But this is a game produced by Square Enix.

Shouldn't basic things like mounts, jumping, network-coding, and other such features be within their capacities. It's not like any of these are novel ideas with no precedent. They are elementary features.

Sorry you feel that way you are free to leave.

The OP does have a point. It may not be well thought out... But he has a point.

I think SE is doing/did a terrible job and I still think he should leave. Does that make me a fan boy?

And here is a real test of priorities:

Would you rather have an exciting MMO or a less-than exciting "Final Fantasy" ?

Holy crap Vesp, you're ridiculous. It's not that we can't HAVE things, it's that we can't have them right friggin NOW. Are you seriously that self-entitled and immature that you cannot afford the mental capacity to wait it out? Yes yes I know, omg the game's been out 9 months, whatever whatever. It's also been through a lead change and restructuring, and they're in the process of changing everything. Wait it out or go play a single player RPG if you need your FF fix that badly, because to be honest you're bad for ANY community at this point.

Note, I come into this fully realizing that there's a LOT of shit wrong with this game, but I'd prefer to let the devs sort it out and fix it via mature suggestions along the proper channels than qq'ing on general every. single. day. about the same thing over and over and over and over... ad infinitum.

A post count of 39 doesn't mean I don't read every single retarded, dead horse kicking thread on this abomination of a forum. Even with your obvious distaste for SE's work on this game you might as well dub yourself a fan boy too. Why else would you hang around these forums so much? Either that or you're a masochist.

Do you really think the community reps are actually giving these daily, 600 complaint threads a second glance? Do you honestly think they are passing on any of your QQing to the dev team? Do you think the Dev team is going to work any more diligently or cater the game to all the whiners on this forum?

Every game developer has their own Prioritization. Considering SE is "re-building" core system faults, I would venture to say that those take priority over EVERYTHING else at the moment.

And here is a real test of priorities:

Would you rather have an exciting MMO or a less-than exciting "Final Fantasy" ?

I have TERA at the end of the year. I have GW2 sometime in 2012. Ultimately I have patience for a company that gave me 8 years of a great MMO under my gaming belt. As long as they aren't charging me during their re-building time, why would I complain?

Low priority =/= Never come.

Have you ever thought about why some things are high priority and some not?

Yes, I have. And the only conlcusion is that they aren't working hard enough or Wada cut their funding.

One of those things need to change or I will keep complaining. I won't stop until every man, woman, and lalafell can ride a chocobo across the plains of Eorzea.
