Complaints are ruining this game.

[WiiSam]

I'm tired of the negativity. I would love for there to be more constructive criticism/feedback. I just feel there's a, for a lack of a better metaphor, a bunch of dingleberries dangling on FFXIV's rear end that refuse to let go.

I wish I could have found the words. That is exactly what I'm talking about!

But it goes both ways. There are a lot of people who bring up valid complaints, and are shouted down with that same attitude. It's not "complaints" that are the problem, it's a prominent attitude on BOTH sides that deems anything else an invalid criticism. Some of the "positive" types are the most negative people on the board (not saying you specifically, just in general!), responding to criticism in a negative fashion of their own. Not to pick on WiiSam here, but this topic is a fine example of approaching the problem of negativity... in a negative, self-defeating fashion (and I only bring that up to illustrate the point, not to add to the pessimism!).

Negativity is not the sole dominion of the "critics", and we'll NEVER change attitudes until we accept that both sides have things to learn.

I like your Rowyne Moonsong quote.

And I don't like Lady GaGa.

And I'll Plus one your message. Probly the best explanation of the situation yet!

I'm not sure why you think I was being negative. I feel as if I tried to deliver my message in the most respectful manner while simalteneously trying to defeat trolls and treating them too, who don't deserve it, with respect. It no way was I being negative. I am simply requesting that people stop the negativity and started this thread with hopes to change people's minds about being negative. That will not only help our community be a little more progressive but it will also stress the producers outa little less and we may actually get what we want.

Complaints are a valid form of feedback and can be constructive.

about as valid as an adult with a dumb "my little pony" pic. ya..... they so killed that cartoon but making oit like power puff girls

anyway no complaints are NEVER constructive negetive feedback is. And negative feed back isn't a complaint.

1 complaint: mommy, are we there yet? my feet hurt. I want my candy, why can you give it to me? (these are complaints)

2 negative feedback: we tried the auto attack (after ALL changes are out in) and we feel there can be some improvements.


sorry but there is nothing no reason to complain about content you guys haven done yet. Stop contradicting yourselves.

If we didn't have complaints we'd still be killing mobs for random SP.

oh god you cant imagine how i long the day the game gets out of its free to play phase.
make sure to lock the forums to active accounts only then to get rid of quite some cancer inside the "community" as well, and kiss that sickening feelings of entitlement people seem to hold so dear here goodbye.
the "community feedback" might have been good to lay out the foundation but i dont want to hear the same shit in the years to come whenever something gets implemented.

its SE's game not yours, they make the game, you play it, thats how it should be. eat what gets on the table and you better eat the goddamn veggies too, content cant be all steak.

[Rentahamster]

Yo dawg, I hear you like complaining, so I complain about complaining so you can complain while you complain.

[Morphemes]

I can't believe you went there. Seriously... Dude, you're out of your mind! They aren't complaints! They are warnings.

It is called RESPONSIBILITY!

ABSOLUTION IS YOUR DUTY!

Your attack misses the target.

I don't want to seem harsh... wait, what am i saying Are you out of your mind!?!?

the producers produce, and they produced a team of people who get payed to listen to us, and you're trying to convince us that that team doesn't need to exist... Even though not everyone sees it this way, you can't deny the inherent threat you pose to the greater well being of the final fantasy XIV player base... See, the thing you're trying to start, in the most widespread context, is a mindlessness... you're telling us that there is a fear in your doubt, and that this fear is something you think we should all have & the only thing that gets rid of this fear is a quiet acceptance of the imperfections that dig holes in out minds... You fear change, you're swimming upstream.

this adolescences makes me ill.

? I don't understand what you're trying to say. Please explain.
