So sick of prioritisation

[Sephr]

"SE, we don't want an MMO, we want a Final Fantasy"

Didn't you make that thread? But that's totally different, right?

I'm glad someone else has noticed this. Cair's somehow got it in his head that he speaks for the community, just because he has more time to live on the forums and post extremely long threads.

And saying you speak for final fantasy fans is somewhat stupid, we wouldn't be here if we weren't fans of the series.

no the point is if they dont put one thing over another, we dont get the stuff that ever matters in order to get content and things to do in game

instead we get a bunch of fluff

Dammit, did you just buy your account from some Chinese Gilseller? Or have you already forgotten that this game's been out for more than half a year, and even Yoshi, the miracle-man has been in office for several months now? Where is that stuff "that matters" you are talking about?

Today I had the pleasure to look at a graph of estimated player numbers for MMORPGs. The only ones left actively playing FFXIV are those who would play it because of its name, and those who feel pity. (and those who cling to some irrational hope like me, but the numbers of such idiots are dwindling fast).

That's what people used to say in September 2010.

When SE made no such claims, unlike now. People were in denial, and now the same goes for you.

"It didn't happen back then (as the devs made no such claims of there being anything being worked on), it won't happen now (when there are multiple overhauls being worked on)".

You're just as in denial as the people back then, only this time you're at the other side of the spectrum. Grats.

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 that 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.

Yes, basic things like Mounts, Airships, Linkshell Management, a functioning practical trading system, MH, Mailboxes should be the priority to many players. Most of these things they aren't even working on. So when will they be implemented? Noone will give us a definite answer and date of when exactly the things players want will happen. Basically I think it comes down to now leave or stay. I'm a fan but this is getting ridiculous. I do not want dungeons over these other things. I don't know what they are thinking but they aren't listening to the fans enough to do something about it now.

You seriously think you and the <30k other people and their enjoyment has any priority over fixing everything else first? You are not unique snowflake, you aren't giving them any money and you haven't quit so far. All they need is enough people to bitch about their patches so they can improve on the systems. That's not a lot. The rest is filler and irrelevant for a long time to come.

How does the reality feel? They don't give a damn, they have.a bigger fish to fry.

Yes, I think the fans should be the priority!

Yes, I think the fans should be the priority!

I absolutely agree. I really don't think it's good for SE to ignore there fans. I mean has this worked for any company?

How do you know they're not working on them, just because they hasn't announced it yet? If not, haven't you thought that maybe they'll start working on it after they implement the dungeons and the battle changes? Yes bring on the mailboxes, while I have nothing to interesting to do in this bland, boring world. Mailing stuff is way more fun than doing dungeons.

Yes, I think the fans should be the priority!

Where have you been man? The fans have been a priority, why do you think they're changing the battle system and adding a job system? That's what a majority of the fans want!

How does a graph of estimated player numbers lead you to that conclusion?

I'd only agree with a pie chart myself.
